Jeff, I am not familiar with Morphine, could you give some more info on what type of music it is?

I think I might give this a try. Its on offer at £3.49 on a site named after the largest river in the world by volume and located in South America.

You like the Eye?

I still can't get on with that one.
Guess I am stuck in '80s.
p.s. I got the Essential on the vinyl along with a lot of 12" singles.
Jungle Bill ruuuuulz!

Well 'The Eye' will require that your system / room handles serious bass to give full effect
Geoff

It's not that sound effect that is lacking.
Somehow, I don't get on with the contents than their older titles.

You gotta remember I even enjoy the tunes in my office system which cuts off at around 50 hz.

Don't know if it is still available but the MP3 site EMUSIC used to have a Kris Delmhorst Live at Schuba's disc that you couldn't get anywhere else.

Gordon, the only thing I know about Morphine is this disc. Three-piece,unusual instrumentation - drums, bass and vocals, and baritone sax. I don't play it often but like it every time - the disc rocks in its own unique way - apparently they were amazing live according to the friend who gifted us with this disc.

Noticed on the loaner Kris Delmhorst disc that Morphines' drummer was the producer. Gian has been playing the KD and piqued my interest. It rocks in a quieter way, excellent but slightly unique vocal sound, I will be buying my own copy of this at some point and will be trying to dig deeper into her catalogue.

Quality begets quality - those subtle connections can lead to some great music discoveries. I love exploring the works of artist/producer/band member connections.

Exactly Jeff, thats kind of why I'm always interested in what other forum members are listening to.

I have loved this album since it first came out but today I think I have heard it for the first time...on my Sondek.

I've been spending much of today with Elgar. I hadn't planned to but then, whilst doing some Christmas shopping, I happened across a 5 disc box of the orchestra works in HMV for just £12 and decided I needed a present to myself, especially given Barbirolli is the conductor. So far I've enjoyed the wonderful cello concerto with du Pre and am no listening to the first symphony.

Well worth picking up if you happen across it.

Ewen,

if you listened to those discs in that order, Tiny Voices must have been a bit of a jolt between Wilson and Otis, though there is no doubt JH is soulful in his own way.

hope you are feeling better !

Unarum fidium

John Holloway, baroque violin
Aloysia Assenbaum, organ
Lars Ulrik Mortensen, harpsichord

Mid 17th century music inspired by the heavy snow outside.

The CD not the magazine...
