Hi Russel

This one is fantastic and re-mastered in 24/96. Have a look over at the rain forest for it. The album cover is the same as I have posted here and selling for £3.84 new! I bought it some four years ago for about £15 I. I am no expert but I love the energy Kondrashin brings to the piece and the reviews are excellent. I don't think I am allowed to give a link to you here. It comes bundled with Borodin's second symphony which is a bonus. Can't recommend it highly enough and it rips beautifully.

Brilliant. Thanks Steve I'll have a look 

Vinyl. I don't think I've listened to this since it came out. I'm beginning to realise why. It's crap.

Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad of John Henry

Great. If you go for a new copy via Canada @ £3.84 it will be on your doormat for just over a fiver so no great risk.

Just trying to find the rain forest now. Think I'm lost 

underworld : second toughest in the infants  - cd.

timeless, insofar as there is no musical past in which it draws upon, on the contrary (my dear Watson), it presents only sheer surfaces - check out the words on 'to dream of love'  "there is a sound on the other side of this water, bird is singing on the other side of this glass...preserving silences" - this is metaphorical language describing this loss of depth and substance in 'culture' 

I must be half asleep. Thanks Steve just got a bit confused for a second  Must be why I got lost!!! 

Why? Because it is one of my favourite all time albums.

On wafer thin 1987 vinyl and sounding wonderful..

Class Actress - rapprocher

Roseanne Cash "The List"

in the last couple years, she has become one of

my favorite artists

Sarah Slean "Land & Sea"

Canadian artist new to me, first listen

Pretty much the kind of sky we have now outside.

"Into these decades-old molds, however, Veracini poured sparkling and innovative music. This is not extreme virtuoso violin writing like that of Bach or Biber, but instead music with vivid folk-like effects and passagework that's well enough wrought that a lyrical spirit often effervesces. The primary audience for this rather obscure music may be violinists in search of new and exciting recital material. They'll find it in abundance here, and lovers of the violin and the High Baroque should also sample this disc. ViolinistJohn Holloway does a fine job matching the sound of his Baroque violin to the music at hand; only those with perfect pitch will even stop to notice that they're listening to a historically authentic instrument. ECM's sound design, with the Propstei St. Gerold (a provost's house in the Austrian countryside) as a setting, is superior."

Wish You Were Here         

Red          

On vinyl.

Lamb Lies Down on Broadway         

I love his Scriabin pieces.

Looser and flowy, more legato than his previous recording yet he is still able to retain the drama. He must be getting an extra mojo from more than eager audience.

Just finished:

Explosions In The Sky - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 'Prince Avalanche'. 

Very mellow. 

Now:  Sharon Van Etten - Are We There

Annie Lennox "Diva"

Jackson Browne "The Very Best Of ........"  disc 2

Over The Rhine "Drunkard's Prayer"
