[atlantaprog] Re: Vapor Trails

Aahhh-hhemmm, might I remind you.
Permanent Waves 1980
Moving Pictures 1981
Power Windows 1985
Moving Pictures would sit up in one of my favorite recordings of all 
time category.
Now, while I do like a lot of the "Nu sounding" bands, Tool, Disturbed, 
System of a Down,
but Vapor Trails I can't even fit into this category, great songs but 
terrible sound.
Its the frying eggs on a hot griddle sound that I hear, there is digital 
clipping through out
the recording, there is whole sections of the wav. file squared off flat 
and distorted.
Now everyone's perception might be a bite different because of the 
equipment that
they may be listening through. I have Class A audiophile quality 
equipment, i.e. stereos, that
I listen through with lots of definition.
Now you might have to be more specific in your 1980's comment about 
Vapor Trails
sounding better, there may be one or two CD's but the whole of 1980's, 
well we are talking
about Rush, possibly the BEST BAND EVER!
Of course that is my humble opinion. ;-)
