Tread lightly on the things of earth

Zemo provides links to, and commentary on, some extraordinary music in a thread at Fix-it.org, How to really listen to music (dated July 15, 2004).

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Grab the best headphones you’ve got and check out these MP3 samples. May you get as big a happy smile on your face as I do. (Heads up: big MP3 files, average size 6MB.)

This thread introduced me to Chesky Records, an audiophile label from whose catalog most of these sample tracks come. I just ordered several audiophile-quality CDs from Chesky, which I’ll aim to comment on here. (Chesky has a 25% off holiday special going on through December 31, 2004.)

Thanks, Zemo!
