What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (VOL V)

Annie Lennox

My only SHM-CD with Better by You, Better Than Me sounding a bit 'thin'. Mind you, Hangman Hang My Shell on a Tree sounds very good.

Earlier today

If you like some of the vintage Pixes artwork Mat, just wait until you see the re-issue box set later this year and the new art...!

Thanks Steve...I didn't know they were bringing one out...one of the few bands I can honestly say I'm a hopeless fan of...so I'll buy it. Just listening/watching this through an old NAD dvd player that always surprises me in that it sounds good...

That's a great live DVD - a lot of fun! I thought a lot of their stuff sounded great acoustic...

Yeah, I posted something a few months back about the re-issues....All the back catalogue albums are being re-issued as a special set. I don't have the 100% spec but there will be one luxury package including a 14" x 21" 64 page booklet...and then the special edition package (3000) will include the book, slip cased 5 vinyl LP each one being gatefold, and 5 set cd and blueray disk for each album. There will be a version of the book for both CD and LP packages...LP and CD/blueray set may be sold off individually as might the book....

It's not actually a 4AD release, but Vaughan Oliver has art directed the new package and all the new photography has been done this last year by my good mate out here Simon - who was responsible for all the classic Pixeis album photography/covers...

Should be a nice thing to own

Glad you like it Jeff.
It is a very well put together album.
Would love to know who sent it to me last year.
Did you go for the cd or vinyl?
Stu

purchased mp3 download from amazon (into iTunes) and burned to cd-r.

It is always Bavouzet versus Michelangeli when it comes to Debussy's piano music. I could say that Bavouzet plays it like a Nait 3 (a bit warmer and slower) while Michelangeli is more like a Nait 5i (sparkling and faster).
