Also, i don't know if anyone else sees it the way I do, but why does Galaxie 500 sound much better with the sound turned all the way up? That album i have is only OK if it's played at a normal level.
Wandering back along Chiswick High Street after having my haircut on Thursday, I was listening to my new (but soon to be 'trusty') MiniDisc player. A few Boymerang tracks, a few Randy Crawford tracks, Hopkirk and Lee E.P. then, tada, two G500 tracks (Blue Thunder and Tell Me). And yep, I had to sate my urge to shift the volume level from 25/30 to full tilt ahoy. And I have a theory about it. Not a v. clever theory, I'll admit, but still. See, when I first listened to G500, I naturally listened at 'normal' volume levels. And fell in love with them. Having discovered that I could achieve a whole level new level of immersion by playing the tracks at parent distressing levels, however, I do find it difficult to go back to the old 'volume at half mast' scenario. And you mention 'that' album. Presumably you me 'On Fire'; Suzanne ? If not ... The main thing form me is that the end of Tell Me is still a leg wobbling, throat lumpening, mouth drying triumphant epiphany to these ears. I suspect it always will be. Especially if you ignore the health warnings. Turt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
