I’m glad you managed to get these gems and enjoy them! Regarding your questions, please check your email.

cheers,

Thanks for sharing! After reading your blog, I’ve managed to get 10 CDs of Epoca de Oro (unfortunately Vol.11 is not available) and some A.M.P. collections through Yamano Music. They are pure gems! As for CTA, Mr. Baba says he only has 14 titles in his inventory. Wonder if you know of some specialty stores in Tokyo that still carry CTA CDs, being new or used.

Love to read your tango thoughts, inspirational and knowledgeable.

All the best,

Thank you for sharing this. It explains why sometimes I feel many D’arienzo songs are ‘similar’ but in fact they are the results from over filtering. The ones closer to the ‘original’ have colors and are like pictures in 3D… the over filtering ones are like pictures in black and white and they are in 2D. Now I am very eager to get my hands on those Japanese CD’s!

No, I didn’t try to correct them. First I’m not good on sound editing, and second I’m lazy. But when I listen to them, I always adjust the sound with equalizer in itunes (treble reducer). For most cases, that’s good enough for DJ or listening.

did you try correcting the Homage tracks? I assumed the sharpness was due to aggressive filtering/processing, would be interesting to know if it could be fixed that easily. I have been reluctant to stretch songs myself, as I generally don’t know the correct length of songs.
