THE NIX LISTENING ROOMNIX MUSIC

A proper listen. A little time well spent.

I’m making room on the NIX shelf for NIX: MICHAEL JACKSON — TWO HOURS OF THE KING. With Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson in the mix, there’s a good place to start. Put it on, take a little time and see which track makes you reach for the volume.

WHAT’S THIS ONE ABOUT?

The playlist’s own description sets the direction:

A two-hour Michael Jackson set designed to flow like a stadium show: disco-funk ignition, Thriller perfection, Bad-era swagger, Dangerous grooves, HIStory drama, then a huge emotional finale.

I’d start with the running order rather than shuffle. Let the choices make their case, one track at a time.

LISTEN OUT FOR

The opening
Start with Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson. Listen to what catches your ear first, then carry that thought into the next song.

The detail
Try a track you know at a comfortable volume. Listen for a voice or instrument you usually overlook.

Another stop
Stay for Man in the Mirror (2012 Remaster) by Michael Jackson. Listen for what it changes from the opening.

BEST HEARD ON

My pick: headphones and an uninterrupted half-hour. No scrolling, no skipping after ten seconds. Let the music earn the next track.
