Most metalheads only care about pre-1994 Mayhem.
This thread is life!
I'm sorry. Absolutely the worst album I own.
Trying something I've never listened to. Hell, never even heard of!
The Baker Gurvitz Army - 1975
Somewhere between A and Z I'll assume.I have one classical recording, so I file it alphabetically.
Its funny, I am not an anal retentive kind of person but I can't function with my music disorganized. I already spend to much time deciding on something, finding it and cueing it up. I also do the same thing as you, new arrivals are quarantined until I sort through them and identify keepers. From there they go in the trade bait rack or into the general collection which I don't segregate by genre. That last part may change out of necessity soon. I don't have the largest collection but even at 2500-3000 LPs I cant imagine them not being alphabetized at least by first letter and artist inside that letter, which is as obsessive as I care to be.
Hey Fuzzy, What's up? Any decision on the cartridge? Just checking. My Grado offer stands. Let me know when able.
I tried obsessing. It ain't fun. So I find something that looks playable, which doesn't take much digging due to the amount I have on my PC, and crack another beer. Silence is the only thing I dread, and there's no need for that.
When I got back from my northern prison stint, I was surrounded by music and found I'd lost my mojo. I sat in silence, not even wanting to fire anything up. My rock favourites left me cold, ditto my classics. I didn't want to hear anything. I couldn't imagine wanting to hear anything. I distinctly remember posting those feelings at the time. I had to ease myself back in. I didn't even turn my amplifier on for a week after getting home.
Now I'm back to my normal standards of constant sounds, and can't imagine going through that spell, even though I remember it well.
I used to play their stuff during my night clerk shift at the graduate dorm. People who heard it described them as "Industrial" music....Think I've heard their stuff. Sounds familiar
His Planets (Holst) is very good.I love everything I've ever heard from Isao Tomita. This is no exception. Someday I'll find his take on Pictures At An Exhibition...can't wait to hear what he does with Mussorgsky's A Night On Bare Mountain.
You completely forget what you were listening to with Tomita. He breaks it down like a jazz artist, but in a spacey, trippy inter-planetary way.

I'm sorry. Absolutely the worst album I own.
I thought it was older than that! I saw it in Berkeley in the 70s.Jeez I'm gettig old. IFC is showing "Dazed And Confused" tonight. That movie is 25 years old now!
I am having decision angst. I want another Denon but don't want to spend that kind of cash. the Nagaoka sounds like the right choice and the Grado seems like the sleeper to me. I really appreciate the offer and probably should take you up on it. I just hate putting my Buds out about something I can just resolve myself. I ain't sayin no to your offer, but I almost ordered all 3 of those carts at separate time in the last couple days. I need to get off my ass and make a decision, or get more info by taking you up on your generous offer. Thank you again btw.
Normally an intervention stops people from obsessive behavior. On this thread it is quite the opposite. Next time PM me or we will have to strap you down and force feed you music until you come to your senses...
Cheers Gents
You might want to try Tim Weisberg if you like that. 4, if you can find it, or Listen to the City, or Dreamspeaker recommended.
I like all of his works, even the Live release(s). 'Snowflakes' is my favorite.His Planets (Holst) is very good.
The only problem I have with it is the head shell is shorter than the aftermarket one's. I have to angle the cart to get proper alignment. Keeps me from going down the cart collecting rabbit hole. Lol
I do have an Orbit on the way. I will give this to my Dad as long as I like the Orbit. I'm a K.I.S.S kinda guy.
