Living With War
I just found this over at Donewaitinghttp://www.donewaiting.com/">Donewaiting; and want to share it with you. Let's listen together.
Loaded with Delicacy and Detail: The Fi 46 Monoblock
Don Garber's Fi 46 monoblocks, in "test mule" form.
Location over Emotion
Alan is very laid-back. I almost typed "laid-baked," which would be an equally appropriate description. It seems to me that this laid-backness, not to mention laid-bakedness, is a fine quality in a bass player.
Loctite Red
VMAX Services' Richard Kohlruss followed-up with some">http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/072806sleek/">some information on Tangent Audio. Here's how the CD-100 looks on the inside.
Long Live High-End Audio
While we contemplate high-end audio’s long, slow, and stinking death, Magico, manufacturer of high-performance, high-priced loudspeakers, is in the mainstream press: USA Today ran an article earlier this week, which asked, “How much would you pay to bring music to life?”
Looking Forward to Replica
Oneohtrix Point Never is young electronic composer Daniel Lopatin. His critically acclaimed Returnal shook my listening room walls, clattered around in my mind, and stirred my soul. While more lighthearted recent collaborations with Joel Ford (first under the guise of “Games” and later simply as “Ford and Lopatin”) haven’t reached the same emotional depths, news of Lopatin’s upcoming album, Replica, is intriguing.

Looking Forward: Carla Bozulich’s Boy
Carla Bozulich’s new album, Boy, will be released by the great Constellation Records on March 4th. Though Bozulich may be best known for her work with The Geraldine Fibbers, or the darker, more experimental material of her Evangelista moniker, Boy will be the third full-length album released under her own name. As such, one might expect to hear a more personal, honest, and bare representation of the artist’s sound and vision; interestingly, Boy is being promoted as Bozulich’s “pop record.”
Looking Forward: Cat Power's Sun
Yes, yes, yes!
Sun, Cat Power’s first album of original material since 2006’s The Greatest, will be released by Matador Records on September 4th. September 4th is going to be an awesome day.
