Your neighbors called. They like your music.
That inspires some interesting thoughts, (thanks for posting OG!) one of which is that over time our musical tastes change or evolve so to speak.
From the day i first peeled the celophane from Dire Straits first album(still in my very formative teen years), i thought the work an absolute masterpiece and to this day any extended listening session i have will usually include at least one track from that album.
Then along comes the 2nd album, Communique`. I just could not get myself wrapped around it for an embrace even close to what i felt for the first album. It wasn't a "bad" album, but it was different, more laid back, lacked the excitement and drive that budding teens thrive on.
Fast forward 30 years or so. Communique` has become a benchmark for me in any serious audition of system or gear. The musicality of the dynamics and expression on this album are to die for and should be used as a reference for producers around the globe(when talking dynamics and expression). While the overall quality of the mastering and recording are well short of excellence, they're good enough to demonstrate what these guys were capable of early on in their career.
Perhaps the biggest eye opener for me though, was realizing that a collection of vinyl that is mostly more than 30 years old contained so much of what would be "new music" to me. Talk about buying an album for one song................................ keep it long enough, and one day you might discover new music within.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
