I understand "buying the March", it's the "taking someone at their would" that lost me

I don't agree with questioning it out in the open like he did, but hey, like I said earlier, it doesn't really matter

Agreed.

And Gary, I'm with you 100% - just in a silly mood this morning and felt like rib jabbing you. I realize that was a serious post, sorry for making light of the spell-check thing... but you gotta admit, there are some funny "corrections" going on there

I would very much like to put this behind us too. Thanks guys! 

I have no idea what you are talking about "buying March" is a perfectly cromulant phrase.

Yeah, I did that post on my phone before leaving for work this morning. For some reason the "ottokorrekt" (auto-correct) function does not work worth beans when I am posting on a message board (it works fine in e-mail, texting, and facebook though...go figure). I would have just waited until I was sitting at my CPU at work, but wanted to get it said before we started going at each other like a buch of 14 year olds at the CMR or Firestream (oops did I say that part out loud).
 

I have the same issue with autocrap when i am posting to CHM with my cell.

How long does it usually take for shipping from Retrospect?  I've only ordered from them twice before and have forgotten.

I don't remember the exact time, but it always seemed like it was pretty prompt.

just to beat the dead horse I would like to put in my two cents... I think that FoJ was treated with entirely too much animosity for what was said... ... and I agree with him in principle but also with the rest of what was said.

Covering all your bases, unworthy?  


My biggest issue was that this is NOT the section of the forum dedicated to theology. I purposely don't go into theology sections on other forums or into The Word section here. When I want that kind of input, I will seek out people I know and trust personally in my day to day life. So I really don't want it following me into a thread dedicated to music, especially when done by someone who I have no idea who he is and they have no idea who I am, other than just a user name in a forum. Talk about a good way of offending someone.

This is a music thread, if someone wants to make a  religious statement, they should post it in The Word section or use private message.

Just like I don't want to hear opinions about Bride's religious views in a music thread, I really don't want to hear people's views about copyright laws vs the Bible in a music thread either.


and you are right..it is beating the dead horse

alldat, can you PLEASE add that to the forum's Emoticons...that is awesome!!!

I actually liked the one with the lego storm troopers better.

I finally got my order from Retrospect.  The sound quality on some of these are pretty bad as whoever produced these did not try to remaster at all.  These CDs are burned discs even though the packaging looks pretty good. But, it will be great to have some of these titles on more than just a CD-R that's been transferred from cassette.

See..I never had any issues with the sound. There are some that sound like they are right from the cassette though. But like you said, the packaging looks pretty good and it is nice to have them this way versus a cdr I make myself.

Let me know how the Follower is

As for shipping, I think 12 days to have an order arrive is pretty quick.

The guy who runs Retrospect, BTW, also runs the Rocklahoma event

That's the issue--I have a CD-R of Dual Edge that I took straight from cassette.  I borrowed the tape from Pastor Bob Beeman and transferred it to CD-R for both of us.  The CD I bought sounds EXACTLY like my CD-R copy.  They could have used even the most basic audio cleaning program and made this sound better.  When I ripped these to MP3 (not quite done yet), I normalized the tracks and even those sound better than the CD.  I may run all of this through my Audio Cleaning Lab software that I haven't used in years.

While you can tell that this was taken from a cassette recording, this is a solid release.  If you are into bands like early Liason, Idle Cure, or Chase, then this is good melodic rock.  The background vocals are tight, and the rhythm section knows how to play to the song and stay tight.  Seeing that I had never heard this band before, I am extremely glad to have this in the coolection.

I am listening now to Angel X.  This is another one I am glad to have in the coolection.  After the normalization during ripping, both the Follower and Angel X sound better.

Thanks..I will have to get the Follower. I LOOOVE the Angel X cd. 

BTW...was that a typo or did you do that on purpose? Cause Coolection is a great way to refer to a cd collection..

I would also recommend that Refugee - Life Goes On.  Good stuff!  I have the real CD from the band.

And, yes, my CD collection is a COOLECTION.  It's cool 'cause its mine! 

I've listened to a song of Dual Edge, sounds good.

DON'T order the Dual Edge from Retrospect.  The original source that they used for the CD is so bad that it is almost unlistenable.  Find someone with a cleaner source if you want this.  I used to have a CD-R of it but cannot find it anymore.

Really? I got mine from there and am quite happy with it.

There is a lot of screetching in the background that almost sounds like the cassette was bad or that the cassette player was having issues that this was recorded from.  It's very bad.

Maybe you should write them..mine was fine. Maybe it is just a bad disc?
