Most people on here will think I'm crazy but downloaded See You Later by Vangelis---one of my favs of his...along with Albedo. I know there is an annoying song spoken by an annoying woman but that is the only weak song--the rest is very good and moving.

Too true! It's a great idea for a thread. I've never downloaded any music from the internet as there's really no need when it's all there on YouTube for free. The last CD I bought was the Jazz-Funk Sax-a-Go-Go album by Candy Dulfer for £1 from a charity shop last week. It's a pretty good album if I skip the Hip Hop track. The last albums I listened to on the internet were the entire discography of Queen, including all of their live albums on YouTube, and tomorrow I'll make a start on listening to all of the albums by Renaissance, with Jane Relf, Annie Haslam, Stephanie Adlington & Annie Haslam again, in that order. In the late evening, I'm currently listening to The Flaming Lips on CD as I drift off to sleep, which is rather surprising, as the extraordinarily heavy bass on The Flaming Lips albums tends to rattle the windows somewhat.

I wouldn't say you're crazy, although I might have said you're crazy if you'd paid to download Vangelis' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaubourg_%28album%29" rel="nofollow -

no way I'm that insane! See You Later is Vangelis' most wide-ranging work of the 1980s, with more radical musical and lyrical themes than are found in his other albums. The x-dictionary:r:Concept_album?lang=en&signature=com.apple.DictionaryApp.Wikipedia" rel="nofollow - concept album is bleaker than most of his records, incorporating negative and satirical intonations of a dystopian future. Subjects touched on include funerals, masks, and ready-to-wear and ready-to-eat things. apple-wikipedia-api://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&redirects&prop=text%7Cdisplaytitle&format=xml&page=See_You_Later&apple_local_param=21-com.apple.DictionaryApp.Wikipedia#cite_note-Reusser-4" rel="nofollow - [4] Plus Memories of Green is really beautiful and used in Blade Runner---but maybe the dystopian thing is something that fits into the current mood I'm in---living in the USA. |

Right. Some of us still do, though. CDs are absolutely a fine medium for 99% of listeners and consumers, whom usually aren't going to be nitpicking about playback rate or mix resolution, etc. Those people will probably just get the MP3 anyway and have the same audio file minus the disc. Vinyl and cassettes are equally as impractical, CD's are more practical, MP3/FLAC etc. is the most practical IMHO. With that said: Eloy - Ocean Gorguts - Pleiades' Dust Miles Davis - Agharta Demilich - Nespithe' ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

I'm 100% on Spotify Premium these days. It's close to perfect and I can download my mixes to the phone so I can play them in the car too. It's also lead me to a fair amount of new and old stuff I'd forgotten about or never knew about.....and I downloaded 666 by Aphrodites Child a few weeks ago, and that's 1/4 Vangelis

was the shockingly over compressed CD by Kansas 'the absence of presence', oh boy what a mess, it pains me to say so.

Call me crazy then, good album. Last album I bought was a download, Scherzoo - 05. Call me nuts but I still like to buy albums and support the artist. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

I must be nuts too then, because I like to buy the albums and support the artist too. I've bought around 2,400 albums on CD since I first went online in 2010.

If you don't support the artists where would you get the music? Maybe that's part of the problem nowadays for the lack of originality. It's like Amazon vs. little stores.... all the big money goes to Taylor Swift <---- one or two crappy mass produced artists only. Sponsored probably by Disney to sell theme park tickets to parents with kids. Nothing wrong with Vangelis! Received Peter Jones's Tiger Moth Tales - Cocoon yesterday from UK. I bought this as a result of watching him play the keyboards and saxophone on the last two Camel DVDs. It really is very good and does pay tribute to the great music we had in the early 70s. When I pursue a new artist I always like to buy their first cd and then if I like it move forward to buying the rest. So yes, will be buying more of Tiger Moth Tales albums. Only negative with Cocoon is I hate cd's without the plastic case, they don't stack up as well and wear much quicker. btw.. lyrics in The Merry Vicar... A wink and nod! ... very Camelesque :) please don't go there guys with another Genesis comparison... cause Cocoon ain't....it's more of everything 70s. symphonic prog.

| I thought maybe the OP, having placed this in the Prog lounge intended this topic to be specifically about Prog. I generally like to cut new members more slack and give them the benefit of the doubt (generally don't wish to put people off the forum even if I often do). It can take some time to learn to navigate the board. Welcome to the site DavidLuiz. Anyway, moved, and yes, there are other topics which cover this. |
