Ce sont ces petits riens
Qui me venaient de vous
Les voulez-vous ?
Tenez ! Que voulez-vous ?
Moi je ne veux pour rien
Au monde plus rien de vous
Pour être à vous
Faut être à moitié fou

Nice "Those Little Things" ! C'est chanson magnifique!

hi all,
anybody familiar with rock corner label cd? yesterday i went to rock corner s.parade n they're promoting one new album call "rock corner wow jazz". hows the quality of this label is it worth buying or stick to premium record?

by **auronthas** on Wed May 27, 2009 7:14 pm

Hi mustafa,

I noticed too that rock corner promoting their new new jazz collection CD (dual-disc), not too sure about their remastering quality (unless they remastered from the original disc or LP which is extremely expensive). Since i have most of the songs from the original CDs, ABC records, Premium, i have no intention to buy this album.

Perhaps other forumers who own this CD can spare us their view.

Cheers,

Auronthas

I am thinking of getting one or two CDs at this year's KLIAV show.
Just to have a try. There were lots of China pressed Hi Fi CDs last year.

My uncle bought 2 and lent me.
One of them is very good indeed but the other is not that good.

Hope that I am lucky and can get a nice one..

Wah Tycham,
Vous parlez francaise hmm?
Les chansons francaise sont quelque fois bizarre, quleque fois magnifique non?
J'ai beaucoup des cds francaise chez moi comme de Francis Cabrel que j'aime beaucoup.

by tycham on Fri Jun 26, 2009 8:43 pm

Bonjour!
Non je ne suis pas, mais mon ordinateur ne.
La seule chanson française drôle que j'ai jamais entendu parler de la Mer a été chanté par Mr Bean.

Je vois que vous êtes un amateur de Francis Cabrel.

Apprécier!

Singing in French, Portuguese, and English, the full, clear, fine grained voice of Ms Alysson combined with the excellent accompaniment really shine in this 'light-footed" repertoire.

Which makes it more French than anything else.

My favorite is Track 5. even though her rendition of it had not achieved a sense of loss and desperation as was intended, the attempt is still emotionally charged. Gil did better here with the 'wailing' of his accordian.

Bought two audiophile CDs recently, i believe they are newly released in our local market, namely The Absolute Sound TAS 2008 and Red Hot Audiophile 2009.

IMO, quality of recording/remastering of these CDs are superb and nice collection, especially the former, Classical, Jazz, Folks, Easy Listening.

A few recommended tracks are such as

a) Paganini Violin Concerto No. 4 in D Minor - lively, instruments are clearly separated/defined, dynamic

b) Lynn Hillary 's Melody of Life - currently one of the members of Celtic Woman - sweet, lovely voice and nice tunes

c) Desperado by Malene Mortensen

Attached images showing the song titles. Enjoy the music.

i have search through cd shops in penang but couldnt find it. guess have to go to kl for it. thanks for d info. any idea where to get the older tas (96-01)? i have collected 2003 to 2007.

by BrAvO on Mon Oct 05, 2009 9:15 pm

I have seen a number of TAS in CMY, Sungai Wang Plaza. This is the only place I go for Audiophile CD. Selection is good! Highly recommended.

by cmboy on Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:43 am

I just hauled in 2 nice CD's over the week end.

1. Cai Qin (Tsai Chin) Lao Ge WEA Japan gold cd. I believe this is the next best thing to the Sanyo issue which cost a bomb.
2. Telarc Round Up - Hybrid SACD

Lets see how the Round Up fares against my early pressing of the same title. I can only compare the Red book layer as I don't have a SACD player.

Update:
The Telarc Round up SACD WAS SUPERB!... I can't complain. Telarc lived up to it on this edition. I can only imagine how good it'll be on multi channel surround.
