Music Room
Growing up in New Orleans is a town where you always here music if you are out and about, even if only for a few blocks, or at least that's the way I remember it.If lyrics move you, just forget New Orleans music, any words will do. It's not unusual...
Assuming someone here has London Calling in their collection. As far as production & sound quality is concerned, how is it thought to rate? I ask because it's the only Blu-Spec CD I have. I don't have it on ordinary CD. I listened to it last night through headphones (CD5 i ,Graham Slee Solo, Grado SR225i) - first time on headphones, normally listen out loud. It sounded absolutely amazing. I've actually been thinking about selling the Slee because I find so many CDs difficult to listen to, it...

...looks like a beautiful collector's set. It could have been even better if they had included some more crown jewels, such as (in no particular order):
This one snuck up on me, at least partly due to the fact that I wasn’t exactly looking for a new recording of Bartok’s piano concertos. The last new set I bought was Boulez’s with the trio of famous contemporary pianists, and that...
For some few months now, I have been making a study of this piece. I was attracted to the poly-rhythmic feel of the music, and the unusual orchestration.The poly-rhtyhmic feel of this work is the result of combining lines that are syncopated with...
I've posted on here recently I"ve been given 2 people's collections of LPs. Vi certainly had eclectic taste. Some that I know nothing about but come from the experimental and concept albums.Gentle Giant - Three FriendsLove- Forever ChangesThe Illinois...
Rules; ONE track per artist, and justify the inclusion. Pick ten in no particular order, with some nearly-rans.Don't just whack ten down, spend half an hour thinking about it.

A visitor to a recent Hi-Fi show I attended, pulled out this CD and requested I play it. I gladly accepted and as soon as the first notes were played, I realised that the tempo, which was considerably slower than usual, made the piece sound "right"....
Have always looked on a certain auction site , but i could not believe it when a copy of Led Zeppelins album (one with picture of zeppelin on front} first issue on PLum coloured label on vinyl has just sold for............£1320...
On U Sounds is back thank god. It's releasing new recordings - weird but very good. They've also reissued everthing as downloads together with some previously unreleased tracks and they're going to start reissues on vinyl and CD. Happy days

Songwriters' Circle on BBC4Filmed at London's intimate Bush Hall before a small audience, a series of 4 concerts has already commenced. I have seen the first 2 and they are fabulous and the following shows should be equally rewarding. This is what...
If anybody was after the Kinks' Arthur re-master on a special vinyl pressing then this has been delayed yet again .... TBH I don't think it'll ever come out now - I'm used to Mr D announcing things and then cancelling them perhaps he's Gone Dancing.

I have spotted some 180g vinyl reissues on Virgin of Phaedra and Rubycon. Both are from digital remasters originally done in 1995. In addition Lilith have put out 2 compilations; Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares & Run To Vegas. Has anyone heard them? Are they any good?
I'm off to see AF at the Warwick Arts Centre tonight. Anyone else going?I've only got 'Meet Me In London' - which of his other albums would you recommend?Gavin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pro...TF8&n=229816&s=music Anyone seen the new Dylan box set out next month - his first 8 albums in a mono box set £71. Any thoughts on this, I quite fancy it but with hi res slowly emerging buying expensive box sets could prove a faux pas? Gary
Released a few weeks ago. It's a 'blinder'! If you love 'Live in Europe' period Rory, you'll love this. Same kind of quality.Recorded live for Radio Bremen in three sessions 1971-2, for 'Beat Club' their respectable music programme.
