good taste tex.

It's too bad that mono in DTS is still mono .

"Duet for Vox (Fancy)" from the album "Bella Neurox" by Miss Murgatroid and Petra Haden sounds really nice on the Axioms. When I put that album in, I usually only listen to "Chill in the Air," but I tried a couple of other tracks out, and yeah, it sounds good. Overall, I still can't get into the album that much, but it has its moments.

I bought Rachel Mayfield's CD after checking out her profile on MySpace. I paid entirely too much after the horrible conversion rate from England and being gouged on shipping. It took forever to finally arrive, too. Well, it got here today, so I was happy, but then I opened the envelope and had to laugh. The cover of the CD is a normal sheet of paper, folded, and the cover image is printed with a normal inkjet printer. Needless to say, on normal paper, it looks like crap. Then I slipped the CD out, and it's a CD-R with a sticker label on it (again, really crappy inkjet). Not only that, but it's dirty and scratched. That's not too big of a deal, since I just rip CDs to my hard drive, anyway.

The good news is that she autographed it, if she ever gets big. At least, I think she did. I seriously can't tell if it's actual marker or part of the printing. I have to assume she really signed it, but it would be nice if it was more obvious.

Despite being disappointed in the quality of the packaging and media, I like her music. She's a bit soft like Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays. I'll have to see what songs ultimately stick with me, but I liked the first listen.
