@Soyad : An Experiment In Sound

As I'm sitting in a cafe writing, I'm listening to a new record, the cover with the Goddard inspired gatefold you can see above. I have on some El-Chepo headphones. It's sounds nothing like sound pumping through a stereo turned up loud. As a listener you are short changed. Commodity electronics. Yes, I'm a music #snob. There is definitely an order of listening to music. Live #music is better, then #vinyl on a #stereo. Finally I'd settle for good radio before listening to digital music. In my youth the decision to buy vinyl wasn't really a conscious one. There really wasn't any other mediums aside from casettes. It has payed off though. I saved most of these albums.

I decided to conduct an experiment in listening to broaden what I listen too, nothing too extreme. As a child who grew up listening to analog sound, my ear is tuned to that era of instruments. It has been interesting. I've taken careful note of the last ten or so vinyl records I've chosen and one thing I've found, indeed listening to Neil has skewed my listening towards higher pictched musicians. Out of the last twelve records, ten are female artists.

Neil may have spoiled my ear for music. It's been worth it though, "'cause it's all about the sound."
