Music Room
Recently "discovered" this wonderful genre...
After spending too long ignoring live music, our new year's resolution has been to see more of our favourite artists live.Concerts 3 and 4 of this year both happened in the last week. The first was seeing Natalie Merchant at the Hammersmith Apollo...
Don't really want to argue, would prefer to read and consider.Please educate me :-)Thank you.
For those of you interested in the black art of music mastering, the even blacker art of compression and other sound quality related issues there is a very interesting feature interview by Steve Guttenberg with Dave Mcnair called "Music Mastering: The...
I purchased both DVD-A releases by Frank Zappa when they were released.Both 'Halloween' and 'QuAUDIOPHILIAc' are pretty good albums but until now I have only been able to play them through the surround system in the reception room that houses my...
Now being a very handsome young & virile whippersnapper I did not get to see this AMAZING band live but many of you mature, wise & extremely wealthy granddads might have. SO what were they like live? and while we are at it what were the other Prog Rock behemoths like live as well meaning PG Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELP, Rush, Jethro Tull, Marilion was it all flamboyant showing off or did you come out moved to tears like a big fluffy pink coloured girls blouse? So tell me your memories of these...
Can anybody suggest some late night music - sort of electronica, moody, down-beat, trance-like? Maybe a dumb request, but there are times that I just want to be taken by the music and drift along..... So far, I can think of people like Moby,...
I suppose my definition is that the whole recording must have a governing theme or idea - ie. not just a collection of songs or compositions.'Pro's and Cons of Hitchiking' for an example.Graeme
It's just been confirmed that Ronnie James Dio has died aged 67 from cancer.A great shame
Hi, reading an article about the loudness war, one of the article references was the Pleasurize Music Foundation. I havent heard of them before and couldnt find any earlier forum posts here on the naim forum. Some excerpts: The Pleasurize Music...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3R0RHNHaU4I have done some research and found out that this particular song above is not featured in any of Imogen Heap's albums. I read that it is only available as digital downloads such as Itunes. Is there any chance we can...
Stevie is 60 today. If anyone doubts that the man is anything but a complete and utter mindblowing genius, a soul titan, a musical god, and any other number of superlatives, check out this awesome clip!

Now we have a con/dem government, eager to pay back the national debt....Will radio going digital in 2015 still happen?Chris N
..a recent acquirement of mine.Approximately how many listens does it take before it stops being irritating?
I've always had a soft spot for pop songs in time signatures other than 4/4 and 3/4, (there's something somehow subversive about, say 5/4, or my current favourite 9/8) but most of them are to be found deep among the album repertoire of, lets say, the...
From what I have seen over the past years on this forum, the British always prefer British orchestras, particularly to the exclusion of American orchestras.That's not the way I pick orchestras, but I understand the "buy local" sentiment.So how do you...
Jane Siberry DownloadsThe server seems a bit hit and miss, but of you try each album, you'll get a few that work. I wasn't familiar with her music but am enjoying a couple now...
Anyone listened who would care to comment on the remastering?Given the venue and mobile lab I'm not expecting a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but some improvement might be possible.ThanksGraeme
I'd appreciate your views please.
Falling in with the "favourite <band> album" meme - what's your favourite Fall album? I just bought the new one, which online samples lead me to believe is a "return to form". But, at heart, I'm an early Fall fan, so my vote goes to the "Slates,...
Any JD fans here in Naimland? I can't quite believe it but it's 30 years today since Ian Curtis died. I was only just discovering them towards the end and bought the albums in reverse order: Closer, Unknown Pleasures and then then Warsaw bootlegs. I...
Scary.I was on the 90 bus in Sunbury when I heard. Time flies.
