I never heard of these guys. How is the recording you mentioned (AMG has no samples)? The oldest pans stuff I've heard so far, is one track from Jaco Pastorius' 1974 demo recording with Othello Molineaux on steel pans.
There's no significance. I have a 1974 recording, probably falling into the Jazz category, that has steel pans. Just curious if anybody used steel pans in this genre before.
Vitous can be seen and heard playing upright and electric in 1971:
"Waterfall"
Beat-Club
Bremen, Germany
aired: August 9, 1971
Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Alphonse Mouzon, Miroslav Vitous, Dom Um Romao on perc.
The copies behave like any other CD-Rs or non-copy protected CDs. I'm in the mood to buy a copy protected CD today - any recommendations?
Edit: it seems we meant something different re "error correction."
Ahhh, less air. Unless one can prove, that one actually notices differences (blind A/B test), I don't buy into these "less air" stories.
I did hear differences on high-end systems.
Did you do a listening test? How was it set up? Something like the PC ABX listening test?
What's the problem with those copy protected Blue Notes - sound quality? My girlfriend bought a couple of those copy protected BNs last weekend which she made dubs of for her car.
