Bonnie and Taylor Sims Levelland

The video seems to end at 8:45 but continues until 15:59.

[@volpedo2000]

It’s the DSD part of the video. You need a special YT player to decode it. 😉

At 3:00 'that term' is "visceral" and that same word came to my mind as I listened to the Levelland samples at Octave Records.

[@Paulmcgowanpsaudio]

Yes, I think that's a great word and a perfect term. Thank you.

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗👏👏👏THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY AND WE HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH SUCCESS WITH OCTAVE RECORDS HELP 😍😍😍

Sat through two commercials for that.

[@guywilloughby5443]

Good video. That's the important thing for me is to feel the emotion. May work well for your products including the speaker line.

[@dougg1075]

Cool

[@ThinkingBetter]

This video made me listen to decades ago music by Bonnie Tylor. There is so much awesome music produced by great artists in the past that we tend to forget and even it's not entirely in audiophile quality, what matters is how it makes you feel. Bonne and Taylor in DSD vs. Bonnie Tylor on a 40 year old vinyl disc...I am afraid I'll enjoy the latter more. But perhaps that's just me.

[@keithbertschin1213]

100% I love Paul McGowan and what he stands for but having listened to a few Octave artist previews, it’s a little meh. An artist needs to do it for me on an AM radio before I care too much for the audiophile quality.

[@ThinkingBetter]

@@keithbertschin1213 That is an excellent way to say it 👍

[@keithbertschin1213]

@@ThinkingBetter thank you. It’s not saying these artists aren’t talented the same as X factor contestants have talent but do they offer anything new that’s not boiler plate. To me, no. My search for new music isn’t a search for the new Bonnie Tyler, it’s a search for something unique. We have Bonnie Tyler!

PS Audio has the blackest backgrounds ever 😀

*LOL* I got fooled. I thought it was about/with "You-Know-Who".

[@AllboroLCD]

Octave should actively scout the current music-scape for new/emerging artists to invite for DSD recording. Perhaps even hire someone just for that very task. Recording artists with some buzz already around them will be sure to help spread the gospel of DSD.... and sell some records of course! ; )

[@willleavitt7156]

Like Tedeshi Trucks band.

[@Paulmcgowanpsaudio]

I couldn't agree more but that's not an easy task. Over time we will head in that direction but for now, we have already a line up of wonderful artists I can't wait to share with you.

[@AllboroLCD]

@@Paulmcgowanpsaudio Baby steps sir, baby steps.. As I mentioned, DSD was robbed of its glory from the get go. It should absolutely be the standard for ALL recording, ESPECIALLY in 2021!

[@octaverecordsanddsdstudios1285]

I feel electronic music would defintely expand Octave in infinite ways , especially in the acoustic realm. Use electronic music in the same acoustical setups, develop something fresh besides singer-songwriting. I'm not saying to leave it out, just change it to ...fresh. Hell..if somebody can re-invent synthesis, it's you guys. Just saying....

[@volpedo2000]

I agree too often audiophile labels seem to pigeonhole themselves in jazz, classical, or singer-songwriters.

[@FOH3663]

Wow, great suggestion. An electronic artist... taking a Donald Fagan type approach, pristine, fastidious. Whereas every electronic element is optimized, noise floor maintained, ideal gain staging, crafting the maximal dynamic envelope while carefully, deliberately, pursuing a finished piece of art that possesses modern electronic aesthetic, yet with an eye on audiophile sensibilities. There's an example of this I often point out to others in reggae. Various sub genres of reggae utilize a dirty/lo-fi sound quite effectively. On the flip side is my example; Slippin' Into Darkness, by Black Uruhu. This track is a stunner.... I liken it to as if Donald Fagan produced, and engineered a Black Uhuru Reggae release. It's certainly a reference track of mine.

[@stickspinner]

Wow what great talent! Any chance you need a low-volume acoustic drummer? Good luck to you guys

[@zeusapollo8688]

Do they exist in reality?

[@googoo-gjoob]

@@zeusapollo8688 hehehe

[@stickspinner]

Yes they do, I am one in BOULDER with a specialized acoustic drum set for low volume situation I would be perfect for you and my skill level is right there

[@digggerrjones7345]

It's Bonnie & the Clydes, minus the rest of the 'Clydes'.

[@Paulmcgowanpsaudio]

Bingo! That's correct.

[@stonefree1911]

A little more music would have been nice..

[@MufasaRizz]

She aint no Alexis Cole.

[@googoo-gjoob]

did nuthin for me...

[@editorjuno]

Competent, but pretty generic AFAICT. I suspect the album title came from an terrific song by their fellow Texan and genius tunesmith James McMurtry -- and, lucky for me, he's coming here to Asheville next with the great BettySoo opening for him. Speaking of Asheville, the real "Music City USA" -- the one that hasn't been severely polluted by decades of commercialism -- that's where any startup label should be scouting for talent, not Boulder!

[@hoobsgroove]

why would you want to hear anybody's breath that's not natural sounding like sitting on the edge of the stage listening to them you want to be in the 4th of 5th row ummm. put a pop filter in that keeps them away from mic 5" where do you send it for mastering? shouldn't be done in-house. a engineer is not a master engineer and they should never be one of the same you'll never get it right!!
