QUOTE(auronthas @ Jul 14 2008, 05:32 AM) Yes, both are them are imported edition. As i have said, the 3rd album, the recording is not so good, especially vocal soundstage, i can hear noise when Hayley sing on high tones. if like that the recording spoil the album already coz Hayley voice is so nice on high tones. |

QUOTE(auronthas @ Jul 11 2008, 10:01 PM) I do have Steely Dan - Showbiz Kids The Steely Dan Story 1972 - 1980 (dual disc). Here's the brief review of 'Two Against Nature' abstracted from Tower.com and few magazines. Actually this album was released in year 2000, but hardly find locally. Rolling Stone (1/4/01, p.117) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000". Rolling Stone (3/16/00, p.72) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...[The album] is Steely Dan defined....mixing world-class chops and jazzy postgraduates soul sound with some wonderful, vague storytelling....stunning musical clarity....showcasing what Steely Dan's core twosome can do..." Entertainment Weekly (3/10/00, pp.68-9) - "...The core elements are unchanged: white-hot chops, black humor, and a flair for the cryptic....their ensemble sound remains sharp and inimitable....proves that you [still] 'can' buy a thrill." Q (4/00, p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...a demanding slice of music, brilliantly out of sync....its appeal is slow-burning and ultimately satisfying: enough to keep the faithful happy for another 20 years." Uncut (3/00, p.90) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...TWO AGAINST NATURE is the very best thing Steely Dan have ever done..." Vibe (4/00, p.183) - "...musically [they] are in their prime....this is the only band that truly understands how James Brown's scratchy grooves and the Eagles' lite-rockin' appeal aren't mutually exclusive. These OGs flex their trademark dark wit like it never went out of style..." Mojo (Publisher) (3/00, p.102) - "...Sharp, sleek, sophisticated, more going on than a couple of spins can take in and seductive enough to keep drawing you back. 9 tracks, some a little cooler, funkier or jazzier than others...and all top-form. Quintessentially Steely Dan." NME (Magazine) (3/4/00, p.35) - 7 out of 10 - "...exquisite....still hermetically sealed in an exclusive world where the pursuit of the immaculate 'chop' is paramount, [they] are the only men in history to make the concept of the cerebral muso remotely tantalising..." Thanks man. I gotta try and give it a listen. This post has been edited by otroman: Jul 14 2008, 10:22 AM |

what about chinese/cantonese (especially canto!) good jazz/easy listening cds?
apart from cai4 qin2 whom i like but can't listen to too often, are there jazzy/acoustic renditions of pop music which are recommended? as someone mentioned, chen2 jie2 li4's albums are good, she's got a classic voice which still suits certain pop songs. am currently looking for more! |

QUOTE(auronthas @ Jul 2 2008, 07:59 PM) Also I have ordered three CDs via tower.com (hard to find from local CD shops) which are highly recommended Finally, i received two of three CDs ordered via tower.com yesterday (2-3 weeks shipping and handling).a) Two against Nature - Steely Dan (Rock, Pop) b) Getz/Gilberto - Stan Getz / Joao Gilberto (Latin, Jazz) c) Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams (Folks, Rock) I will display their track lists after ripping and saving into my music jukebox Cheers a) Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams - Winner of 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, it's real American country/folk music. b) Two against nature by Steely Dan - I have posted its review earlier in this thread Attached photoshots of the CDs.

I think you should listen to some more indie electro! Those are the best!
 I recommend you all Imogen Heap! |

Hey,
I just re-discovered this CD in my store-room: Dave Matthew's Band "Beneath these crowded streets" Awesome la wei. Fusion-pop-rock. Now, if I can only find it in vinyl form... |

listened to audiophile voice V.. imo the songs are not as deep as the older albums already. arrangements are just a little suspect at times. singers' voices are still awesome though. still an album well worth getting!
