What do you think of Hyperion's Hamelin's sound?  I love his playing but I find a lot of the solo piano recordings sound either vieled, laid back, I don't know how to describe it, sounds very toned down, like it's being recording in a big space, even his studio stuff.  Even on his music that is supposed to be percussive it's not percussive at all.  This in my mind is not a positive, I'm not saying he has a mellow tone, I think it's the recording/mastering took all the bite out of the piano.  I don't know anything about recording/mastering, I may be describing it inaccurately, but for example if you hear a Richter's Phillips authorized recordings, prokofiev, beethoven, it sounds like the opposite, maybe too harsh, but I kind of prefer that sound, sounds a bit more real.  I'm not talking about their difference of tone or piano either, anyone else hear this?

A lot of Hamelin's Hyperion recordings have been recorded at Henry Wood Hall in southeast London, which is big enough to fit a regulation basketball court.  I don't find the sound problematic.

I am looking forward to TOOL's new album, it was supposed to be released by the end of 2014, but I am hoping it is released in 2015. It should be, but knowing TOOL, ya never know.  :)p2

Ah that would explain the spaciousness.  It's not problematic, I just prefer a bit more bite to piano sound.

Whatever Infected Mushroom is working on... nothing has been announced yet but a new album every 2 years seems about normal.

Oooohhhhh.  Two tantalizing classical releases scheduled for March.

(1) Hyperion will have a recording by Stephen Isserlis of the Prokofiev and Shostakovich cello concertos.   :)p1

(2) A recording of Arvo Pärt choral music by The Tallis Scholars.   :)p7

Led Zeppelin announce 40th anniversary remaster of Physical Graffiti

From the Guardian...

"The Led Zeppelin reissue programme continues next month with an anniversary special – the new edition of Physical Graffiti arrives on 23 February, almost exactly 40 years after the album was first released – on 24 February 1975.

As with the first five albums in the Zeppelin reissue series, Physical Graffiti will be available in assorted formats of varying deluxeness, from a remastered version of the original album on two CDs at the bottom end, through to a super deluxe box containing the original album and a companion disc on both CD and vinyl, plus a hardback book, download card, and art print.

Fans’s interest will once again be centred on the unreleased tracks on the companion disc. This time they are:

Brandy & Coke (Trampled Under Foot – initial rough mix)
Sick Again (early version)
In My Time of Dying (initial rough mix)
Houses of the Holy (rough mix with overdubs)
Everybody Makes It Through (In the Light early version/in transit)
Boogie With Stu (Sunset Sound mix)
Driving Through Kashmir (Kashmir rough orchestra mix)

Everybody Makes It Through is described as “strikingly different” to the finished version of In the Light.

Physical Graffiti was a huge hit, going platinum 16 times over in the US, and is widely regarded as one of Zeppelin’s greatest albums for its variety of moods and styles, from the Eastern tinged epic rock of Kashmir, through the blues of In My Time of Dying, to the heavy funk-rock of Trampled Underfoot. On its release, Rolling Stone said the album “only confirms Led Zepplin’s preeminence among hard rockers”, though the magazine’s reviewer claimed Kashmir and In My Time of Dying – two of the group’s best-loved songs – “succumb to monotony”."

New Aphex Twin EP coming this month:

Syro was more conventional by AFX's standards, but judging from the title this will be a bit more experimental.
