Hey. Seeing that musical tastes are extremely wide ranging on this list, I thought, I'd post about a record that is decidedly non-AJ but nevertheless extremely cool: John Zorn's "The Big Gundown" This is a fairly old Zorn record which was originally released on Nonesuch records but was recently cleaned up and rereleased on Zorn's own excellent label, Tzadik.
Now, I'm not one to buy the same record twice so I can have 20-bit remastering and all that jazz, but the difference here is HUGE!!! It's like listening to a new record. Morricone's music can be very subtle at times, and alot of that was lost on the original release. On this one, you here everything in such amazingly vivid detail and pick up things which passed you right by on the Nonesuch release, you'll almost swear it's a different record altogether. There's also an extra 6 tracks that weren't included on the original release which make the new package all the more enticing, and each new track is superb. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Those who hate film music or esoteric music in general should probably abstain.
Happy listening,
Stimp
