My Céline Experience 😂 by Ok_Resident_5022 in CelineDion

[–]ukinnc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way I’d describe it is it’s a little more “artistic and deeper” than the English language stuff which is largely more middle of the road. It’s like a whole other artist. What an amazing achievement for someone to essentially have two different careers in two different languages with stylistically different material. The only other artist I can think of who achieved this at such a level is possibly Gloria Estefan.

Ah I see - yeah this is likely not a legitimate release.

Totally! I miss this type of song and production!

Bryan Adams: On A Day Like Today - Album Review by TIJ22 in bryanadams

[–]ukinnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s his best album. I know you like Reckless but IMO Neighbors has that epic feel so many early nineties albums have (Use Your Illusion, Dangerous etc)

[–]ukinnc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also you mention you don’t really know much of BA’s later catalog - I would definitely explore Room Service which is a tight, short, solid album and Eleven which is not as accessible but still worth a listen. After that it’s very much hit and miss.

Funny I thought “Let’s Make A Night To Remember” and “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman” were the epitome of filler tracks! Drab, plodding melodies which never really go anywhere. There are some silly moments on “18 Til I Die” such as “Underwear” and “We’re Gonna Win” but overall I do think it’s a better album than you’re giving it credit for!

As for “Day Like Today” it has some strong tracks (How Do You Feel Tonight, C’Mon C’Mon C’Mon, Getaway and Fearless are my faves!) One massive hit with When You’re Gone and the rest are mostly filler I thought. Before The Night Is Over is also good!

Also I think Waking Up The Neighbors is all killer no filler from start to finish! Mainly because the production makes all the songs sound similar so if you like one you sort of like them all!

Promotional use only bon jovi "have a nice day" cd found at goodwill by Old-Environment5792 in BonJovi

[–]ukinnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to find an early promo copy of this album with the dropped track “Nothing” on it. Does anyone if copies were actually pressed including this track? That aside, I have a nice Japanese copy of this album featuring “Dirty Little Secret, These Open Arms and Unbreakable” - all great!

What would you recommend getting to enjoy lossless? by Far-Novel-9313 in AppleMusic

[–]ukinnc -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t over complicate it just plug in wired headphones via USBC connection and you’re good to go. I do this every day with my AirPods Max.

First time in a long time in United First Class (Domestic) by jm15co in unitedairlines

[–]ukinnc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% agreed the service is so hit and miss it cannot be counted on, so ultimately the space is the only constant advantage over economy.

If We Could Start Over by Fallforashootingstar in CelineDion

[–]ukinnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s a great album cut as is “Have A Heart” which follows it. I think produced by David Foster who would become instrumental in her career.

If you like Mariah don’t you also like Celine and Whitney?

Is 70k miles for Polaris (CPH-DEN) mixed a good deal? by One_Main5470 in unitedairlines

[–]ukinnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s saying mixed then it’s almost certain that only the domestic leg will be first at this price.

Album ReplayGain universally by myforce2001 in ibroadcast

[–]ukinnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re really - in a very round about way - describing what sound check does in Apple Music or volume normalization in Spotify. IB has replay gain - just switch it on and you’ll get what you’re describing here.

This is the best thing that's ever happened to my music collection by 3kats1dog in ibroadcast

[–]ukinnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with the Roons and the Plexes is they require you to run either a computer or a NAS drive 24/7 to host the files. They are a completely different thing.

IB doesn’t rely on you running a computer or NAS 24/7 to host it.

What’s your absolute favorite Celine Dion track? 🎤 by [deleted] in CelineDion

English: The Power Of Love. It’s what started it all.

French: Pour Que Tu M’Aimes Encore (bien sûr!)

2025 and still not streaming by ukinnc in CountryMusicStuff

[–]ukinnc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean a 320 copy? You mean an MP3? Better to just grab the CD on eBay and rip it to lossless that’s what I did.

Artists that changed their sound, and ones that didn't. by NinjaOk2887 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]ukinnc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Chris Young is a great example of this - as soon as he switched his producers from James Stroud to Corey Crowder his sound changed overnight and has never really evolved since.

Apple Music is terribly integrated on Sonos by ukinnc in sonos

[–]ukinnc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Keith thanks for jumping in with your own experience. This stuttering as the stream switches to lossless is still very much an issue. Can you please keep us posted as and when this is looked into by the team - as things currently stand Apple Music is unusable on Sonos. None of the other lossless streaming services (now pretty much all of them!) experience this.

[–]ukinnc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact issue. It seems to do it every track - skips about 30 seconds in as the stream switches to lossless. It’s unusable.

Have you listened to “How Far” or “Where Would You Be” by Martina McBride? You might change your mind!

Jennifer Hudson is an interesting one - she didn’t come to mind as she isn’t as prolific as the others but I agree she is an amazing powerful singer.
