Hello patk,

We've recently had a film on the telly, (BBC 2 i think) last Saturday night, about Wilhelm Furtwangler just after the war, and his interrogation by the occupational Americans.
It' a good film, well worth seeing, very interesting, the film is called 'Taking Sides'.

Hi Debs,
Thanks for that. Sounds very interesting. I will have to see if I can find it over here.

Best regards,
Pat

Surreal and dreamlike, it has a very distinctive 'live' sound, with birdsong faintly audible in the background of some of the tracks.

Always loved this album .

Music is a universal language and the music on this disc is gorgeous!

I first heard Penguin cafe on this film soundtrack, worth seeking out.




I first saw this film about 20 years ago, loved it then, still love it.

One damn good album.

Mary Gauthier has the most beautiful, haunting voice.

Just been reading an article about Fairlight CMI so thought this would be appropriate:-

beguiling stuff

Another "new" piece of vinyl:-

The highly regarded Leisure Society samples can be heard here. It was an album of the week at Rough Trade. This is my second play and I like it; peaceful man
