I recently bought Katie Melua's Secret Symphony CD on Amazon. A really good CD; eminently listenable. I was just about to press the Order button, when Amazon recommended Gretchen Peters new album Hello Cruel World. I'd never heard of...

Has anyone heard this Rhino set yet? How does it sound compared to the 2008 remastered 4LP box set?Stu.
This week I'm in London and Edinburgh. Where can I buy vinyl?I love 70-s, 80-s british rock.
Since some of us were starting to monopolise the thread about unusual gigs with comments about Tangerine Dream, I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to them. When did you see them? Were they good? Which is your favourite...
Superb dynamic live recording of vintage Ry at his musical best. 'Tamp 'em Up Solid' is a great demo track by any standard. G
This article perfectly encapsulates the zeitgeist. Articulates what myself and most of us here think. We're not wrong. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/lucyjones/100062337/are-we-losing-our-respect-for-music/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?f...&v=NKDXuCE7LeQ#! Has anyone got any stories about the power of music they would like to share?
The new album Slipstream is her best for over twenty years. A real eclectic mix of blues, rock and ballads. It is by a long way my favourite album of the year so far. The musicianship and sound quality are absolutely stunning.Steve D

Having had a bit of down time I finally got around to ripping Snakes And Arrows to 24/96 form the DVD version. The extra clarity is something approaching a sledgehammer. The tracking and mixing is complex and the 16/44 rendition really...
For me it was tonight. Jesse Norman playing a typewriter and a piano concerto where Jeremy Denk played piano with his forearms.

Sorting through c1000 vinyl albums today prior to re-housing. The collection dates from the '60s to the present day. Quite a few I'd forgotten I had and it was interesting to see how my interest in particular artists changed over...
Anyone heard this on vinyl yet? I'm a bit hesitant as Springsteen's last few outputs have promised more than they deliver which I think is partly down to overblown production on some tracks, although this latest album has a...
Just listening to Foxtrot - Genesis remastered in 2008. This arrived on the doormat this week. Don't know why but decided to order this, Nursery Cryme and Abacab. Then looked up the release date for Foxtrot - It was 40 years ago! They have done a...
