So save yourself lots of money on a rare mint original and buy the new import 2cd version from caiman

Ooh, what's on the extra cd? I got the original ages ago and it's one of my fave electronica albums (the follow-up is good too)...

Edit: after a check on boomkat I assume that this is what you got? Bargain if it was!

My latest purchase is the new Shriekback album 'Cormorant', which is superb - real return to form after the disappointing 'Naked Apes and Pondlife' (haven't got 'Having a Moment' yet...)

Hi Lee,

I only just found out about Ulrich by chance as I was flicking thru some old FHM's in the office and it was on the cool tunes selection, had a listen to samples on website and was hooked.
2nd CD on import has some previously unreleased tracks and is also a good listen, I have strangely isolated place(new import version too!) on my wish list on amazon, will buy soon!
In the meantime if you want to buy the new import version then check out Amazon in the used and new marketplace HERE

Regards,

John

I enjoy that cd - a gift from a friend. Very good songwriter, decent vocals and nice arrngemnts.

New from amazon this week:

Dave Matthews Band "Weekend On The Rocks" (2-cd, 1-dvd) - More excellent live DMB, this time from a Red Rocks Colorado stay in September 9-12, 2005. Includes live versions of many of the "Stand Up" tracks plus a very good cover of the Zombies classic "Time Of The Season" and DMB vault songs.

Jackson Browne "Solo Acoustic Vol. 1" (1 cd) -
Truly excellent in every way - thanks to so many on this forum who recommended this - I am in your debt.

Sarah McLachlan "Live Acoustic" (cd-ep) - Just Sarah on acoustic guitar or piano and vocals. Nice to have these versions in my collection of SM.

Ray LaMontagne "Live From Bonnaroo 2005" (cd-ep) - Ray on acoustic and vocals, accompanied by upright bass and drums. Ray is so new to the art he has a ways to go on his live presentation but these versions of some of his "Trouble" songs and a wonderful new song titled "Empty" are very nice to hear. If you are a fan of this new songwriter, worth owning for Empty alone.

Stephen Ashbrook "Live At Long Wongs" (2-cd) - A terrific singer/songwriter who currently resides in Portland - this set catches him solo on acoustic, harmonica and vocals from his old home-base of Tempe Arizona. Kind of a Springsteen/Dylan/Mayer potpourri sound - I always enjoy hearing him.

Good listenin'

Jeff A

Compact Snap - The Jam
Leaders of the Free World - Elbow

Not listened to Elbow yet, bought it on the recc of a friend.

Swing Out Sisters!
Live & Where Our Love Grows

Hi John - If you like US then I reckon you'd like much of the Morr Music labels output. Try 'Putting the Morr Back in Morrisey' as a good introduction. Obviously I may be teaching granny to suck eggs here so feel free to ignore me!

Velvet Underground & Nico. A freebie from The Guardian. I've been meaning to get it for about 25 years..................

Does it have a peelable banana?

Regrettably not, but I have some in the fruit bowl. Satsumas too.

Nigel

Artic Monkey's - Bet You Look Good On the Dance Floor, a very exciting little musical combo.

"Solo Acoustic Vol1" Jackson Brown
Bach Mass in B Minor - John Eliot Gardiner
Very Best of Chess - 2CD compilation
"Horses" Patti Smith anniversary edition
"Prairie Wind" Neil Young (with DVD)

Chris

Is the aniversary version of Horses worth getting - it has the south bank concert with it I believe? I have never owned the original album - one I never get around to buying.

Nigel

I've decided to get the 'legacy' version anyway - it's only £9.99 on Amazon. I've also ordered Gang of Four's Return the Gift, with new recordings of som of their best stuff, and a CD of remixes. A retro Christmas beckons.

I played it this morning. Very powerful stuff. The Amazon price was an incentive to me too. Rather missed the Patti Smith thing first time around so this is a bit of a better late than never thing!
I have to say that every CD I load into my new system makes me stop what I'm doing and just listen. I had no idea just how real the Naim effect would be!

I always preferred Radio Ethiopia, but will be interested to hear what you think of the remastered version of Horses.

Even today, live, she is a force of nature.

It will get even better as it all runs in. The only Patti Smith record I owned on vinyl and bought at the time of release was Easter.

Nigel

Clearly no-one has bought anything for four days!! The Patti Smith arrived today. Overall I like it, though some of it is self indulgent twaddle. It's very intense, and I needed to unwind with Bill Evans' wonderful 'Peace Piece' from 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans' afterwards.

Variety is the spice of life.

Nigel

Alice Coltrane - Translinear light

Good vibes

Spock

Does that have their version of Indian Nation, have been trying to source it for ages ever since my vinyl copy went awol many, many moons ago?

Huwge,
