Steve Tibbetts - Northern Song - 1982 (24/96 Vinyl Rip)

This more 'reflective' Tibbetts album is really fascinating and a masterpiece of subtlety..this album is a pleasure to hear!
"Norhthern Song" is a great Tibbetts album (one of his highlights) with an excellent recording quality. Enjoy this very special album; a tip for those who want to listen this album is, that the "high resolution" version is highly recommended because of the many subtle sounds that come much better with the 24 Bit version.. Play this music with dimmed light for an optimal listening experience... Thanks to "Anonymous" that sent the album.

Note > No silence was deleted; please burn this album gapless..

Review:

I've been listening to 'Northern Song' for more than twenty years, and never tire of it. Capable of pyrotechnics, here Tibbets is superbly restrained. Just six and twelve-string guitar, kalimba, some subtle tape effects and percussion (courtesy of Marc Anderson). As with all ECM recordings, the sound is deep and lush. My favourite "chill out" album - if that's not damning with faint praise. "Northern Song" is an automatic pick for my all-time top ten, along with 'Kind of Blue', 'Astral Weeks', 'Hejira', Bill Evans recordings at the Village Vanguard and the Allman Brothers 'Live at the Fillmore'. Not for everyone, but for mine it's a timeless gem of a record.
