And I think you misunderstand me, because I was replying to Vić, not you. 😛 Well he's gonna be well pissed off you got his name wrong then. "Like Otto, I missed all that at the time it was current" Up yours with knobs on.

Ah, different posts, different thoughts. Yes, you're right that I barely heard it at all when it was new; you did but didn't fully appreciate it. And I sort of agree that Gaucho is bland and over-slick, but that Can't Buy... has something that will make me play it again.
Eurostar was a mess this afternoon. Not the homeward journey I'd been looking forward to.

The more "engineered" later sound isn't to everyone's taste, and really needs to be played on decent equipment for best effect.

Yesterday's listening kit was an iPad Mini, my £50 Beyerdynamic in-ear phones, and a 320k download from Deezer. Even that gave me lots of tinkly percussion at the extremes of the stage and a good impression of the vocal harmonies. I'd have liked a little more detail in the bass, but that may be more to do with the imperfect noise sealing of the phones; curiously not as good as the apparently identical (but lost) pair that preceded them.
At home I have the Sonos Connect-Meridian-MF-Dynaudio rig, plus Deezer Elite for lossless streaming. And I'm WAH today. If it needs more than that, they really were trying too hard.

Yes. Boy2 came crashing downstairs, when I thought he'd gone to bed, to tell me about him.
Very sad - and premature. But as many of my musical icons were dead long before I was born, we can console ourselves with the thought that his work will endure. I doubt anyone will say that about the spreadsheet I'm working on this morning.
