Hey guys...If you're fans, you may already know, but the re-issued box-set I first hinted some details a few months back on has now gone public....My good friend, 'the fifth Pixie' has dropped some fantastic new imagery to go with it all....Same basic...

I finally took the plunge and purchased a VPI. I have been playing around tonight and had some mixed results. Some of the vinyl although looking clean still has very audible clicks and pops, I had hoped these would disappear or at least be less...

Dearest Forumites,On June 29th, Naim Edge will be releasing William Fitzsimmon's debut album 'Goodnight' in the UK. He blends contemporary folk and electronica in a very unqiue and infectious way that I call 'folktronica' - I'm not expecting that to...

Just downloaded the free version and was listening to Alela Diane' last album and now Elvis Presley's In the Ghetto. No buffering, no downloading, no sound drop out, good sound quality (IMO). Anyone else using it? They reckon most artists are on here...

We have friends who recently retired from the local orchestra. Earlier this week, they commented that of everything, they missed playing Mahler symphonies.That sent me into the stacks. Our Boulez Mahler 6th had died an unnatural death, so I ordered a...

Laurence Hobgood w/ Charlie Haden & Kurt Elling When The Heart Dances naimcd112- OUT NOW Expert pianist, composer and arranger Laurence Hobgood has long been a great friend of Naim. In the 90s he recorded two highly acclaimed albums for Naim in the group Union, and a further two as a solo artist, Left To Own Devices (2000) and Crazy World (2005) with the Laurence Hobgood Trio. Described by Dave Brubeck as “one of the most incredible pianists I have ever heard”, Hobgood has been...

For the past several months, my wife and I have focused on Beethoven. Chief in our aims was to find fresh ears. We consumed piano sonatas, string quartets, the symphonies and the Missa Solemnis.The Mass is beyond my capacity to write about. The...

I was in our local Sunrise records last night and saw a small section dedicated to vinyl.There were plenty of 180gram pressings, some Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bowie, ACDC, Metallica, Slipknot, etc...So the question is, are these modern pressings...

Just wondered if there was anyone around here who knew these bands and knew of other similar stuff? EITS is more chilled out and relaxed, whereas 65DOS is more complex and faster, get the blood pumping more. Im looking for recommendations that go in...

I predicted this result within about the first two bars of the song and was so pleased that my musical judgement would be accurately seconded by the voting, which so often follows partisan lines rather than the real talent!Well done Norway!!ATB from...

Could somebody explain this 24 bit system to meThank you

I am a long time progressive rock fan, YES, ELP, Genesis, etc. Never seemed to get into King Crimson (don't know why). I have one of their albums, Court of the Crimson King. Bought because I love Lake's vocals. I am also a big fan of John Wetton...

Don't know if anyone needs this? It arrived in an e-mail from EMI today. "Pink Floyd Ultimate Fan page"?

Inspired by other threads. I really like Led Zep's first six. But I didn't like Presence in 1976 and after several attempts even now don't get it, [I've heard that Passion Play does that for Tull fans but it is one of my favourites]

Surprised that no one has started a thread on the the Clapton and Winwood hour long show last night on the Beeb.Best I have seen him play in years. Winwood was a very good foil for him.Excellent Voodoo Chile.
