[Heeplist] Analog music recording

[Iain Barnes]

The analogue digital debate always divides opinions.  For me the sound isn't 
a massive thing simply because I can enjoy music on whatever it is played. 
That may stem from I've never been able to buy high end equipment to really 
notice the difference.  Saying that I still prefer to play vinyl if possible 
simply because I like the whole package of having to get the record and take 
it out of the sleeve and actually set in motion.  I like the big cover and 
that smell, i guess it reminds me of my childhood when music seemed more 
exciting upon discovery.  I look at album covers and may read the notes 
whereas on CDs I very rarely do, infact with CDs I never play them.  I 
usually rip them and add to computer and my trusty ipod.  My ipod is my 
lifeline when out and about.  I play music on my ipod more than any other 
format so you will never find me slating digital recordings.

I do 100% agree with Don on that,   and partially that is the reason for not 
really loving most of the modern music Heep-related inclusive. The character 
is different. I think, it was mid 80-s when classic rock was crucially 
damaged by the way of recording and since then it only gets worse soundwise. 
However, some albums are ok sounding to me. If we are still talking about 
modern UH, Pip Williams' job was as close as they could get to quality 
classic sound. The rest is tolerable, perhaps younger men will even rate it 
higher than the 70-s LPs - for me it is simply not the case. Modern vinyls 
make a little sense since everything is digital in studio but I do buy them 
more willingly - form-factor means something as well as the fact that we 
aren't limited here to kilobytes or any bytes at all as it is with CDs or 
mp3s.
Cheers, Igor
