LR...Daft Punk have come a long way since Homework. Below is a Daft Punk record I used to spin in college (I started off spinning acid house and eventually progressed to deep/funky house). Vinyl only on Technic 1200 turntables. I'm not sure I miss the days of carrying around crates of vinyl.

I really enjoy the new album. There are some reference tracks on there (sonically) but the tracks that initially got my attention were the collaboration with Julian Cassablancas from The Strokes and the collaboration with Panda Bear. RAM covers a lot of ground and takes you on quite the journey. Great stuff. Enjoy!

I also got Daft Punks RAM because of decfest. I like almost every song on there now. This surprised me.

It's also interesting that it won album of the year and best engineered album. I was reading the Loudness War topic at Wikipedia which says the over compression trend seems to be reversing. It cites this album as one example of this trend... and they were rewarded for it. (one of the reasons)

next...

This CD is being played via a Jolida 100. I Changed the Rectifier in my Taboo MK III from the stock Valve Art 274B to a newly acquired Delco branded 1953 RCA 5U4G that arrived yesterday and was sent as a replacement for an unsatisfactory tube sent previously. Headphones are the Audeze LCD 2.2's. I must say is sounds wonderful...it will stay there until my Torii returns from the Mother Ship.

I swear I have one of her albums somewhere that I don't see listed online, and it rocks - I'll have to find it. Switched to this - kinda bubble-gum-ish, but not bad.

I'm listening to the above CD again but have decided I'm going to return it. It was one of 13 items I bought from a seller. It was represented as being the EMI/ Roulette release when in fact it is a gray market copy from a Barcelona, Spain company called "Essential Jazz Classics". I must admit the sound quality seems good and I'm tempted to keep it. Does anyone have any experience with this company? I really don't like buying gray market product because the owners of the rights are paid nothing. I have done it occasionally for recordings not otherwise available. For example, the below CD from "Solar Records" that I bought from HPB&Rs, of a Newport Jazz Festival recording of Gerry Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band. Mark.
