Finally seen the light, I've opened my eyes...
Finally seen the light, I've opened my eyes...
- Brad Delp 1951-2007
Boston - Third Stage
1986
My First CD purchase back in 1990 $18.99 at Tape World.
Why did i choose this as my first CD, this is one of my all time favorite albums, musically and sonically. Bought it on tape when it first came out in 1986 and just wore it out. Just a great album, i know it's not for everyone, but it does it for me. If i had to choose 10 albums to keep and throw the rest out this one would be on my list.
Here is a great review on the album, and if you have a chance have a listen. "overlooked masterpiece"
"It took nearly six years to conceive and complete this album. No orchestral instruments or synthesizers were used to create the sounds. Each individual piece of music relates to a human experience. And together they tell the story of a journey into life's Third Stage."

ikyaudio in Deutschland
for you that can't read German here it is loosely translated:The Hometrainer of Mr. Spock
That roars!
Who would have thought that: PVC, which delivers material, from which the pipes under our wash basins are, at the same time an excellent ochestra. Presupposed, one installs three inch a large loudspeaker to an end and the other one forms to a sturdy status foot. This Sea Cucumber Speaker baptized Stereo loudspeaker comes out. The name is English for sea-cucumber, and looks at themselves one the snow-white boxes once, can one it understands why the doers of ikyaudio this names selected. Since each of the pairs of loudspeakers becomes hand-made, the Sea Cucumber Speaker costs extravagante 155 euros.

Time Out of Mind
One of my all-time favorites, takes you to a dark cold place, but once there you'll never want to leave.It’s too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there"
- Not Dark Yet
"The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skiesI’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door"
- Tryin' to Get to Heaven
give it a listen, even if you don't like Dylan

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=248-460not the nicest looking amp, but for the price it can't be beat, sure you can find cheaper 2-channel mini amps on ebay, but you never know what your getting, plus they all sound terrible. This little thing is perfect for your computer or ipod. I use it at work and it's just awesome, small enough to put anywhere and just enough power for office listening.
Soon i will be working on my own version of this and some powered speakers as well.
i will keep you posted, sorry for the messy desk
thrillist - chicago nice!!!
