I heard them back in the 80's only because I used to have to ride with the job foreman from Boulder to Keystone and all he listened to was jazz and I was not much into it then but I remember liking that pretty good.Had a girlfriend who liked The Rippingtons a lot, bought a few cds back then but haven't played them....in a really long time. Will have to queue one up soon to revisit....
I listened to that CD today and have it on again now. I've gone thru the list of what's available on youtube a few times. Have bought two ("Fountain of Youth" and "Built to Last") so far. It makes these Tempest speakers sing.
The other one I have is Kilimanjaro which I skipped thru after listening to the other. It's just a bit too smooth for my taste, very nice production and all but just seems too....homogenized.I listened to that CD today and have it on again now.

It's good speaker building music.
Some are almost repetitive to other works or filler for contract obligations but they span from the 80's until 2016, IIRC. I picked two that have a more modern jazz bent to them. The one cd that I posted the 'Soul Riders' song on it, I picked partly for that song and the couple short drum breaks in it, and the other, for the orchestral inclusions and guitar work. Some for the bass lines.The other one I have is Kilimanjaro which I skipped thru after listening to the other.

Not that I needed much encouragement but just ordered the BR.
Was listening to the BD last night for the first time. As expected, from the very first notes the DTS-HD mix is impressive. I have a digital copy so I was familiar with many of the tracks already, but the BD is definitely the way to go. I love this album already.
