Listening to NEWS on headphones is a whole different experience...

I'm hearing nuances I haven't heard before. This is a great album - a little esoteric for me at first, but I knew it would grow on me and it has. I've been listening to it a lot over the last few months, and I think it's a great choice for the Grammies. Of course, I think TRC would have been too.

If you haven't heard it on headphones yet, do it!

This goes without saying. Everything sounds better in headphones!! Ever notice what happens when you yawn while listening to headphones??

I agree. Albums like this take awhile to grow on me. But they always sound better without any other nois or distraction.

Exactly, if any single one, The Rainbow Children would have
been a perfect contender for any award out there in any of
the categories

Anywho, I think it's great that NEWS got a nomination, it
shows that he isn't completely forgotten yet. This might,
in a way even be the first slight appearance of the large
radarworks of the machinery accepting to give P another
crack in due time instead of completely ignoring him as if
he does not and did not exist at all.

Indeed, "Pheromone" on headphones is quite a trip. you
can hear a dozen electronical flowers opening up deep
in the mix on the chorus.

They burst open like waves of sound. Incredible. Must
be some kind of synth or something. I just love that,
it sounds magical.

And the 'Space' bassline on headphones...drool.

Funny but not accurate. I've listened to many good speakers. I own a pair of Angstrom Radix 500s. Speakers are like shoes, each set have their own charactaristics. There are just some little things that you can only hear with headphones. The electronic flower thing is uinteresting for PHEREMONE... I can't wait to buy a set of headphones for Xmas.

Hey, thanks for the tip, man. I tried it and fell asleep in double quick time. Forget counting sheep or poppin' sleeping pills, fellow insomniacs, SNOOZE on headphones will put you out quicker than a Lennox Lewis uppercut.
