Hi all, I wanted to start a discussion about current (or at least semi-current) artists that are releasing ‘audiophile’ recordings in an attempt to discover some new music that I may be missing out on. I have been stuck in a rut listening to the same old things (mostly jazz). It occurred to me this sub is mostly about the gear, room treatments, and those types of things but I don’t see a lot about the music we all listen to or discussions about new artists. I was watching a ‘New Record Day’ video the other day and he mentioned an artist Dominique Fils-Aime so I checked her out and I’m really digging her vocal/upright bass stuff. How do you all find new artists to listen to? What new stuff have you been listening to that you think this sub should know about? Lastly, should we have a weekly new music thread where we discuss new music that was released or discovered the previous week? I’d love to see more content on this sub about the music/artists we all love. Thanks,
Problem for me is I’m a classic rock/rock guy and there are many old bands - Beatles, Rush, Pink Floyd, etc. that have been remastered that sound great. However, I’d love to hear hi-res recordings from newer bands but they don’t exist (Muse, Coldplay, etc). I’m anxiously awaiting Def Leppard’s Diamond Star Halos on BluRay ATMOS in January. Some country like Chris Stapleton would be awesome but that’s a genre that has like no interest in producing hi-rez apparently. Oddly, I see a bunch of hi-rez & ATMOS music on Amazon music but no discs to buy…which sound much, much better BTW. 😡
The marketing guy for B&W in my area used to play Madness by Muse. That and Panic Station both sound great.
