I have never heard of any of the artists.utopian - You have never heard of Joni Mitchell or Boards of Canada?jagara

- Thanks for the upvotes :)jagara
- Yeah, some of it is pretty old (classic) stuff. That Jasper Van't Hof track is from 1976, Alain Clavier from the 70's too :)jagara
- I like how this is bringing together a common thread across different styles. Like you can say BOC's stuff has a kind of folk influence to ityuekit

That album turn 25 years old tomorrow, October 24th.
I was 16yo and Smashing was one of the most important thing in my life back then.
In other news, they announced they will release a 33-Song Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and MACHINA Sequel and they plans to tour in honor of double album's 25th anniversary in 2021. https://www.spin.com/2020/10/sma…
- Mellon Collie is a timeless masterpiece. As is Gish and Siamese Dream. What a trifecta.CyBrainX
- i agree. And i would put the The Aeroplane Flies High boxed set in there tooBennn
- Yeah. I bought that when it came out. It was packaged in a vintage record carrying case that looked like a lunchbox. https://www.ebay.com…CyBrainX
- All was great albums! Was a super fan when I was 16 tooeryx
- CybrainX, I still have mine :)Bennn
- it was in limited number when it came out. I wanted it so bad, i asked my mum non stop to get it!Bennn
- I bought it on CD the day it came out. Also saw them on this tour. It was good but nothing was ever Siamese Dream again********
- Seen them at lollap or bfd or sum near SF, they walked out mid show, the called us the audience dirty pollutersmoldero
- I worked on the Canadian release of this. It went gold at just one record store in my city. I still have the album art on a syquest, lolGnash
- 1995 walking through washington square park at around 3am from a late shift. starla playing in my walkman. they were the soundrack of my life back then.sea_sea
- Those 3/4 first tapes were everything, especially Gish and Siamese Dream. They lost me after Chamberlin was out.sea_sea

- It’s perfect Autumn music, when it’s grey and cold outside and the leaves have turned colour.shapesalad
- Ugh. I still have this album, but I cannot listen to Billy Corgan.dasohr
- can't dive into melancholic these days -:) but back in the days i loved it, also the album artwork is great. i put many cd's in the trash - this - stays with meapi
- It's odd how after Adore he completely lost the ability to write good songs anymore.CyBrainX
- What's the point of people shitting on this album? Just don't post if you don't like it. The internet is full of shitty people.pinkfloyd
- I like Adore and can tolerate Machina and Zwan.fooler
- I remember hurrying into the CD store thinking there would be a huge line or it would be sold out on day one! hahaha a clerk laughed at me a bit********

Bill Evans got me hooked on jazz. This is my setup.
- wow Naim amplifier I think, nice setup !!!********
- NSK poster ftw!renderedred
- oh that's a lovely set********
- are those rubber cubes what u r using as legs for speaker? idk how that horn is mounted but it looks like that it gets lots of resonance from down bellow.********
- @sted wooden cubes. No resonance, pretty transparent setup.fisheye

- Whole room is bonus.PhanLo
- Yeah this is a great low budget set of kit.ben_
- @ben You are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, aren’t you?fisheye
- i hope this guy doesn't live in an apartment block with a sound installation like that...milfhunter
- Fisheye, enable “detect sarcasm”. It’s a beautiful setup, and a great choice of music to showcase it.ben_
- @milfhunter lol it isn't about the volume. the sound what leaves that room will be surprisingly nominal if you do things in the right way.********
- like the only thing i would replace are the wooden legs what transfer sound to the floor and f up a bit the lower frequencies.********
- and possibly the relationship with the one down bellow :)********
- The volume is usually 60 - 70 db in the listening position. And yes, I live in apartment block. The system is very transparent. I measured the outcome and ...fisheye
- ... it is pretty close to the source. So if the recording is good, it sounds good an if it’s bad I don’t listen to it. ;) There is a thing when you dig into ...fisheye
- ... let’s say audiophile world, the music you listened to before is eventually being ignored just because of the recording quality. That sucks.fisheye
- curious if you find that statement depends on the context of the recording... punk music or early 90's rap for instance... is clarity the only measure for you?ben_
- @ben_ I don’t know about clarity, I was talking about transparency (neutralness of the system). I enjoy sound stages, holography, depth of the sound stage, ...fisheye
- .. the illusion of walking between musicians in my living room. But as I mentioned, it all depends on recording - mix and mastering.fisheye
- ... regarding the music you mentioned, I gravitate towards recorded music with mics, not generated music via softwares but a lot of sludge, stoner, doom ...fisheye
- ... you can see on my Instagram @dejanmiletic my previous gearfisheye
- Cool, yeah it was an honest question... you mentioned how recording quality leads to not listening to certain music anymore.ben_
- But for me, anyhow some of the magic of music that gets opened up with a good system is the background you don't get to hear otherwise!ben_
- I don’t know about opening up, but any interference or coloration of the source is usualy unexceptae by audiophiles..fisheye
- wow Naim amplifier I think, nice setup !!!

I've been trying to give my daughter a grounding in eighties music, so have been listening to quite a lot of it recently. One thing I've never really done with music from that era is listen to it with headphones (well, at least modern in-ear ones - I'm not talking about those orange-sponged atrocities we had plugged into our walkmans) and it's made me really appreciate it beyond the base background radio presence it always was for me in my younger years. Like, they were tunes I thought were fine enough, but i never really savoured or appreciated them for what they actually brought anew.
Anyway, her favourites from today are:
Obvs Spotify or originals have better headphone-sound than youtube...
- Yes have noticed this too.microkorg
- Good taste!mort_
- nice :) my daughter is in her 20's now, and grew up listening to stuff like 'killing joke' and cocteau twins with me :)exador1
- she's always been keen on late 70's and early 80's synth bands... lately she's been obsessed with a band from that era called 'the sound'exador1
- This is the original version of the first song strangely
https://www.youtube.…yuekit - ^ haha, wtf - I am all of the comments from the older Youtubers there :)Nairn
- @exador - lovely! I've long-since wondered at the perception of the continuum of music development and how it's perceived by 'new' ears.Nairn
- I know it's impossible, but I've always wondered what it would be like to be in the head of some different, younger, hearing 'old' tunes for the first timeNairn

- Full KEXP performance
https://www.youtube.…mg33 - Huh! How weird for me to see this now - I think they played last night at the studios here. I wondered why it was so busy!Nairn
- This sounds really cliche... but hearing that song was as close to a "first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit" moment in a LONG time.mg33
- Just been to check the roster and last night was a "Secret Gig". I saw 'Black Midi' written on a notice earlier and thought it a cool band name. Damnit!Nairn
