I read that Naim is now producing Hi Def downloads. I have experience of the studio quality downloads of another company. These contain such massive files that they need to be loaded onto dvd,s. When played on my CDX am informed, (it will strip off...

Hello, I'm of the opinion that including clickable links to youtube, myspace, or other places where one can hear samples, should be a recommended practise [or mandatory] when posting recommendations. A picture might be worth more then a thousand words, when it comes to music ... well you get the idea. Its not against forum policy, is it? What do others think, do you agree, disagree, don't care? [Notable exceptions to such a rule could be some threads on classical music which are often...

What other instrument is able to convey the range of musical ideas available to the piano?Mankind has devised no more complete instrument, able to convey the broadest range of music, all seen through the undistorted image in a single performer's...

please pardon the flippancy; i was feeling very childish.The real reason for this thread is to beg knowledge. On this forum i have shamelessly asked for much help in searching for fine music and have always been delighted, Hence this new one.My...

Have recently got a few David Axelrod albums (on vinyl) and it is like finding a whole new type of music for me. My question is where do i go now for similar sounding music? What artists should i check out? Lastly what genre would he be classified as?

BBC 2 Saturday 16th Jan 22:00.Not sure if anyone had mentioned this.

The best songwriters of this genre didn't sound angry, try to write how miserable life was/is, but simply created something interesting to listen to. No protest songs, nothing from personal experience and they called it pretentious - here are a couple...

Dear Colleagues,I'm looking for CDs - or LPs - for “famous” Arias for Bass or Bass-Baritone.Any recommendations ?Thanks and regardsUrs

The Jimi Hendrix Experience Fanpack: Live 1967/68 Paris/Ottawa (Vinyl+CD) (Large T-Shirt) [Live] [Box set] Amazon are listing this item on their website and I received a promotional email from them about it. I'm not a diehard Hendrix collector so I don not know if this is an 'official' Hendrix family release. There are only 5 copies left in stock and it isn't cheap (£59.98) but I figured it was worth offering a heads-up on this forum. Direct link to Amazon:...

Amazingly, 89 today.Time to put on this bit of sublime vinyl -

Hi There, A bit of fun to start the new year. To qualify it has to be great obviously but also that particular artists best release also.For example Led Zeppelin's first album would not qualify cos Zeppelin 2 is better!! IMO anyway!!Some to start...

I like some current pop music!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYhrYHmUPn0Jason Mraz - I'm Yours (live)Real poise and real talent IMO. Not deep or usefully analysed perhaps, but splendid like the best popular music from any time in the last 110 years,...

Man in a Suitcase McGill rules More 60s themes

Once of Genesis, went to see him perform live at Holmfirth last Sunday, never really heard his music before, really good, and his new album is superb.Interesting that Nick Beggs (of Kajagoogoo) was playing bass and Chapman Stick - very talented ...

Wagner is a composer I loved in youth, but now find bloated and congested beyond reason.Anyone here still in love with Wagner? In a year, how much time do you spend listening to his music? What do you recommend?

Any one seen the film yet?I saw a clip yesterday on Film 24 , Andy Serkis is almost Ian Dury.

For any musical stamp collectors - out tomorrow.

Thank you for the music and RIP.Chris N

Bach codified harmony.Mozart completed development of sonata form.Beethoven wrote a new rule book from this.Chopin cut harmony loose from its moorings.Debussy created a new form of expression from this. Please extend this as you see fit :-)

I heard the splendid 'Wicked Game' by Chris Isaak on the wireless this afternoon, and realised that I didn't have it in my collection.So it was off to Eye Choons for a download. Top of the pile was the remastered version. Even in arguably low-fi 320...

It appears it has been confirmed by his family and reported by the New York Times Story here

In another thread that has got into a debate about personal taste and the value thereof, I was asked for a few more early recommendations for recordngs of Bach's music that will appeal and be enjoyable from the off.The poster suggested that he had...
