DizRotus Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 After switching cable providers, I lost all DVR recordings. Surfing through the channels, I stumbled upon this PBS documentary. Episodes 7 & 8 were recorded. After watching/listening to those episodes, I want to listen to episodes 1 - 6 and any that follow 7 & 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Good luck. I caught a couple of them the first time around. Some nice footage and comments though. What's $100.. Ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundbreaking was discovered while searching for shows to record to have something to watch while doing the NordicTrack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 PBS has the Blue Ray of all episodes for $100. Since it's PBS you might check with the local Library... We have a lot of PBS stuff here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmjm Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 an absolutely fantastic documentary. I also had the whole series on my pvr which ended up biting the biscuit & I lost everything on the hard drive. just can’t bring myself to drop $100 on a dvd. I’ll eventually find it on upay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all over Blue Ray, just like I was with laser discs and rear projection TVs, i.e., those ships sailed without me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFi Heaven Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 What's with the horrible audio quality on the YouTube videos? They sound deliberately downgraded with bizzare artifacts like pitch-shifting, phasing anomalies, filtered bandwidth, and time compression. And yes, I have calibrated ears. That's why I own Klipsch!

If I had to mention anything...it's that its scope is a" just a wee bit narrow", especially if the advertised subject is The Cutting Edge of Recorded Music. I'd expect that sort of thing from Rolling Stone magazine of which this series strongly reminds me of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. There are some trips down memory lane, but nothing really new...or worth $22. I actually expected a much more balanced series from PBS. I think that Ken Burns would have done a better job covering the mostly historical subjects. I suppose we live in an age of "feel good nostalgia" when it comes to music.

Chris A Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I do recommend the PBS series on Amazon Prime Video called "First Peoples". There's some truly new stuff in those episodes. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The only thing I didn't like is all of the artists said everybody else was "brilliant", "Perfect", "exceptionally creative", and they used those words without exception. I guess nobody was just OK. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
