Peter Title: Re: Natalie Merchant Post by: toddn on March 30, 2018, 01:39:00 pm With being from a town 30 miles from her hometown, I’ve been listening to Natalie Merchant from her first 10,000 Maniacs Days! She has always been one of my favorites! And is always in my play list when I’ve made any change to my system. I am just so familiar with her voice, that it makes subtle changes easy to discern.
If you haven’t checked her out on Cowboy Junkies “Trinity Revisted” you should ;) Happy listening, especially on XX 2.10! Todd Title: Re: Natalie Merchant Post by: Tore on March 30, 2018, 06:39:26 pm Cowboy Junkies i like very much but i have not heard that album.
I will check it out :-) Tore Title: Re: Natalie Merchant Post by: hudesigns on March 30, 2018, 07:48:43 pm Wow I will check out Cowboy Junkies too! Thanks.
Regarding audio playback quality of NM recordings in general, I always thought her particular voice seems to have a subtle hard glossy edge to it from time to time. With a lesser quality playback, her voice can get relentless. When her singing is fully resolved in playback (like MQA decoded properly), it just shines. It is especially so, when an incredible variety of instrumentations intertwine with the vocal. Zheng |
