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.

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

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?
