What's Spinning December 2023

In Qobuz just two Stimulators albums. In Tidal nine. Just seven in the picture. In any case this Stimulators are a German band, nothing in comun with the original Stimulators punk band from New York in the seventies.

I’m glad that you’re enjoying it.
As you say, it’s a good recording…

These were the originals Stimulators

Indeed!
The German Stimulators (jazz) band are entirely different…

For those interested in piano jazz, this new DSD256 recording, Midnight Breeze, from the Estonian master, Tõnu Naissoo, is outstanding. It is a new discovery for me on NativeDSD, down-sampled to DSD128 via Roon. Tracks 3, 4 and 7 are standouts for me.
