...the name of the first act on in April at the Westie....Reading the write up she could be worth going to see too.
I've read on the forum in various places how Japanese "pressings" of cds can sound better than their European brethren.So when I saw Bruce Springsteen Japanese replica albums at 2 for €12 in HMV I thought I was on the pigs back. I picked up a few...

Dan Berglund, as I am sure most of you will know, was the bassist in E.S.T and has now released a debut album as 'Dan Bergland's Tonbruket' (Tonbruket meaning 'sound workshop' in Swedish). Has anyone heard any of it? Apparently it steps further from...

This afternoon, I decided to listen to the Piano concerto No. 19 in F, KV 459.I hunted out Clara Haskil's splendid performance, and was suddenly struck how odd the accompaniment in the orchestra was. Ponderous, and actually not played at all in parts....

Anyone happen to know whether the Astral Weeks sold by Rhino as a download is the remaster available in Japan, or just a rip of the CD generally available at half the price?
This weekend I am enjoying a complete focus on Chopin, with Blechacz doing the Preludes, Pollini doing the Etudes and Zimerman doing the Balladen. All of the recordings are exceptionally clear and nuanced, and the performances are absolutely...
Somewhere I read a post that talked about the variable quality of CD's and somebody referred to the live recording by John Mayer as being superb.Being an ignoramus I had not heard of him but tracked down the album on the net and ordered it blind. What...
Just an idea...It's obvious that some of us are musicians (of various guises). Is there any precedent of forum members getting together and making music? Music is obviously the facet that binds us all together in such a way. Perhaps a forum member...

It's that time of year again when I get an itchin' for some classical music. My previous outing with Mahler was a real blast as the one with Shostakovich was before that. I'm feeling a little directionless this time though and not sure whose music to...

Some of my favorite albums were made in the late 60's and early 70's (The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, to name a very few), a decade before I was old enough to appreciate music and yet I have discovered them as an adult. Why? Because they stand out as...
What a wonderful record this is. Everything about it is brilliant - the singing and playing, the songs, the production. As they say, 'It's like he's in the room'.I thought American 5 was the last in the series, and then this appears. According to the...
Went to see him live last week, great show. I had only heard a couple of his songs so took a chance and was really impressed. A very unusual technique of playing, most enjoyable. Anyone else like this guy? I'm thinking of buying his Metal album,...
On the off-chance that anyone else here likes Pugwash, they are playing "The Lexington" in N. London on the 28th April, with the guys from The Word mag. hosting the evening. I've not been to the venue before, but it's err cosy, shall we say.Anyway,...
Not sure if any of you particularly care about the current Dubstep counter-movement. ???But thought you might enjoy this complete bootleg (which I can deal with in this case!) remix of William Fitzsimmons by a well known ...
I was wondering about the desert island scenario and what forum members would take if they were only allowed one album ... Let's make that two just in case one is damaged in transit. It would be a very tough decision for me but I would go with ...Joni...
