HereAn interesting read.
While searching for new music I was told to give these a try.If you like Porcupine Tree / Pink Floyd well worth a google and a listen on You Tube.My Amazon wishlist has just grown.
FolksI've just listened to the free CD that came with this month's Mojo magazine. It's called 'Journey to Love: Rare and Early Elektra Classics'. Now, I don't normally even bother to take these out of their packaging, but I gave this one a go in the...
"Ombra Mai Fu" Too great a find not to share. The orchestra is rather mangled in the 1915 aucoustic recording [presumably made in English Columbia's studio at Petty France], but the voice comes through with the expressive immediacy that seemingly no modern recording can match. Why should this be? Was the quality of singing so much finer then that some loss in the recording was of no significance, or was this actually a very true recording style [at least for the soloist singer] unrivalled by...
Listen here in its entirety The Age of Adz
Just picked up this cd from the local market for less than a quid, never heard of him but took a chance, quite a nice sounding cd, very well produced, was wondering if anyone had come across him?CheersLee
This will probably say at least as much about people's tastes as it does about the music.Ground rules: Nothing later than the 70s.Was listening to live Allman Brothers in the car yesterday. Still great stuff. Likewise Little Feat.
I need some CD recommendations for artists like Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Count Basie. 2 to 4 CD sets with nice selections and the best remastering on the market (not too much filtering...) would be very desirable . I don't know these...
I made a blind leap of faith recently & purchased Symphony No 4 after seeing it posted on the forum. I must say I've enjoyed listening to it immensely & find his whole contemplative style & material "uplifting" (for want of a better word) Where to next? I've toyed with purchasing Te Deum or Alina . Anyone got any recommendations? Cheers Flettster
It is 30 years today since John Henry Bonham died. Arguably the best rock drummer of all time.Any personal memories, recollections etc.Heres mine, August 11th 1979 at Knebworth Park. The best concert I have ever been to. Perfect weather, support bands...
Limited edition of 500 for anyone interested
Unbelievably, the first three months of the year have almost been and gone, so how about a quarterly report? I guess I'm hoping to find a few recommendations from out of my comfort zone, so what's hit the spot? All posts considered - long, short,...
Tonight, while listening to an Ella Fitzgerald album, I was overcome. The music was so beautiful and I felt such joy listening that I began to tear up. Luckily my wife was not home to witness it.Is it okay for a grown man to cry over music or have I...
"Tommy".
Just a heads up, as I know there are a few admirers of Hewitt's Bach on the board:Hewitt - Bach Box SetIt includes the 2008 recording of WTC.Hard to go wrong for £51.
Does anyone on the forum want to correspond for at least three months, about a single recording of a work?You suggest music, and it all gets heard by anyone with an interest.I personally hope at least some of the music is what I call classical. I hope...

AllI sometimes delve into the 'What Are You Listening To?' thread, and often think it should be renamed 'What Is The Album Cover Like Of What You Are Listening To?' thread i.e all very good and interesting but it doesn't give anybody a chance to...
We just bought tickets to see Josh Ritter just so we could catch the sweet and ultra-talented Basia Bulat who is supporting his act. Should we stay around for Josh? Any recommendations on his best work? To my knowledge I've never any of his stuff.Winky
