"Don't Give Up" - with Kate Bush

This is a standout track.

A wonderful duet from two powerful voices - Kate of course is stellar.

Listen to the bass solo and the low notes from the synthesizer. Since the lowest note on a normally-tuned electric bass guitar is E1 at 41.2 Hz, you are not digging into the realms of subsonic - and there's little real music there. 16Hz pipe or 8Hz cannon shots be damned - that's not bass we care about.

If your system doesn't nail the bass guitar solo on this record, don't blame the recording.

16 Golden Greats (CD, SACD) was recognized by most as the poorest recording of the bunch. But you had "So" on SACD. That's a good one.

Still, you are so biased against challenging rock music such as Mr. Gabriel makes that I don't trust your comments on the sonics. The fact that, of all the songs on "Shaking the Tree", you liked "Shock the Monkey" - the most lightweight of all the numbers, says volumes.


Regards,
Geoff
