Title: Best tunes / albums you've heard to date in your Mk6
Post by: MAW73 on 12 August 2010, 14:20
Best tunes / albums you've heard to date in your Mk6 to date......

To kick this off I would probably say the 'David Guetta - One Love' album (some great tunes on this album and it sounded absolutely amazing on the RNS510, the clarity was superb)

"Warning" be careful with your replies.... you could show your age  :grin:

30 secs to Mars (and I'm not talking about using my launch control!!)
Plan B
The Dark Knight Soundtrack (if you drive a black GTI like me there's nothing like some dark music and pretending to be Batman on the way to work)

That reminds me.  I must purchase the outfit...

LOL I will have to listen to a preview of that in itunes.... well if you want to be Batman, you will also need Robin by your side i.e. the little gay guy in tights (and I'm not offering by the way)  :grin:

I've been hooked on Moon Safari by Air lately. Listening to it almost every time I drive the car.
Driving through city streets at night, got the dash lit up, got the funky blue centre console, got the footwell light, it's just a very tranquil place to be.

Strangely I've not felt the need to pump out the rocker tunes much.

When driving through' Loch Lomond' and past 'The Rest And Be Thankful' on the drive to the Isle Of Bute you take in some real class B-roads which in the most part are quiet. The drive I take takes around 2.5 hours. Open the sunroof, turn up the Dynaudio system. iPod music is down loaded in uncompressed format so here is my current playlist which will change every time I make this drive
Generals and Majors - XTC
OMD - Electricity
Blonde - Atomic
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper
The Doobie Brothers -Listen To The Music
Belamy Brothers - Let Your Love Flow
The Knack - My Sharona
Robert Plant - Big Log
Gorillz - On Melancholy Hill
The National - Sorrow
Lcd Soundsystem - Dance Yourself Clean
Hot Chip - Hand Me Down Your Love
The Black Keys - Everlasting Light
The Shines - Phantom Limb
Bi8ffy Clyro - Bubbles
Foals - Total Life Forever
Kelis - 22d Centuary
Joshua Radin - Brand New Day
Wilco - One Wing

I must be an old git or our music tastes differ greatly, as I've not heard of half of those tbo.

p.s. Loch Lomond's a great place by the way. I've been there a couple of times whilst visting relatives in Bishopbriggs. I've not had the pleasure of driving through there in my GTI though unfortunatly.

I'm OK down to Gorillaz, after that forget it. I couldn't list my favourites as I have a very wide taste and would not know where to stop, would always think I'd left something out.

I find most of them are so badly recorded that you could simply not use them as a reference to assess tonality, staging and imaging quality.

Snoops, do you mean CD's are badly recorded or music on other media? Or do you mean the way the music is recorded in the studio is poor regardless of media?

Classical music - brilliant - very relaxing on my frustrating drive to work, although local youths look at me disappointingly as I guess they expect BOOM BOOM BOOM

well there's always a time for that!

I reckon there's strong evidence of a correlation between the speed of music and increased speed in a GTI...

...or is that just me?
