This from an interview with the engineer:"When you consider the type of people the Stones were in those days, you can imagine the approach they took in the studio." Greg Calbi, mastering engineer at Sterling Sound Studios in New York, speaks from...
Anybody tried the re-release of this Stones classic. Wonderful album but I thought the sound quality of the original was awful - sounded like it was recorded in a dingy basement. Which of course it was. Any views appreciated before I shell out for the...

My fiance contends that taking her to a Dave Matthews concert is most likely to lead to "post-concert horizontal dancing". Does anyone else have a view/experience that they are willing to share (nothing too explicit please )?
Any suggestions for good jazz books ? I am currently enjoying these.

I have been listening a lot to the great pianist Claudio Arrau lately, and came across a 1959 live recital from Ascona Italy (on a 1994 release on the Italian label Ermitage) that is simply phenomenal. It contains probably the finest version of the...

The Dukes: Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald & Boz Scaggs Unite for Nationwide Tour The "Dukes of September Rhythm Revue" Hits the Road Across the U.S. Beginning August 19th, 2010 I guess there is little chance of some British dates but wouldn't it be great?
being a long-time DEVO fan (since 1980 for me), I was unashamedly excited about the new album, and have been waiting somewhat impatiently for its release.went into the record store yesterday for a lunchtime vinyl trawl, and hey, they were playing my...
Hi all,Recently had an idea related to this forum as have been lurking around for a while.I listen mainly old school and also modern punk, rock, proge and jazz music. The selection also includes quite a bunch of finnish bands, including some nice...
Yep - just got tickets for his solo performance at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton. I'm a recent convert to Neil Young - about 4 years ago, still discovering his work. From those of you who have seen him live what can one expect from a...
Having bought an nDAC, I've just ripped all my CDs to the computer. I also have a digital copy of one of the albums (Led Zep III) from a vinyl rip from a 200g pressing. Given both these are digital and go through exactly the same replay chain, the...

Has anybody heard this new collection of remastered tracks? They're all seventy or so years old, so not surprisingly the sound quality is slightly variable but it's often staggeringly good. Much better than I've ever heard music from this era sound....
Just wondered what people thought the best sounding digital version of this great album might be.I have the original CD release, the Legacy remaster ... and a 1960s vinyl copy.Has there ever been SACD or DVD-A release and if so, are they any good?How...
More sad news. Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable found dead at his home this morning.
Inspired, authentic, unique, original and deeply moving :-)
Hugely recommended, a thing of great beauty. As well as the three "proper" albums, you get a 12" of three 1972 rehearsals and the long-lost NEU! 86 album. Plus a NEU! stencil, a download code and a free T-shirt.What really makes it worthwhile though...
Imagine that in some musical work, the third horn player had to execute a particular theme (or fragment of a theme) 36 times in performing the work.If he gets the rhythm of that phrase wrong the first time out, odds are things aren't going to go to...
