If one track, that every time you play it, really brings a huge smile to your face and reminds you of how good your system is what would it be?For me playing Katie Melua's Piece by Piece always reminds of how good a system can be!
I've enjoyed blues, especially guitar blues for many years, starting with Eric Clapton, Yardbirds, John Mayall, Stevie Rau Vaughan, then samples of BB King (Best of) and Muddy Waters.While demoing louspeakers and CD power supplies at my infinitely...
Hi All,me and the good lady were chatting about music, as you do, and she was going on about seeing Eric Bibb at a festival a few years ago and how amazing he was, but neither of us have anything of his music.So with that in mind, and considering his...

Hi all,Here is an experiment carried out by myself, spurred on by those frequently asked questions:"What 5 albums would you take to a desert island?"Well, I just bought an ipod and chose to do this with 5 albums and then take the ipod to Egypt for a...

Have got tickets to see old Slowhand at the RAH next month.Hope he features his more organic real stuff and not the Phil Collins era stuff from the 80s.

It started today. I got in to work at 6 am so i could slide out at 3 pm and make it to Joe Cocker at 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. As things worked out, I got home from work at 8:30 pm :-)There are tremendous crowds for big acts at the fest, and I have to work...
Howdy!Since there appears to be a wealth of keyboard fanciers on here, can anyone shed some light on these and give some recording recommendations?ThanksChas
I recently downloaded the 24/96 version of Raising Sand, as I wanted to see what the format was like on more mainstream music - one hopes that the available catalogue will expand soon.Now, I have to say I was not a great fan of this CD when it came...

New album streaming here - it could be a biggie.

I've been looking at vinyl options re: the Portishead LP Dummy, one of which is to buy new on the Simply Vinyl label (about £16). Anyone know what like their pressing of this particular album or their pressings generally?ThanksAndy
