Wanted to start the fight back against the desk shaming photos many post up here with their pristine uncluttered work surfaces. Here's a real desk! My desk! A working desk! :D :D :D :D

Nice. I remember a couple of years ago I started cleaning my desk daily and slowly started to get minimalist with it. But my desk used to be more cluttered before. Now I just have a spiral notebook, a highlighter and a nice pen. Should go all digital but I’m old school.

Any recommendations for female vocals? I'm kinda running blind to what to look for. And I'm kinda bored of Adele's songs (been at them for a long long time already), no offence to the fans...
For female vocals you should definitely try Madeleine Peyroux. Especially album: The Blue Moon. Marvelous recording.

ps. Also try: Use me by Vanessa Fernandez, but also other albums from her.

Thanks so much for the recommendations. Always great to discover new stuffs.

Also yeah, I would be even happier if the recordings are of great quality because the more I listened to Adele's stuffs, the more I realized how some of them are botched by very poor mastering/mixing/recording and it's really doing my gears a disservice, as well as a disservice to Adele herself...

Yup, unfortunately that what is happening with music produced for 'masses'. Many times it's poorly mastered. And beautiful voice of singer is just ruined :frowning2:

Albums from Vanessa and Madeleine are top notch productions.

Actually album Use Me was recorded by legendary Bernie Grundman, whole recording session was made using tapes and old mastering techniques (as I remember correctly).

ps. track Here But I'm gone from album Use Me always gives me goosebumps and I'mean like... for real.

OK just listening to the Bird on The Wire from The Blue Room. Now that's some chilling vocals. Magnificent recording too, great share, man.

Good spot! The 2nd pair used to live with my main hi-fi until I replaced them. Now they just live on the desk until I find a better place for them!

Emmylou Harris. Lot's of releases. Love Wrecking Ball. Daniel Lanois produces and plays. The Live Spyboy has some killer dynamics along w/her.

Listen to this, it's fantastic.
I’m struggling to find Crazy by Daniela Andrade on Qobuz. I think it is on Covers, Vol 2 which I am also struggling to find on Qobuz. Am I being thick (easy) or is it not there?

This track (Crazy) featured in a recent show I was watching (was it Umbrella Academy? Sandman?) but I also couldn't find it on any lossless streamers that I have access to. Would love to find it somewhere, if available...
