Cream - Born Under A Bad Sign, from the upcoming super deluxe âWheels of Fireâ edition (phase corrected & remastered with remarkable results). Qobuz 16/44.1
âThe 5CD super deluxe edition features a 2026 remaster and a previously unreleased phase-corrected version of the entire album. The latter version was achieved by using software to reverse the Haeco-CSG effect originally applied to the album. This was a 1960s audio processing technique intended to make stereo recordings compatible with mono turntables but had a side-effect of âblurringâ the stereo imaging.â
Les Kapsberâgirls

Preferred track:
3. Amor mio, facciam la pace
Willing to hear some classical baroque and crystalline voices this morning, I was looking for the first album of the Kapsberâgirls in my NAS.
After Roon quickly found the band, I hit the discography button, just to check they still havenât released anything new since 2021.
To my surprise they did!
I totally missed this release from 2025, moreover on a Label I quite like!
Didnât even listen to it via streaming but directly bought it on Qobuz, transferred it to the NAS, and here I am: enjoying!

Kid Loco
Blues Project

Yellow Productions - 1996
24/44.1 - DR: 11dB
First LP from Kid Loco released in 1996.
His masterpiece to me remains âKill Your Darlingsâ released 5 years later.
(although this record is quite hated by the electro community has too âPopâ and falsy âArtyâ)
But this short (30mn) disc is very interesting for all the seeds it plantsâŠ

I confess I purchased this â30th Anniversary Remasterâ due to lazyness: I saw it as recent release on Qobuz although I know I have the original CD Boxset from the late 90s somewhereâŠ
It was part of the few CDs I havenât ripped in the 2010s before I stored them all.
As I didnât want to spend my weekend âputting the house upside-downâ looking for it, a few clicks on Qobuz and here you go! âŠ
Will have to get my ears on that.
I thought I would share some discoveries from my recent China trip.
The first was a track Bob McConnell of Transparent Cable introduced me to. It is a fantastic demonstration of the full gamut, both tonally and dynamically, of a symphony orchestra. Excellent recording. The track he used was no.4, âAborada del gracisoso. Assez vif.â Bonus point for the female conductor!
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra âą JoAnn Falletta âThe French in Spainâ 2025, Qobuz 16/44.1
This one is from Richcomâs demo playlist. A fantastic recording starring one of my absolutely favourite pianists, Martha Argerich. As usual, Martha reminds us that the piano is a percussion instrument!
Martha Argerich âą Alexandre Rabinovitch âMozart: Sonatas for Two Pianos and Piano Four-Handsâ 1994, Qobuz 16/44.1
