Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage (1965)

user posted image

QUOTE:

Less overtly adventurous than its predecessor, Empyrean Isles, Maiden Voyage nevertheless finds Herbie Hancock at a creative peak. In fact, it's arguably his finest record of the '60s, reaching a perfect balance between accessible, lyrical jazz and chance-taking hard bop. By this point, the pianist had been with Miles Davis for two years, and it's clear that Miles' subdued yet challenging modal experiments had been fully integrated by Hancock. Not only that, but through Davis, Hancock became part of the exceptional rhythm section of bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams, who are both featured on Maiden Voyage, along with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and tenor saxophonist George Coleman. The quintet plays a selection of five Hancock originals, many of which are simply superb showcases for the group's provocative, unpredictable solos, tonal textures, and harmonies. While the quintet takes risks, the music is lovely and accessible, thanks to Hancock's understated, melodic compositions and the tasteful group interplay. All of the elements blend together to make Maiden Voyage a shimmering, beautiful album that captures Hancock at his finest as a leader, soloist, and composer.

what do you mean?
what's wrong?

it's ripped from the box "The Complete Blue Note Sixties Sessions" - the box contains 24bit mastered music - it's far better than unmastered, original cd release from 86... it's said in .rar file, the tunes are in right sequence since the box conains recording order (not LP-order).

meszrum, i think he ment separate tracks. It's not deadly, but still not as close to the original CD as rip to one CDImage track

Posted by: LF_ on 22-08-2004, 02:31

First of all don't take it as personal offence - it's a great release of a very good artist, it's just not right to do rips this way

There is a way to do it better - for example, it's nearly impossible to combine tracks into image that is going to be exactly the same as on original CD... That means if I burn your tracks and try to re-rip it from CDR - I'll get different image than you have on original CD... Also, I have no idea what this is

C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\Plugins\wapet.exe (User Defined Encoder) 320 kBit/s

I posted your log because I know few other maniacs who downloads only perfect rips...

what's that way?

it's also said in description of my ed2k link: [eac.ape.covers] intead of[eac.ape.cue.covers]. I used to release only CDImage things, but in this particular case it was impossible since in my country the distributor of Blue Note just do not have this CD in its catalog. I could release old BN 84195 but it was pointless due to the quality of sound (it qualifies to .mpc at the most...).

Posted by: LF_ on 22-08-2004, 02:41

Not sure what you mean - if you can rip a CD as tracks - you can rip it as image, right?

Best way is to post EAC rip log along with your release - it will be clear for everyone what to expect

I disagree that it does not matter if it tracks or image - if you spend your time on EAC releases you might as well do it right

It's important for rip quality - as well as other EAC settings such as C2 or cache settings, ASPI driver etc...

Posted by: meszrum on 22-08-2004, 02:49

mate, get my idea well... I was tryin' to release the best sound quality in this case - not the best copy. I thought that it was pointless to release some unremastered CD from '86 while I have on the shelf sweet 24bits release [I'm the audiophile]...

the second thing: did you mean my EAC is not configured well? where? if you could point it'd be great...

ok, on CD 4 of that box there are 8 tunes - 5 from the "Maiden Voyage" and 3 from other albums... what's the point to release the material that's not on the original LP?

Posted by: LF_ on 22-08-2004, 02:55

It will be the same sound if you release the best copy, you can have both

Here is the link to the best EAC tutorial http://users.pandora.be/satcp/tutorials.htm (http://users.pandora.be/satcp/tutorials.htm - with a lot of info about every option... E.g. it's better (more reliable) to disable driver's cache and rip using ASPI driver... In 99% of rips it will make no difference, but some ppl (like me) are maniacs

CODE

Read mode : Secure with NO C2, accurate stream, NO disable cache

drive's cache is disabled, isn't it?
ASPI fu**** my system last time, so I'm no the one who loves ASPI...

and once again: on CD 4 of that box there are 8 tunes - 5 from the "Maiden Voyage" and 3 from other albums... what's the point to release the material that's not on the original LP?
if I released '86 "Maiden Voyage" it would have poor sound quality, since the Box from 1999 is Rudy Van Gelder edition what means that all the tracks are remastered usin' Super Bit Mapping... what would you choose then?
