Readme Audiophile & Vinyl LoversVinyl lovers
In my blog you will find many treasures either from my collection or from various good will contributors. Here you'll get rare and highly sought vinyls in high quality (16 bit/44 KHz), we enjoy rescuing many albums that marked us in the past and are currently irreplaceable.
Audiophiles
As I said before, I only post in this section for vinyls. I don't pretend to compete with the music industry, as there are already great technologies around, such as Blue-Ray DVD, Mobile-Fidelity, SACD, Studio Master, etc. I'm very picky about good sound, but if there is one of these technologies already available, I step aside and let the stage to expert audio engineers and their proven products. In my posts you will find my rips in the format: Single FLAC + Vinyl LOG + CUE file
Images and Album art (for everybody)
This is a very sensitive issue for me, as I think that album art is as important as the audio itself. In this issue, I try very hard to compete with the industry that actually killed the wonderful vinyl album art. In my opinion, not even audiophile reissues have managed to overcome the old and incredible vinyl album art. In my posts, you'll find 100% high quality album art, with all the extra material that CD and DVD formats have deprived us: gatefold covers, inserts, booklets and labels, all scanned at real size (1:1) and 300 dpi. For this purpose I use scanned images and not photographs due to the latter poor visual results: brightness and image distortion, color range changes. Additionally, I design CD front and back covers trying to maintain the original vinyl art concept.

Amantes de los vinilos y melómanos.
En mi blog se van a encontrar con muchos tesoros de mi propiedad y varios contribuyentes de buena voluntad. Vinilos raros y muy buscados en formato de excelente calidad para vinilo (16bit/44khz), nos entretenemos en rescatar infinidad de música que nos marcó un día y que es irremplazable.
Audiófilos
Como dije antes, publico en esta la única sección para "Vinilos". No pretendo competir con la industria discográfica, en que ya existe la gran tecnología DVD Blue-Ray, Mobile-Fidelity, SACD, Studio Master, etc. Soy muy exigente con el buen sonido; pero, cuando ya existen estas tecnologías me hago a un lado y dejo a los expertos ingenieros en sonido con sus ya probados productos. En mis publicaciones se van a encontrar con el modo de FLAC único + LOG de vinilo + CUE.
Imagen y carátulas (a todos)
Este es un tema muy sensible para mí: la imagen es tanto o más importante que el audio, y aquí sí compito con la industria que mató el arte de los vinilos: las maravillosas carátulas. Ni siquiera las reediciones para audiófilos han logrado superar a los antiguos vinilos y su increíble arte.
Con certeza digo que aquí en mis publicaciones, si encontrarás un 100% de calidad visual y con todo el material extra que nos privó la industria del CD o DVD (carátulas dobles, insertos, libretos y etiquetas, todas a tamaño real 1:1 en 300dpi). Para esto utilizo un escáner y no cámara fotográfica (por los pobres resultados visuales: brillos, deformación de imagen y cambio en el colorido). Además de rediseñar carátulas tamaño CD manteniendo su diseño de LP original.

| “ | I heard Ralph Towner to Oregon for the first time; I always liked Oregon and Towner was an essential member. Now, Towner when he entered the ECM label, without losing its sensitivity and cost me quite neatly digest (not easy). This album "Blue Sun" say it is one of the friendliest, is notable because Towner plays all the instruments! I also know who sings (not bad), in that historic record of Paul Winter's "Icarus" (if still alive, you may be published before year-end).
And if I may suggest to listen to Towner's sensitivity in the following parts:
- The Prince And The Sage
- Mevlana Etude
- Rumours Of Rain

A Ralph Towner lo escuché en Oregon por primera vez; siempre me gustó Oregon y Towner fue uno de los miembros imprescindibles. Ahora, Towner cuando ingresó a la etiqueta ECM, sin perder su sensibilidad y pulcritud me ha costado bastante digerirlo (no es fácil). Este álbum "Blue Sun" diría que es uno de los más amigables, es notable porque Towner ¡toca todos los instrumentos! También me consta que canta (nada de mal), en aquel histórico registro de Paul Winter "Icarus" (si seguimos vivos, es posible que lo publique antes de fin de año).
Y si me permiten sugerir escuchen a Towner y su sensibilidad en las siguientes piezas:
- The Prince And The Sage
- Mevlana Etude
- Rumours Of Rain

Arend, indeed, it is of the most atmospheric Towner's work, a little hint of that soundtrack.
