A good album is a good album Geoff and will always be played. I do try not to flog a thing to death though.Taximan431 wrote:hi guys just wondering how often would you play a disc after buying it ... like would it become a lesser play or does it still have that special appeal even after weeks of play...![]()

Encore has stood the test of time for me even though I've played it so much over the decades and I still enjoy it as much as I used to , if not more than I used to. I think the fact that I play it so often proves how much I like it, not that it is the best album for everyone but because it is the best for me. I rarely play Ricochet because it is not the best for me.24db wrote:if I play a record 60 times, then another 120 times, does it mean the second is twice as good? of course not, these comparisons are daft (IMHO)..they're the logic of radio playlists...more is better. I only play Ricochet 3 or 4 times a year, but it's still better than 99.9% of all rest in my opinion (I've probably played MFD over 50 times).
I would agree that you can play stuff too much, a bit like eating your favourite food twice a day for 19 years...after a while no matter how good it starts to bore you.

I've done the same with Stratosfear, Phaedra and Encore.epsilon75 wrote:I must have played Rubycon 100s and 100s of times since i first heard it in 1979.........i find it impossible to get tired of it,its far too intersting for that
I dig the Tangents boxset, especially for White Eagle and the Hyperborea tracks.nightmare strand wrote:Rubycon does it for me in the long term satisfaction stakes. I was lucky
enough to get my hands on the enhanced SACD version and the clarity just adds another dimension to what is already a true musical event.
Have to say that despite some apathy amongst some fans for tangentising, Edgars re-interpretations of the Tangram pieces were a masterstroke and like Rubycon, I never seem to tire of them.
'hells bells' I've got to agree, 'for me' the White Eagle remixes are better than the originalsDesert_Voyager wrote:I dig the Tangents boxset, especially for White Eagle and the Hyperborea tracks.nightmare strand wrote:Rubycon does it for me in the long term satisfaction stakes. I was lucky

and I love the symphonic sounds throughout Mojave Plan and No Man's Land, the rapid sequence of the track White Eagle and the heavy beat of Hyperborea.24db wrote:'hells bells' I've got to agree, 'for me' the White Eagle remixes are better than the originalsDesert_Voyager wrote:I dig the Tangents boxset, especially for White Eagle and the Hyperborea tracks.nightmare strand wrote:Rubycon does it for me in the long term satisfaction stakes.
