![]() ![]() If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to “see” the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn’t showing signs of coming back. This vintage Columbia pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. This is why we keep improving our systems, right? There is never going to be a time when these nearly forty year old recordings have nothing new to offer. I’ve been playing ASIT for thirty years and I heard lots of things this time around I never knew were there. No matter how many times you play the album you will hear (and hopefully appreciate) something new in the mix. If you have big speakers and a penchant for giving the old volume knob an extra click or two, it just doesn’t get any better than A Space In Time. You need large dynamic drivers with plenty of piston area – the kind that can move a lot of air – in order to bring the power of the music to life. I always knew this great album could sound good, but it’s not often I heard it sound like this!Ī Space in Time is just one of the recordings that made me pursue Big Stereo Systems driving Big Speakers, right from my earliest days in audio. The production on A Space in Time is crisp and clean, a sound quite different from the denseness of its predecessors has its share of sparkling moments.” 4 stars: “The leadoff track, ‘One of These Days,’ is a particularly scorching workout, featuring extended harmonica and guitar solos.No matter how many times you play the album you will hear (and hopefully appreciate) something new in the mix.One of the most important records in my growth as an audiophile from 1971 to the present – my stereo was forced to evolve in order to play this kind of Big Production rock, at the loud levels that the album requires to work its magic.These sides are tonally correct, big and bold, with the kind of rich, full-bodied sound that is the hallmark of rock recordings in the early to mid- ’70s.An excellent Columbia pressing with solid Double Plus (A++) sound throughout.More Ten Years After Reviews and Commentaries for A Space in Time
