What new releases are you looking forward to?

The new Laura Marling album, due for release 22nd March.

I have been waiting for years for this to finally get released on CD, Out of print for years on vinyl only, these classic albums from the 1975-78 period- "Clouds In My Head", "Shimri" and "Green Shading Into Blue" are released at the end of March. Good news for fans of Europe's best bassist.

I was under the impression that Eberhard Weber was recovering...?

Don't know about the recovery. Did forget about Eberhard when I made that big statement! But for me it is between the two and I do favour Arild marginally - he has an awesome tone. Not forgetting Palle Danielsson, Lars Danielsson and Hein Van De Geyn, three other great European bassists.

Mine came today - just finished listening to it.

Wonderful stuff though you have to like pop and don't find the odd combination of Lene Lovich and (first album, without the po-face) Alanis Morrisette with a dash of Sparks off-putting :-)

Such a strong collection of songs - Hollywood is by no means on its own. Big smile on my face.

Porcupine Tree: Anesthetize - live in Tilburg DVD

Current Release Format speculation

- Standard release (contents: unknown)
- Blu Ray (contents: unknown)
- Deluxe edition (contents: Hard back book, rumored to include the DVDs, Audio CDs of the concert and an extra recording of another live show from the FOABP tour)

Not sure if there was any filming at indigo2, i'll look into it. I would imagine they filmed in the US other than Tilburg.

I find this a strange release now. It seems about a year too late now that they have been doing the Incident Tour for some time.

I reckon we will get a Royal Albert Hall release from the Incident tour early next year.

If you build it?People will come.

People might get a bit pissed off with a lot of "special" packages and limited editions too.

Thanks to Lontano, I've recently placed an order for this through an online store in the US named after a river in South America.

On the subject of music DVDs (which we sort-of were on...) I wonder what became of the proposed Led Zep one of their recent concert? Can't find any sign of it anywhere.

I bought that a couple of months ago from Borderline in Brighton - released by Friday Music.

Maybe they are rereleasing it. It was released late last year in November so not a promo.

It's fine but you know me, I prefer the CD!

I'm pretty sure this came out at the end of last year?

edit : Lontano beat me to it!
