Sorry Im preaching here but its a subject I feel and understand, and many times saddens me you see most of the music I love is now being played in elevators and even thats changing.
Oh well, I guess Im just venting.

IMHO, John C.


Although I was never a Bob Dylan fan and still aren't I share your opinion that more and more of the music I enjoy most is being played in elevators.

If your music is played in elevators it means that you've made it. Muzak is a multi-billion dollar business.

I find the following reply rather interesting especially since to me a record has that "something"special a digital recording doesn't have. Perhaps it's just nostalgia but, and I think I speak for others, just buying a record was an event.

""You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them," he added. "There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like ... static."

Maybe Dylan is over-stating his point, but there is some truth to what he says in my opinion.

I find with modern recordings, that the soundstage is so locked into a central window that you don't get the raw feel that used to come when stereo was in its infancy. Maybe a lot of members here don't recall that far back, but I sure do. Perhaps stereo recording was a novelty that the recording engineers were experimenting with, but it just sounded more real 'back in the day'. Offtimes they use to direct specific instruments to a left speaker and another to the right and leave it locked there for the whole song. Yeah, you could localize the speaker, but it just seemed more real than this "definition of nothing" that Dylan speaks of......

Any thoughts?
