Title: What music have you bought recently?
Post by: Petrie. on September 22, 2007, 10:33:31 PM: Even internet purchases (ie itunes) count. So what has earned your hard-earned dollar?

Edit by Mumbling: updated title for clarity.

Post by: NewOrder on October 14, 2007, 01:30:41 PM: I haven't bought anything lately, been sort of short on cash since I had to replace the breaks on my car \:

I'm looking for a Doors LP though. My dad just turned 50, and he's quite a big fan. I wasn't able to buy it for his birthday, but I intend to give it to him any time soon. The one I'm looking for is the one with Jim Morrison's poems.

Title: What have you bought recently?
Post by: Petrie. on November 04, 2007, 11:01:50 AM: Three more:

Cars Soundtrack (from the Pixar film)
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

First couple of listens I'm mostly disappointed with the Harry Potter one. John Williams didn't really but a strong theme to build around in this album, so nothing seems connected. That's unusual for him. The first, second, and last tracks are good.

Very good but has horrible framerate in some areas.

Oh, and Viva Pinata, which I regret to say, is not what I thought it'd be like... Oh well, I still love Rare.

Post by: action9000 on November 17, 2007, 09:33:17 PM: I just picked up the new Nightwish CD today, "Dark Passion Play". Some great tracks if you like rock. One track is a staggering 13:53 long. :o

I also picked up the new Sonata Arctica CD, "Unia". This is kind of an odd one. The first 5 or 6 tracks aren't anything special but it gets better. :)

Post by: Petrie. on January 02, 2008, 10:05:19 PM: It was starting to get a little messy with cds I've purchased over time just kind of stacked up helter skelter, so I reorganized all my cds (grouped by genre) and discovered I have no really good way to store 124 audio cds. :P: Biggest waste of a half hour. I think I need another one of those really big cd stands.

Post by: Stitch on January 03, 2008, 12:29:30 AM: The newest one that I just added to my collection is the Disney's Animal Kingdom Soundtrack.
Title: What have you bought recently?
Post by: Petrie. on January 28, 2008, 09:22:34 AM: More stuff I've added lately:

Michael Crawford - The Disney Album
Shania Twain - Shania Twain (her debut album before she made it big)
MGM Studio Orchestra - The Wizard of Oz Deluxe Edition Soundtrack
Jerry Goldsmith - Mulan Soundtrack
Andrew Sachs - The Mistmantle Chronicles Book 1: Urchin of the Riding Stars (audio book)

I've still at least $30 left over in amazon gift certificates. :)
Title: What have you bought recently?
Post by: NeptuneNavigator2001 on April 29, 2008, 12:17:18 AM: Hmm, do used LPs count? I've bought quite a few of those... A couple Miles Davis albums, "B****es Brew" and "You're Under Arrest," Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "So Far," and, uhh... Hmm... Even so, that was a while ago... Got lots of 'em from when I was a kid, good thing I've got a record player that plays them at the EXACT speed...! As far as CDs go, among the lot, a few are:
"Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits," "Journey's Greatest Hits" (I actually have TWO of these; the original version, and this is the reissue with a bonus track.), a double-disc Nat King Cole compilation, and a double-disc Smooth Jazz compilation. Think I bought more than that, but I can't remember now... Oh yeah, and a Classic Rock compilation.

EDIT: Seeing as how I'm brokeback poor most of the time, I only really see money twice a year: Xmases (which I don't celebrate much anymore due to a change in my beliefs, yet, gifts are, well, fine; if someone wants to give me a gift, it's always welcome; yet, it is more blessed to give then to receive), and my birthday. Which IS coming up in about a week and a half...

Post by: NeptuneNavigator2001 on April 29, 2008, 03:33:22 AM: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'd bought a few more LPs than that: "In the Groove with the Kings of Swing," a six-LP "Swing" boxset; "The Longines Symphonette Goes Pops," an eight-LP Classical set, with all popular, short selections; hmm, and a couople more Classical LPs - one of them a Mozart. Hmm, there's a few more though... One at at time, I'm "ripping" them to my third computer, and encoding them to FLAC.

Post by: Lillefot on April 29, 2008, 06:28:34 AM: What I've bought recently?
Last week I bought a new MP3 player for 998 SEK = 162,95 USD.
I regreted it imidiatly, the player was dumb! :angry:
Even more bad, I had wasted that money on it!

So, I put in an advertisement on the player, hoping to sell it.
It worked, I sold it for 900 SEK!
Afterwards, I went to town and bought a Samsung P2 for 1299 SEK = 212,10 USD.
Now I'm happy about, I love Samsung's "gadgets!" :^.^: I'll stick to it.
The sound's awsome, and now I'll rip some music from my CDs.
Also bought a bike-computer for my cousin's birthday! :^.^:

This topic is for discussing new music/audio purchases (CDs, etc.), not just any purchase in general.
No worries though, except for where it's posted, it's not exactly obvious. :p

Yes, however, this topic is under the "Sound Off!" thread which is music. So if you link the music thread and this topic together, you get a="What have you bought recently?" thread.

Post by: Allicloud on March 02, 2011, 12:07:28 PM: Just bought Stand Up And Fight by Turisas, their first new album since 2006. And boy have they changed:

1. New costumes (less fur, more leather)
2. New musician (replaced the accordianist with a girl, who is really good and is a decent singer too)
3. Used a REAL brass and strings section, as opposed to keyboards
4. Almost completely power metal, with a few hints of viking metal, and 1 folk-metal song (all about hunting pirates)

Long story short, it is awesome. Nygard's voice is amazing as usual, from his screeching growls, to his operatic melodies, and the choral bits are just chillingly good.

Post by: Pterano on August 29, 2011, 01:08:27 PM: I've basically completed my Beach Boys collection by getting the last of the albums I didn't have, including everything post Pet Sounds (I own all the albums before Pet Sounds). I just need the Party album, but I'm in no rush for that. So I'm feeling pretty accomplished now that my collection is complete from Surfin' Safari to their self titled "The Beach Boys" album (Still Cruisin' was after they broke up as a touring group so... yeah). :DD So my purchases basically include:

Smiley Smile
Wild Honey
Friends
20/20
Sunflower
Surf's Up
Carl and the Passions
Holland
15 Big Ones
Love You
M.I.U
L.A. Light
Keepin' the Summer Alive
The Beach Boys

Yeah... I'm feelin' pretty good about these right now, and each have such a unique sound to them and unique themes, which is another reason why I really like this band. :p

Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on March 21, 2012, 10:38:35 AM: Vanessa Carlton's "Be Not Nobody" and Sheryl Crow's "Tuesday Night Music Club"---both at a fantastic price. The latter is such a great album, you simply must get it!! :exactly

Oh, I also like Rush, too, NaNaNa. I love their song "Time Stand Still". :smile I might get an album of theirs next time.

I'd also consider getting the Land Before Time soundtrack by James Horner. That'd make for some great music to listen to on a long car ride through the mountains.
