As an example, I have uploaded this track.....

...(actually a CD rip, selected only for its modest filesize) of the sort

thing which sounds perfectly OK from the computer setup but, even though
it
is only a 128MP3 (I'm recording at better bitrates these days) it sounds
really quite fine when burned to CDR/RW as an audio CD and played over my
audio setup proper.

I think the reason this track sounds so nice is that her voice has
been recorded straight, with no autotune turning it into a vocoder. I
suspect that this is the big difference you hear between vinyl and CD
generally - most vinyl predates that kind of messing.

It really is quite nice to hear somebody singing naturally with the
odd out-of-tune note here and there.


That's probably because AFAIK she's not a singer as such - I think she's an
actress and/or model....???


Who is it, BTW?

Regina Lund - another in a long line of the 'Scandinavian Totty' that I'm
into (I wish.... :-) atm:

- shades of Suzanne Vega there...

Funny you should say that - many such references in the review on this
excellent site (look under year 2000 near the bottom):

The album is 'Year Zero' and is excellent, if not a little 'sameyish',
throughout - nice 'presence', nice backing - not too much, just right IMO.

That track was not the best by far, if you liked that, you'll like this
better:

(Only ****e 128MP3s I'm afarid, I'll be re-ripping this at 192 or 256
sometime soon...)

And if both the tracks are dowloadable, then perhaps Pipex have stopped
truncating my webspace at 25 Mb and I'm getting the 50 Meg I'm paying
for....!!!!
