Both voices are richly characterised, and there’s tight, rich and weighty bass, as indeed there is on the cover of The Pet Shop Boys’ ‘It’s A Sin’. Here I’ll admit to preferring the version on the PSB’s recent Smash compilation [Parlophone 5054197296215], and the replacement of Elton John’s mannered vocals with Neil Tennant’s. The voice is just as affected, but much less of a drag on the rhythmic drive of the track, which still sings through the oddly ‘brickwalled’ production.

There’s no such problem with the mystical, deeply moving sound of Paul Simon’s Seven Psalms [Sony/Owl Records 19658779112]. Via these speakers it’s going to grab and hold you throughout its more than 30-minute running time, the seamless music punctuated with temple bells and bowls seemingly hanging in three dimensions in the soundstage. The imaging is wonderful, and the effect hypnotic.
