In Depth Review: Neil Young Archives Vol. 3 | Davy's Flicks

In Depth Review: Neil Young Archives Vol. 3Davy's Flicks

Here is an in depth review of Neil Young Archives Vol. 3 from our pal @ Davy's Flicks

   

Davy staggers thru the magintude of Neil Young Archives Vol. 3. Davy reports that it took him over two dedicated weeks to immerse himself in the boxset.  And this covers only the 17 CDs -- not the BluRay films, which will come in the future.

Also, Davy takes head on some of the "complaints" on NYA#3.  Nice balanced job on that difficult task Davy!  We know that we have a great deal of difficulty in criticizing an artist's lifetime capstone project.  While we all expect perfection in all things, the impossibility is the reality. Reasonable expectations, as always.

Comment of the Moment: Neil Young Archives Vol #3 Now Live on NYA

 
Neil Young Archives Volumes #1 - 3

As mentioned here last week, the Neil Young Archives Volume #3 is now streaming on NYA.com.

Our Comment of the Moment is on Neil Young Archives Vol #3 Now Live on NYA by Dionys:

Collecting material and immaterial things is an expression of human nature. 

Even the non-materialistic aborigines of Australia collect(ed) dreamings as narratives and assembled their painted representations on rocks.

Another perspective: They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” So collecting things and thoughts ultimately is an expression of identity.

I sometimes imagine all these Neil Young fans and collectors of other things (including myself) building towers "to make a name of themselves" by passing their shrines and pyramids on to the next generation and meanwhile we are enjoying good music.That's why i switched back to vinyl, because these files and CDs need a ton of sophisticated and ever-changing technology. Somewhere I have data files on diskettes but the technology to read them is long time gone. Those LPs from the 50's that I inherited from my dad still play fine. Still I could not resist buying the large CD edition.

I am convinced that there are NY towers and pyramids in Europe that are far taller then mine, but hey - it's part of my headstone that I am interested in, so I added another brick in my wall of sound.

In these parts of the world the normal citizen by now had eight decades to accumulate possessions. During these years one could have done far worse than heaping up books, music and art.

Thanks much for Our Comment of the Moment Dionys!  Always appreciate your insights and perspective. This really resonates for those trying to remove attachments while seeking a simpler, slower life style.
