I have watched their covers before. Pretty good. I really enjoyed the violin opening on the first vid.
Great Floyd cover there!

Listening to The Heavy reminded me of another old favourite of mine, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. I LOVED the album, Tell âEmWhat Your Name Is!, from 2009.
Today I ended up buying their follow up album, Scandalous (deluxe version) from 2011. A little milder than the the previous album, but still lots of head bobbinâ going on.

This oneâs so good I had to cross post from Head-Fi:
Iâve got the DCA Expanse driven by the GS-X Mini with the Gustard R26 decoding all the bits and pieces from my laptop/Qobuz.
Iâve been on a bit of a Billy Cobham streak lately and tonight/this morning (1AM) Iâve got a 1996 album featuring Cobham, jazz guitarist Bill Blickford, and Wolfgang Schmid on bass entitled Paradox. This is a damn good fusion album with incredible playing from all three musicians. Cobham lays down some ridiculous solos at various points on the recording. I could listen to this album on repeat and catch something new everytime. That said, itâs also fairly approachable and easy to listen to for your average music buff. I canât recommend this one any more highly!

Good choice, Shane! You know, that would make a great thread to start. What was the first album you ever bought? What do you think, yâall?

What might be even more interesting would be:
- What was the first album that you ever bought for yourself?
And - What was the last album you bought for yourself?
For me, it started with Machine Head. My ânewestâ buy was Scandalous by Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears (2011). But the day before that I pre-ordered the new album Amen by The Heavy, releasing this Friday.
Kind of cool to see where our musical journey has taken us.

I think that is a great idea. I just went through the entire Music Talk area as I didnât want to create a duplicate thread, and nothing was found. So I will give it a go!

This morning I have the modded Letshuoer S12s in, being driven by the Cayin N8ii as I kit it laid back and low key.
I mentioned Return to Forever on here the other day when @Ohmboy mentioned their drummer Lenny White. Well, that led me to put a collection of Return to Forever live tracks released in 2012, entitled The Mothership Returns, in my queue for later listening when the time was right. Well, that time is now!
Side note on the S12s: When you push the pinna gain region up just a little bit to get rid of the shout, bring the treble down ever so slightly to reign in a little excess brightness, and tune the bass to your liking these things really become monsters. Retuning the top end in the ways mentioned really reveals a whole lot of underlying low level detail that can get lost when things get to shouty or bright. The dynamics pick up significantly and feeding them with a little extra juice is rewarded with a clean and balanced overall signature that is both very detailed and very non-fatiguing at the same time. If youâre willing to spend 30 minutes modding the S12s, theyâre one of the best deals in audio, IMO, capable of performing with sets that are much more expensive. Thatâs what starting with a quality driver and a simple design does for you!
