I have truly avoided ever typing:

evergreen

unfathomably good

rock-solid bass

heart-stopping dynamics

cat amongst the pigeons

superb

atop

aficionados

strongly articulated

spacious

inky blackness (!)

airiness

breathtaking

immediacy

signature

nasties

monochrome tonality

groove

vice-like grip

metronomic timing

intrusive

musical flow

vocal inflections in all their subtle glory

enamoured

sucking .. the emotion out of a performance

mellifluous

tangible sound

rhythmic flow

foibles

dyed-in-the-grain (shurely wool?)

That's enough cliches.
