JohnJ Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's still nice to hear an old album and realize just how well the Forte III makes it sound. Different from a lot of what I've been listening to lately, more mature maybe, a very good musician.

JohnJ Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This guy was played a lot on the Sunday night WBCY Jazz Flavors for about a decade. Nice fusion with synthesizer, electric violin, bass, guitar & percussion. Jean-Luc Ponty: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Billy Joel is an artist that isn't normally on my radar, but when I start listening to his music, I never regret it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Jim Stafford had so much fun, like he just sat on his back porch and played for everyone all the time. He reminds me of Ray Stevens, both did some silliness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this was the ninth studio album by the group, it was only the second since the group went on an extended hiatus nearly a decade earlier. Musically, Long Distance Voyagerbalances itself by employing some of the dreamy, intelligent songs for which the group is best known, as well some modern beat-driven pop tracks. In 1974, after seven albums in seven years and several world tours, the Moody Blues commenced an extended break. Some songs were composed for a near future group album, but these were instead to become Blue Jays, a duo album by guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward and bassist/vocalist John Lodge. Other group members also released solo albums through the mid 1970s before the group finally reunited to record the 1978 album Octave. This would be the final album to involve keyboardist Mike Pinder. Pinder was replaced by Patrick Moraz, previously with the group Yes, which prompted Pinder to file a lawsuit to prevent a new Moody Blues album from reaching the public without his contributions. Ultimately, the lawsuit was unsuccessful and the Pip Williamsproduced Long Distance Voyager was released in May 1981 and was the first release in a decade and a half not to be produced by Tony Clarke, who had worked on every Moody Blues album since 1967’s Days of Future Passed. This album is also notable as the sole one recorded at the band’s own Threshold Studios, which was custom-designed for the band by Decca Records but disbanded shortly after Decca’s sale to Polygram. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks again. Yes, I was able to compare the Marantz phono stage along side my beloved Cambridge Audio stand alone unit... The Cambridge had a pretty HOT midrange and a rather 'light' low end response much to my surprise , and the Marantz? Smoother, less 'in your face' midrange, and a more pronounced low frequency response! Both had about the same high end however... So, I am very pleased that an AVR would have something that sounded so smooth built right in ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
