If I lived near you I would take the tickets off your hands.

I've been to gigs before from band who I've never heard of (Hot Club of Cowtown) and always enjoyed it, good way to hear a band and a night out anyway

Bought it but wont have it till 22nd

Haim, Stefan,

I can sense you are interested in ECM recordings... I bought this one a couple of weeks ago...very good percusion....and acoustics...I, played aswell in a Naim session here in Vienna (long-tone hifi):

contemporary music of Nik Bartsch’s Ronin, featuring Sha, Contrabass and bass clarinets, Bjorn Meyer bass, Kaspar Rast , drums and Andi Pupato percussion. ECM records 1939. A superb experience.

regards and...

naimly yours

efrain

Altan - Local Ground
Altan - Island Angel
Solas - Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers
Dervish - Live in Palma

Looking forward to playing them later.

Howlin' Wolf - His Best (Chess compilation)

Riverside jazz compilation, excellent value at £5 from Fopp.

"Road Runner" Albert Lee and I have been given "the Seeger Sessions".

Bargain 97p from tescos and its actually quite good as dance mixes go

CD: Def Leppard - Yeah !
LP: Def Leppard - (First EP)

Both brilliant.

And I used to think Scott was easy listening = two great albums from one of the better singer/songwriters.

A sort of fan club album, available to anyone but only from her website.

KT does an acoustic album of very old songs' B side and a few new ones, recorded over a two day period 28-29 December 2005 on the Isle of Skye.

The Very Best of Dr John
Sonny Boy Williamson at His Best

Picked up the latest Flaming Lips, "At War With The Mystics", and added the oft-recommended "The Soft Bulletin".

AWWtM is really really good and TSB is really, really, really good! Happy customer of Wayne and the boys, having originally become acquainted after buying their previous album mainly on the grounds that no album called "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots could be all bad...

Pete.

Well, it's been a while since i've post something in this section, but i think it worth the wait. So here are the CDs i've purchased since i've bought my CD5i in late december last year.

Forced i'm to say that when you finally have good playback equipment, you're getting highly motivated to get some good music for it!

One pic says it all...


Bye.

I've been doing the same thing since I bought my CD5i. Can't make out all the CD's, but I too have bought all the Jack Johnson's, and many of the other you have their. If you find time, could you possibly make a list. We definately have similar taste and I'd like to try some othe the other you have.

Well, your wish is my command.

Starting from upper left corner, and folling the rows from left to right...

Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams *

Coldplay - Parachutes *
ColdPlay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Gorillaz - Demon Days
James Blunt - Back To Bedlam *
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane *
Jack Johnson - On And On
Kate Bush - The Whole Story
Gerry Boulet - Rendez-Vous Doux
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman *
The Crawnberries - Stars (the best of 1992-2002)
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance *
Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales
Holy Cole Trio - Don't Smoke In Bed *
Frédéric Alarie & Jon Gearey - Let's Cool One *
Fidelio Reference's - FSI Expo 2006 official record

Ariane Moffat - Le Coeur Dans La Tête
Pierre Lapointe - La Forêt Des Mal-Aimés *
An artists happening - Salut Joe (Joe Dassin)

Eric Lapointe - Invitez Les Vautours

I've been very picky with those stars, those are my recommended records.

Albeith a good hits line-up, Celine Dion's and The Crawnberries's records don't receive a star, because they offer a totally crappy sound. Celine's is recorded way too loud, and clip too often on edges. The Crawnberries's one have a "wow and futher" in it worse than the worst walkman on dying batteries than i've listen to in my entire life!!! Can you believe this to be offered to honest customers in 2006???

Bye.

Pulp Different class / carboot

I had a bit of a splurge today and bought:
- Martha Wainwright;
- John Williams - Classic Williams Romance of the Guitar;
- Bob Dylan - The freewheelin'- remaster;
- Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home - remaster;
- Beethoven Symphonies (1-9 Inlcusive)- Simon Rattle & Weiner Philharmoniker - 5 discs - superb packaging with near 90 page hardback booklet - slight boxset trepidation setting in already i.e. goodness knows when I'll find the time to listen to it!

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Sisters -Rabbit fur Coat (New stuff, read about here and liked it)

Johnny Cash - Cash (never used to be be much of a country fan, but can't believe how much I enjoy this disc)

Peter Frampton - Now (The guy never got enough credit for his guitar playing and this is a good recording)

Chris Botti - To Love Again, the duets (My favorite Botti disc, many good artist appear: Sting, Paula Cole, Michael Buble, etc.)

Sting and the Police - Greatest Hits (covers them all)

Boz Scaggs - Greatest Hits Live (great sound for a live CD and Boz is timeless)

Diane Schuur - Talkn' 'Bout You (A fantastice performance when she was still with GRP, great sound).

Latest arrivals:

Ryan Adams - Love Is Hell
Coldplay - Parachutes
Bach - Brandenberg Concertos
Brahms - Piano Concerto Nr.1
Grieg & Schumann - Piano Concertos
Hummel - Moschelles Cello Concertos
