Cancer was the cause, he was just 65.A very very sad loss. He was (especially early on in the Floyd's career) a very distinctive keyboard player, with that wonderful "Eastern" Farfisa sound. Wrote or co-wrote some great tracks, too.

I often hear that of numerous releases of a certain album, one in particular is of superior sound quality. For example I read in an article that an early CD release of Joni Mitchell "Blue" was better than all the other CD releases. It gave no...
What does it say about Lambchop (and me) that I can think of no other band which I can alternately love and hate with the same ferocity?The new album (OH, Ohio) is, in essence, almost a sampler of their previous output. It more or less revisits the...

I've just listened to this CD again after leaving it on the shelf for some time. 10 seconds in to the first track remined me why!Is it me or is this a terrible recording. What is making that bass noise on track one (A Thousand Years). There seems to...
I've been listening to James Taylor's excellent and wonderful new album, COVERS. It's ironic that for all the great songs he's written, so many of his hits have been covers ... You've Got A Friend, How Sweet It Is, Up On the Roof, Handyman, etc.The...

Hi Guys,After looking at the "what are you listening to now" thread for sometime I've noticed a proportionate amount of seemingly young pretty lady singer/songwriters being listening to by the mainly male folk on this forum. Now I ask myself does this...
Hi Guys, I recently bought a SHM CD via CD Japan, which came through with no problems. Last week I ordered another 2 albums and have been charged £19.50 by customs. This seems very strong as I only paid £30 for both albums. I have emailed...

Samples on Mary Chapin's web site - songs sound excellent - I hope the guy with the volume control on the mixing desk has been told to behave.Finally, a Christmas album worth listening to all year long. When Mary Chapin Carpenter set out to create...
Just a heads up to those who may be interested.....the new box set is wonderful and completely avoids the 'yet another compilation' pitfall. John Hillarby has done a fantastic and affectionate job. The live versions particularly the extra ones from...
Hi I had to ask this question and I wasn't sure which forum to post in.I have just bought Dire Straits greatest hits, which is all recorded in HDCD. Now I figure that within the HDCD material I have of them, I could take the tracks out which make up...

It's not every recording that elicits a response of wow, there are plenty of very good recordings that don't. However, I seem to have come across two in the last couple of days (well, one and a half).At the weekend I was clearing out the last couple...
Anyone like this new one from Future Sound of London?B
Although it came out in April, I've only just found out about it. There is a compilation called Perfect Unpop Peel Show Hits & Long-Lost Lo-Fi Favourites. Vol.1 1976-80. It contains tracks championed by Peel in that era that were not out and out punk records, but had a pop element to them. There are some great tracks on it and it is thoroughly recommended. Some personal favourites include Language School by the Tours (according to the notes, Peel's second favourite track of all time), Whips...
