In case anyone's interested the website http://www.neo-folk.it/has 6 complete compilation albums that can be downloaded for free. Pretty obscure stuff. No major names in the movement but worth a listen. I haven't got through them yet so I haven't any...
I am trying to identify a piece of music I last heard in the first part of the seven documentaries BBC4 did a few months ago about British film. It was in the one on Gangster films, and was used in the section that covered the late 70s early 80s,...
Has anyone heard the new album "3rd" by Portishead?Any good? Their debut was fab, the 2nd, terrible IMHO.Bruce

I am courious which recording(s) some of you on this forum would favour.Over the last few days I listened to almost the complete DECCA ring cyle with Solti/Windgassen/Nilsson etc. recorded between 1958 and 1966 in Vienna in the Sophiensaal. The sound...
I know this is a bit of a morbid subject, but I did see it discussed a great deal on the forum for one particular band last year, and felt it might be an interesting, and useful topic to post here. It is something that many do make specific requests...

I missed it at the time, but one of jazz's great innovators died recently:Giuffre ObituaryReally gutted to read the news this morning - a hero of mine, and a pioneer of the chamber jazz style that led to the likes of ECM. If you love that label as...
By now, some of you may have heard rumour of an album called "Momofuku" and wonder what this record is... Well, the real version is pressed on two pieces of black plastic with a hole in the middle. You may prefer other, more portable, less...
Hello all, Over the past few months I've started to explore Classical & Opera music. This started with Prokofiev's - Romeo and Juliet on BIS which I liked immensely, and so it lead me to think what else, so I raided Oxfam's in Marylebone classical vinyl section buying some Mozart (Don Giovanni), Beethoven (Symphony No.9, Karajan,) Handel (Messiah), Verdi (La Traviata, in English) and Romeo & Juliet. Now not knowing my arse from my elbow when it comes to Classical music I just bought...

Why hide the best band playing at the gig - surely you should put the stars of the show at the top of the bill. If Paul Simon opened the show and the four lads who shook the wirral came on next that would fine because I could attend and still get...

Sorry, wrong forum ;o)
Most if not all on this forum have an extended library of CD and/or vynils. Here's a tough one:If you had to keep only 1 (yes just one) which one would it be and why?I had to think a bit for that one. It would be easier if I had to choose one per...
Not really sure what that means (American I expect), but it is the title of Left Lane Cruiser's long player ('LP').It's on Alive Records which music lovers will recognise as being the original label of Peel favourites The Black Keys.If you like...
Is it worthwhile or is just another band?I didn´t pay too much atention,but it seems a succesfull band!
On Sunday Tam [of this place] put on a recording of the Symphony Number Five of Schubert. On DG, the artists were the Bavarian State Orchestra led by Eugen Jochum. It was one those performances that exceeded expectations, and the more so as it went on. Of past memories I treasure a recording under Boehm with the VPO [Decca, mono], and most particularly a performance under Klemperer with the Philharmonia Orchestra in EMI. But the Eugen Jochum performance has much to add, and is currently...
