Picked up the new Van Morrison "Duets" cd.
I thought that this may have been a mistake as everyone and their brother is doing something similar but.....
This one is for the collection.
IMHO very well done.
How does it sound?...is it compressed...I've been thinking about getting it...
I will find out for you, once I run a DR Value on the mp3, and report back shortly.

Thanks:bounce17
Not a big Van Morrison fan but I purchased this just so I could test it for you.

well...I can't say I'm surprised by those numbers...that's the "new way" of mastering...doesn't mean it sounds bad..BUT for a guy like me it's probably not going to be a purchase UNLESS someone tells me it's one of those exceptions to the rule and doesn't sound compressed...
Since you were so kind in buying that just for me:ebay...maybe you could sample this one too
I'm not going to go that far...LOL!
I was curious to hear this one anyway. I may not be a fan of his but I have been curious about this one. It's not like I don't like him at all because I do have "His Band and the Street Choir" and like it a lot.

Do you have Moondance?
No. I didn't like that one. Well, to be fair, I never really listened to it straight through. Only heard song samples when it was re-released not too long ago, like recently?

It's an incredible disc...hard to believe you don't like it...
Did you wanna buy it for me?
Of course I do...pm me your address...
Get out of town!!! :slap:
I'm serious bro...:walker
Are you the Brother I never had? LOL
No, I really can't. I would feel so bad that you're spending your hard earned money on me and what if I don't like it?
My address is.....:teleport:
