Pedestrian Gods
For one concrete thing, try “La Cumparsita” in a few different recordings and see which age works for you. A lot of us have a version…
If you want movement without doom, I’d start with D’Arienzo and Di Sarli, then add one or two Piazzolla tracks. The contrast helps, and you can see what kind of night you’re in.
Yep, hiss is fine when the tune survives. Softly cursed wallpaper, basically.
Exactly, and with tango that little crackle can even feel right if the balance is intact.
I’d rather hear a hiss than a remix that smears the strings into wallpaper.
Yes, and a decent transfer matters almost as much as the record itself.
Bad remastering can…
