    Picked up a few good oldies this weekend, among some other stuff that isn't as interesting.

    Played this today. One of the albums sitting around since I bought it back in the early 80s.

    Got 3 records in this weekend. 1) The Nils Frahm record, Tag Eins Tag Zwei that I mentioned in the work music thread. Has a fabric record cover. 2) A stark white copy of Moon Shaped Pool (I love how it looks, picture below.), and 3) An original copy of Kind of Blue. Noisy as f**k. Still don't have a record cleaning solution worked out so playing that will have to wait. Any opinions on whether the original is worth it or should I just buy a new version and sell this one?

    @sphinxvc The MFSL version of Kind of Blue is incredible. I've never heard the original pressing, but the MFSL version is the best I've heard Kind of Blue.

    Ive got a couple versions, and the MFSL is easily the best and easiest to find, but has a boosted low end for some reason. Sounds natural, but everything is just a hair boomier than normal.

    Funny you should post that. I just got that album in a ~30 album craigslist haul yesterday, I knew almost nothing about him or the album. It was one of the first ones I spun today, because of your post. Two times through I really liked it, and went to TIDAL to listen to more, and checked Wikipedia to read more. I encountered disappointing news...

    I discovered Jeff Buckley thru the 2006 French film, Tell No One. They played Lilac Wine in one of the scenes and, not having Shazam back then on my phone, I memorized a snippet of the lyrics to Google later. Such a great album.

    Excellent choice. This is one my favorite albums of all time. I never tire of it. And every time I hear it I'm mad that he's dead. Check out the Live at Sin-é concert. Only available digitally, but wow. He does a cover of Strange Fruit that you'd never expect from a white boy.

    Nils Frahm is great. I'd also recommend checking out Olafur, Johan Johnanson and Max Richter if this music is making you happy.

    Fuzz'd out riffs have never sounded so good.
