Welcome to the club, Huw ! The Nuove Musiche CD has also raised Adrian's, Haim's and my eyebrows. A beautiful contender for one of the records of the year, methinks.
Politeness forces me to not comment Vollenweider...

myself, one of my "run me at least once a week" CD's:

in strangely transformed sonic quality...

Stefan,
I don't disagree - it is one of B's LPs, part of the compromise for some of my eclectic listening. Agree re "nuove musiche," definitely in the running.

Currently enduring Eurovision, may have to seek solace from my iPod

HR,

nice one on vinyl.

Fishnik thank you.

First thing I did was take the puck apart, clean those rubber O rings and reshape them. That did not solve the problem, so the skipper is going to ProMusica to have it looked at and from there probably to NANA (both are in Chicago). I listened to the 3.5 for 7-8 thousands of hours since I bought it in 2000.
I will keep you updated.

Regards,

Haim

a pure rubbish.
Someone reminds me why this is supposed to be good?

One thing tho, the opening barking dog sound fooled my dog. Impressive!

muuuuuch better.

Clearly you were born without taste in music.

While not as good as "Pros and cons of Hitchhiking" "Amused to Death" is still a fine record.

The very wonderful Peter Erskine - Time Being with John Taylor and Palle Daneilsson



Bill Connors on ECM



Adrian

Iberia

The Prelude to the Oratorio "The Kingdom," by Elgar, in his own luminous and glorious old recording. Tenderness and passion expressed with the simplest of means. Out of the way and largely unknown today, but undeservedly so. I don't think it is available separately now on record, but it wouuld make a splendid opener for the second half of a symphony concert

I loved this as a child, and wore my old LP transfer out (coupled with the First Symphony on World Record Club) by the age of thirteen, but the CD issued in 1994 [and now sadly withdrawn] is able to conjure memories of very happy times 'in my own world' at school, as an eleven and twelve year old...

Fredrik

Rainer Bruninghaus best known for his work in the Jan garbarek Group. One of his own solo CD's on ECM - rather good with some nice contributions from Kenny Wheeler

And earlier one of Kenny Wheelers classic recordings

Widow in the Window

A magnetic evening of music - unable to stop the sequence. Started with whole CDs (including Tubular Bells, strewth) and then cracked open a recently bought Ivor Cutler (Tales from ..) which oddly lead to John Martyn and finally off to bed after Sandy Denny "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" - which didn't need to be followed.

Listened to the Kingdom Prelude twice and the disc ran on through Cockaine, and The Woodland Interlude and Triumphal March from Caractacus. The Finale is Elar's very last fully written out music: Mina, which again has underservedly disappeared beneath the horizon, though it is certainly what Beecham would have dismissed as Salon Music! Lovely nostalgic night of old favourites, saved for once in a blue moon.

Good night all from Fredrik

I have been listening to our own Fred Simon and Michael Bard's group from the early 80's. I have all three recordings on LP, they sound fantastic. During those years, I would catch Fred Simon and all the great talent in Chicago: Judy Roberts, Faith Pillow, Return of the Kalif, etc. Also, I noticed that several of the recordings by Simon and Bard show up on later recordings by Oregon.
