El Pibe Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Their earlier stuff has that nostalgic glow about it, war, joshua tree etc are from happy days, golden summers and discoveruing what life has to offer, and it's hard to tease any of the music apart from that.I will damit to giving ATYCLB a first ever listen as i wrote that, so I guess it might have been rhetorical.It washed over me without my particularly noticing anything except the end of Beautiful Day making me think something about football was on (football focus?, match of the day prologue?) and Peace on Earth for being all Bonoey and awful, but the rest was pleasant enough without really making you want to listen rather than hear.Kind of Like Travis or Coldplay I guess.

El Pibe Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 great xpost.Yes I have the same problem with COldplay, I still like parachutes because its got a few good tunes and they were young and guiless and kind of nice, and then CHris Martin sort of metamorphosed into this awful thing, such that I genuinely haven't listened to anything they did since.Maybe if La Piba buys a load in ten years time i'll give them a go, especially as he's left the hippy hollywood horror.

Otta Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Songs like "Fix you" are genuinely good songs, but then you hear him say things like "it would be realy sad if the whole world doesn't hear this song (because it's that good)", you just want to slap him.

El Pibe Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Ah well, I put Trans Am's The Red Line on afterwards as musical antidote, and I reckon life's too short to listen to stuff that barely rises above the background hiss of the big bang.Crisis over.

david_carnell Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 "....went all Yewtree on us..."Phrase. Of. The. Day.Did we ever discover who the last person was? 63 year old male? Cliff? No more summer holidays either. We'd be stuck in a perpetual spring/autumn equinox!

El Pibe Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'll admit to undertanding about 20% of this article, but it was an interestinhg viewpoint and i enjoyed comments such as"The main advantage of component systems is that the dealer can sell ridiculously expensive cables, hand-knitted by Peruvian virgins and soaked in snake oil, to connect it all up. That some of these are supplied with arrows denoting the direction of signal flow defies description. Fortunately, the electrons can?t see the markings and behave normally."or"Despite [omni-directional speakers'] clear advantages, they remain uncommon because when time accuracy is needed and high frequencies are to be radiated all around, internal computing and equalisation is necessary and carpenters don?t know how to do that."http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/07/02/feature_the_future_loudspeaker_design/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/304-music-room-its-fully-soundproofed/page/70/#findComment-762507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The question is whether there really is a market for hifi which sounds "perfect" or even accurate.The hi-fi industry - even at the high end - seems more interested in delivering a sound that people will like rather than one which is true to the source (as well as flogging absurd accessories of course).
