Antonio Forcione

Posted by: ChrisD on 24 November 2002

Hi,
I am hoping there are some antonio forcione fans on the forum that could point me in the direction on which album to get next. I have already got his live album, and my favourite tracks off of it are heartbeat, i heard it through the grapevine, African dawn, Diary and Night passage. Bearing this in mind, which album should i get next as there are so many to choose from and i havent heard any of them.

thanks

Check out the mp3 downloads from naim's website for a bit more idea. FWIW Ghetto Paradise is probably my favourite. But then again, Talking Hands is really great, etc. You can't really go too far wrong, to be honest.

Thanks for that pete, i've now ordered ghetto paradise. I couldn't find the mp3's on naims site though, are they the same as the ones on www.antonioforcione.com ?

Don't know, never listened to them... but the naim site's music catalogue pages have downloadable mp3 files IIRC.

I think Meet Me In London is probably one of my least played naim discs (I've got most of them). I'm not saying it's bad, but the emphasis is on the vocal side of things to quite some extent and Sabina's vocals don't work quite as well for me as they seem to for others: that's not to say anyone else won't like them, but if you're looking for an album based on the fact you loved AF Live then it isn't an obvious next step as it's a very different sort of setup.
