I didn't start out this thread to knock CD's or digital format music.
All I can say is sitting down with several LP's, the tracks of which
I'm very familar with on CD's, I heard details, ambience, harmonics,
silky smooth sounds and power, I never heard on the CD versions.
Three examples:
Beatles - Fool on the Hill. Night and day difference. The LP version
conveys far more emotion and feeling (only way I can describe it).
Beatles - Revolution. I never even really noticed the drums before.
They're like a locomotive chugging away in the background, really
powerful, pulling the rest of the song along with it. And the raw
guitar riffs, wow.
Nat King Cole - Route 66. The little details, the leading and
trailing pieces of words and phrases. In some cases I think even his
breathing.
The sound is so good the occasional dust click or pop fades into the
background.
It makes want to say "Shame on the music industry". I'm sure there
was a conspiracy to rob our ears and souls of good music, simply to
make a few billion bucks on CD's. ;-)
But CDs are dying already! Now it's all MP3s.
