In Reply to: Does any of the Nickle Creek or other Sugar Hill bluegrass SACDs have percussion, I prefer my posted by Teresa on June 28, 2003 at 22:12:54:
Oh my, I actually own a recording without percussion, is the world ending? Actually not one of my favorite recordings. I got it because it was a Sheffield Lab Direct To Disc LP and it was cheap and tonight was my second listen, I guess I thought it had percussion as on some songs the Banjo sounds more like a percussive instrument than a string instrument (fast "muted" chords, I've done it on Guitar myself, just hold the strings only half way down with the left hand and make drumming sounds "fast rhythmic strumming" with the right). Not to stray too far of the subject but I also make drumming sounds on my Guitar by tapping the body near the sound hole with two finger.I was going to quit impulse buying now that I have 2 formats, I guess that won't happen! Even without percussion I may keep Confederation (I'll have to listen a few more times). I haven't bought very many SACDs lately but I need to warn everyone about ROGERS WATERS: THE WALL - Live in Berlin (the music is terrible, It sounds all wrong I guess it's all these famous guest artists) and the sound is BAD. For music from the Wall "In The Flesh: Live" on Sony SACD is still tops.
Happy Listening,
Teresa
