I see the record label "Not Now Music" popping up more often in the record stores. The cd's are really cheap. All around 5 euros even for double and triple cd's. I am wondering what your experiences are with this label. We all know the labels like...

Hi has anybody bought cds from concert live. Are they good enough recordings to use on a Naim system. I love good live recordings any recommendations. HiFiKid
Does anyone know where I can obtain some good ones from?
Not sure if anyone can help, but I don't know who else to ask! If you had the choice between Lennon's 'Ronk N Roll' album re-issued via EMI-100 or the 2008 issue by Capitol what would you go for? Is there any differences? Are they produced from the...

PC quits music Wonder if he did it by Fax Guy
Yes folks; it's Martin Turner's re-invention of the classic 1972 Wishbone Ash album. I've only just discovered it and it's not often I get this excited about a new CD. A beautiful re-interpretation for me, with its mediaeval lyrics about 'the big...
Since the 60s, many of my most electrifying musical moments have been provided by jazz. But these days, many albums that provided tremendous satisfaction leave me flat. One good example is Miles Davis "Porgy and Bess". Davis' intonation drives me...
So.... it struck me this morning that as much as I dearly love listening to music through my Naim system, there are times when something massively inferior works better. The last 2 mornings my daily commute (which takes in a few back-roads, and...
Just picked up a copy of Gil Scott-Heron's I'm New Here simply out out of curiosity as I'd heard of him but never heard him - and I love it!
Can anyone here recommend any of his other stuff?
Cheers, Paul
As a sidebar to the poll in another thread, when listening to the remastered Revolver, is the sound of the guitar too bright and/or harsh? Not always, but especially when the Byrds-like guitar jangle is heard? I do think that overall, the...
Hi guys, New Naim signing The Milk's debut single '(All I Wanted Was) Danger' is out on the 27th March. It is currently No 1 (ahead of major pop from Jessie J, Scouting For Girls Beady Eye) on Play.com Pre Order Chart HERE:...
Even if you did not have to, I have been on a forced not buying spree over the past six months because of my financial situation and that I bought loads of stuff over the previous 5 years and wanted to get to know what I had more intimately. So with...

Hi , anyone purchased this album. Just wondered what other folk though. Unfortunately i cant enjoy the content because (on my system ) the females voice has me reaching for the headache pills.To me this is a shocking recording.So bad i am going back...
New album Smart Flesh - simply superb (slightly rough recording though) Tog
Bought today in HMV York for seven pound coins.
Seem to remember this being considered a good remaster.
Will compare on my Naim system when I return to the end of an election campaign in Ireland.
While never being an avid fan i just picked up "Bob Dylan at Budokan" on vinyl and i love it Can you recommend any other albums i should track down Thanks in advance
SWMBO has booked tickets for Dolly in September. I would have posted in the Who are you going to see in 2011 thread, If the so called Search Engine worked!

Having just aquired a 'red swirl' Vertigo set of Dire Straits (yes, I know) studio albums and noted how they sound far superior to the later 'remasters' I wonder if they differ again from the 'blue swirl' or 'target' versions? Steve Hoffman's...
I have just got this email from CD services in Dundee, who I get a fair amount of electronica from (an excellent resource for that) and thought some of you may like the heads up on what just may be a very different album. I have left the links intact - if these are inapropriate please feel free to edit - not a problem, google will get you there!

http://vimeo.com/1546186 This short - and very poignant - film (above) by Sean Dunne is about Paul Mawhinney, who apparently has (or had?) the world's biggest record collection - a million albums and 1,500,000 singles. Absolutely gripping stuff....
