Well I must put a little note in here and a preview to something I will post tomorrow.
It will go further into the minefields of what I previously posted about but I will also be revealing some gadgets for music too, one I have own already it seems I a was unfairly harsh on and another that I have just acquired!
I shall point out that part of the topic involved my ears and the NHS and though this should technically be in the other blog I have on corruption, which oddly has far more visitors by a country mile than any of my others. Maybe that evidence does seem to be having an affect.
Yesterday I walked around Sainsburys listening to music with a constant smile on my face and goosebumps?! I have heard some good sounds of late, albeit MUTED a little, but yesterday AND today and pardon the pun one is not intended I could NOT believe my ears?!
I have also discovered something that is quite interesting and fully intend to put this to the test in the next couple of weeks!!
It seems that the EU 80dB limit that everyone seems to adhere to despite it not being a law set in stone is not quite as set in stone as the powers that be had first intended...
...more on that in a couple of weeks time when I have put these theories to the test and make sure I have not misinterpreted something to do with a certain item of hardware, which seems to have an EXTRA workaround that if true would be ... fantastic and I CANNOT WAIT!!!
Part ONE tomorrow with some photographs and Part TWO in two weeks time, yes well I have to wait too you know?!?! Hehehe.
LMFAO!!

LED ZEPPELIN
Everything!!
This for me was another ground breaking outfit and what can be said about these guys that has not been said previously?!
There music is still used today by many modern artists and most notably ...
Kashmir in Puff Daddy's Come With Me and..
Immigrant Song by Trent Raznor & Atticus Ross with Karen O for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Daniel Craig version)
Then there is of course...
Stairway to Heaven that often gets voted greatest track of all time!
One thing about their catalogue and one I most remember is the remastered box set that was released years ago with the crop circles on the cover. I wanted that real bad and remember seeing it in the then Our Price stores. I refused to go for the smaller remaster box and waited for the big one but never got round to it.
I never found out if it did improve the original recordings at all but did hear rumours that it didn't do a great deal so maybe I saved a great deal of cash on that one!
I have just realised I have never looked them up on Amazon to see if their have been any other reissues, oh don't you just love reissues and you pay over and over to edge closer and closer to what you wanted, and indeed expected, the first time round.
Most of the time, as I have constantly explained to so-called audiophiles, is that CDs only sound crap if they were made like crap in the first place! Whether this is was the case with Led Zeps albums I do not know.

THE MOODY BLUES
Another set of classics for me but often comes in two flavours...
The tracks that are melodious, ground breaking with use of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, I think it was, and then the stuff that sounds very 1960's and rather like Sid Barret's Pink Floyd on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Well at times that is, lol.
Days of Future Passed (Nights in White Satin one)
In Search of the Lost Chord
To Our Children's Children's Children
A Question of Balance (particularly Melancholy Man)
...
Have to come back to that list doing all these from memory alone, lmao.

RADIOHEAD
Oh well this one is the hardest one to describe and at times the most surprising for me.
I had long since been familiar with the album everyone knows and its main tracks released as singles, like Karma Police, Paranoid Android and No Surprises but to my shock and many years later three albums for me shot above that one as my favourites...
Amnesiac
The King of Limbs
In Rainbows
OK Computer
Hail to the Thief
These are placed in order, hmm no they are not lol, well the first three I love more so than OK Computer! All albums are classics in their own right!
Also out of my main artists these are, along with Moby, one of the few still producing tunes?!
Not heard Tom Yorke's The Erazer yet.
Love the way he names some of his songs and just another facet of this band that makes them unique in every way.
