Now!

If you really want to give your audio system a workout, in all my years as an audiophile, I've never heard anything even approaching the Grace Jones 'Nightclubbing' cassette.

The 'wow' factor and dynamics are way off the Richter scale, provided sufficient power is available to properly 'drive' the speakers.

I hasten to add that I am NOT a fan of Grace Jones - far from it, in fact, but when I heard this cassette at a major audio fair, I simply had to buy it for the instrumental content alone.

It's an Island recording No. ICT 9624. Don't know if it's still available - possibly now on CD.

I guess this should be in the general yak section, but I just thought I'd continue the thread here. Apologies.

I just think the short would look great on a big screen and sound awesome through a Dolby unit. I do play the drums, mostly jazz based, so that's another reason why I liked it.

If this does belong in General Yak, would Sgt. Kev please relocate it [Big Grin]

Go back to youtube by hitting the link that opens this topic. Then search for more of these videos. I think they fall under the category "animusic". I watched several of them last night and enjoyed alot of what I saw.

I have the sound output from my computer attached to a nice Panasonic boom box that has "XBS" built in (E -X-tra Bass System) and these videos gave the most bass response my boom box has ever played back. And it was only turned up to 9:00 (o'clock)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with David about Grace Jones' Nightclubbing. I've got it on vinyl and CD and the vinyl simply blows the CD away.

CDs and mp3s are fine in their place (in the car, background in the workshop) but for real listening it still has to be vinyl. One caveat - I haven't tried 96KHz CDs so I'm prepared to be converted; although I'm not in a hurry to do so!

Ps. Chip - I liked the video.

Nice Clip Chip,

I personally think this one is a great bit of home DIY editing to one of Queens classics, Bohemian Rhapsody.
