Pat Metheny Group – The Falcon And The Snowman (1985) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

The Falcon and the Snowman is an album of original music for the soundtrack of the Orion Pictures film of the same title, composed by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays.
The music is performed by the Pat Metheny Group with occasional orchestrations for strings. The exceptions are a male chorus featuring a young alto which bookends the album and “This Is Not America,” a collaboration with David Bowie, credited as producer and co-composer, who performs lyrics for an arrangement of the theme heard in the track “Chris.”
This beautiful soundtrack album is a great example of their musical creativity. Mastered by Bob Ludwig (great sound!). Enjoy this vinyl version!

Patrick O’Hearn – Rivers Gonna Rise (1988) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Remarkable atmosferic and melodious music with Jazz and New Age influences..

“Rivers Gonna Rise” is a very nice album; the music is very accessable and energetic. The soundquality of this album is outstanding. It has an open, wide and deep soundstage (deeeeep…Bass) such as you do not hear often. Listen for yourself…

Kate & Anna McGarrigle – Kate & Anna McGarrigle (1975) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Kate (February 6, 1946 – January 18, 2010) and Anna (1944) McGarrigle were a pair of Canadian singer-songwriters from Quebec, who performed as a duo until Kate McGarrigle’s death on January 18, 2010.
Kate and Anna McGarrigle is the self-titled 1975 debut album by Kate and Anna McGarrigle. A gem of an album where the two sisters give away unique and beautiful vocal harmonies; this is a varied album, with entertaining folk songs and touching ballads. I was very happy to find a few weeks ago a n.m. copy of Kate & Anna McGarrigle’s debut album which replaces my very old copy.. Kate died January 18, 2010 at the age of 63 year. She has left behind beautiful memories… Enjoy this impressive album and great recording!

Francoise Hardy – Sings In English (1966) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Francoise Hardy – Sings In English (1966) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Usually thought of as a middle-of-the-road popular singer, Françoise Hardy — at the beginning of her career, at least — covered more stylistic ground and owed more debts to pop/rock than she’s given credit for. Immensely popular in her native France, the chanteuse first displayed her breathy, measured vocals in the early and mid-’60s. Her (mostly self-penned) recordings from that era draw from French pop traditions, lightweight ’50s teen idol rock, girl groups, and sultry jazz and blues — sometimes in the same song. The material is perhaps too unreservedly sentimental for some (in the French tradition), but the songs are invariably catchy and the production, arrangements, and near-operatic backup harmonies excellent, at times almost Spector-esque. Fans of Marianne Faithfull’s mid-’60s work can find something of a French equivalent here, though Hardy’s material was stronger and her delivery more confident. Richie Unterberger, AllMusic.

Track listing:
01. This Little Heart
02. All Over The World
03. However Much
04. It’s Getting Late
05. Only Friends
06. Say It Now
07. Just Call And I’ll Be There
08. The Rose
09. Only You Can Do It
10. It’s My Heart
11. Another Place
12. Autumn Rendezvous
Arranged by Charles Blackwell
Note: there is a little groove wear distortion towards the end of side one.

Easy Rider – Soundtrack (1969) (First US Pressing) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Easy Rider – Soundtrack (1969) (First US Pressing) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Easy Rider is the soundtrack to the cult classic 1969 film Easy Rider, a film often remembered for its epic late 1960′s rock music. The album was released by ABC-Dunhill Records in August 1969 (catalog no. DSX 50063), and was a strong success along with the film, peaking at #6 on the Billboard album charts in September of that year.
The songs on the soundtrack album are sequenced in the same order as they appear in the film, with the following differences:
“The Weight”, as originally recorded by The Band for their 1968 debut album Music From Big Pink, was used in the film but could not be licensed for the soundtrack. To deal with this, ABC-Dunhill commissioned Smith, who recorded for the label at the time, to record a cover version of the song for the soundtrack album.
Two songs used in the film, Little Eva’s “Let’s Turkey Trot” and The Electric Flag’s “Flash, Bam, Pow”, were omitted from the soundtrack album.
Distribution of the album transferred from the ABC-Dunhill label to Warner Bros. Records’ Reprise Records subsidiary (catalog no. MS 2026) in 1970, and Reprise published the album through much of the 1970′s. The album is currently published by the Universal Music Group, of which ABC-Dunhill is a legacy imprint.

The Flower Pot Men – Midsummer Dreaming (2001) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Because they looked more like TV repairmen than weavers of Technicolor dreams, Ken Lewis and John Carter never received the acclaim they deserved. Dismissed as a cash-in team, mainly because of their summer of ’67 hit “Let’s Go To San Francisco’, their brand of cleverly-arranged close harmony pop was the nearest thing this country had to the Beach Boys or the Association. Highlights include the full-length version of San Fran and its follow-up, “A Walk In The Sky’, and the eight-minute “Children Of Tomorrow’, with its let’s-all-link-hands-and-save-the-world coda. Best of all, though, is “Blow Away’, a note-perfect Byrds pastiche. (Mojo)

Iggy And The Stooges – Raw Power (1973) (2012 Legacy Vinyl Reissue, 1997 Iggy remix) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

In 1972, the Stooges were near the point of collapse when David Bowie’s management team, MainMan, took a chance on the band at Bowie’s behest. By this point, guitarist Ron Asheton and bassist Dave Alexander had been edged out of the picture, and James Williamson had signed on as Iggy’s new guitar mangler; Asheton rejoined the band shortly before recording commenced on Raw Power, but was forced to play second fiddle to Williamson as bassist. By most accounts, tensions were high during the recording of Raw Power, and the album sounds like the work of a band on its last legs — though rather than grinding to a halt, Iggy & the Stooges appeared ready to explode like an ammunition dump.

2001 A Space Odyssey – Soundtrack (1968) (First US Pressing) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

Music plays a crucial part in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and not only because of the relatively sparse dialogue. From very early on in production, Kubrick decided that he wanted the film to be a primarily non-verbal experience, one that did not rely on the traditional techniques of narrative cinema, and in which music would play a vital role in evoking particular moods. About half the music in the film appears either before the first line of dialogue or after the final line. Almost no music is heard during any scenes with dialogue.

Lightninin’ Hopkins – Lightnin’ (1961) (Analogue Productions 45rpm 2xLP-Set) (24-Bit/96 Khz + 16-Bit/44.1Khz) (Definitive Master Vinyl Rip)

“Lightnin’ is among the rewarding acoustic dates Lightnin’ Hopkins delivered in the early ’60s. The session has an informal, relaxed quality, and this approach serves a 48-year-old Hopkins impressively well on both originals like ‘Thinkin’ ‘Bout an Old Friend’ and the familiar ‘Katie Mae’ and enjoyable interpretations of Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee’s ‘Back to New Orleans’ and Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup’s ‘Mean Old Frisco.’ Hopkins‘ only accompaniment consists of bassist Leonard Gaskin and drummer Belton Evans, both of whom play in an understated fashion and do their part to make this intimate setting successful. From the remorseful ‘Come Back Baby’ to more lighthearted, fun numbers like ‘You Better Watch Yourself’ and ‘Automobile Blues,’ Lightnin’ is a lot like being in a small club withHopkins as he shares his experiences, insights and humor with you.” – All Music Guide

David Sylvian – Gone To Earth (1986) (Double LP) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)

David Sylvian is a brilliant rock & roll guitarist and vocalist. He is also a great electronic minimalist. Sadly, he tries hard to do both together. Gone to Earth has moments of brilliant instrumental ambience with deep samples and misplaced vocals. The instrumental virtuosity grabs listeners immediately. Sylvian surrounds himself with some of the greats — Bill Nelson, Robert Fripp, and Mel Collins among them. The sound is dynamic and gentle at the same time.
