Today was a watershed today. Why, because living in Canada very few sites will allow you to buy downloads of a decent quality, that is, higher than mp3. Deutsche Gramophone and Decca solved my login problems and I now feel like a kid in a candy store....
Hi Folks I've just bought the album 'Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor' by Caro Emerald after having heard them in session on the Radcliffe & Maconie show. I think my disk is faulty - there's a whole host of vinyl-like pops and clicks throughout the album - but it could possibly be the music. Has anyone got the album who can confirm or refute this? It could be an attempt to make the samples sound like vinyl, but it goes too far. It's a great album by the way. Should I be returning...

Heard some Pat Metheny which I really enjoyed. I want to get some of his CDs but he seems to have been pretty prolific. I would be grateful for any suggestions as to his best and where to start.Thanks
I'll definitely buy the 2 cd set at least but has anybody got the full package yet? I'm probably more interested in the live dvds as there's often good reason why tracks lie unreleased for over thirty years. I'm slightly reluctant to shell out over 70...

Indulging myself in a bit of a nostalgia-fest ATM. Just discovered the "British Hit Parade" series of CDs - basically slowly releasing all the British NME chart entries that are >50 years old and hence out of copyright. I'd forgotten how many...

Brian Eno - favourites & recommendations Just looking through my Amazon recommendations the new Brian Eno album 'Small Craft On A Milk Sea' came up, and I quite like the samples. Apparently it is his 25th solo album, and that probably doesn't scratch the surface for collaborations. What are forum members favourite albums by Eno, and also collaborations and productions? Those I have and like are: 'Drawn from Life' (2001) with J.Peter Swalm 'Thursday Afternoon' (1985) 'Apollo: Atmospheres and...
Are his remastered cd's better ?I am itching to buy the archives... Cheers
The last thread is here, and it contains a link to the one before it. Ms. Hewitt’s LvB cycle has thus far been uneven. Last time around (and it’s been quite a while) I hoped the pianist would do better with the third installment. So she...

Hi,With this one on it's way, I'm curious about the differences between the various MFSL, Ultradisc and Ultradisc II pressings. I bought it because I really like the music. Unfortunately, I have little knowledge about all these kind of gold discs... I...
