Hey Randy, Welcome back from the shadows. :) You said, >>>>>>>>>> I just wonder what it would have sounded like with a different collaborator, maybe Phillip Glass or ??? >>>>>>>>>>
Here's a preview of first 5 second of Phillip Glass'es arrangements of three Joni tracks: Track 1: " do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do (Repeat for 4:15)" Track 2: " do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do (Repeat for 6:10) " On Track 3 he pulls out ALL of the stops: "do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do beep do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do do-do- doo-do (Repeat for 8:52)" I tell ya, that Glass is a wacky guy. He's the audio equivalent of David Lynch. Can you imagine those two working together? <shudder> That "Strange Boy" quote was a very clever way to make your point although I think almost everyone missed it. On another topic, I need your advice on vinyl. I'm thinking of buying a used VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine. Is the latest thinking that machines still make sense or, as Stereophile seems to suggest, just replacing my Discwasher brush with a Disc Doctor brush is the thing to do. What do you think? Lama
