I have just gone onto HMV Japan's website and noticed that Moondace remaster is due to be released on the 25th June. Cdjapan also list them for coming out the same day.In fact it looks as if a batch of his Warners stuff is about to be issued...
His new album arrived on my doorstep this morning from HMV Guernsey.Its a double LP with bonus live material recorded at the Blackpool Opera House which are not included on the CD.This is the best thing he's done for years and years. Back to the...
Still incredibly relevant Sandy Denny died 30 years ago on Monday. Her influence is evident in many of our current crop of wonderful female Folk artists from Martha Tilston, Kate Rusby, Karine Polwart, Bella Hardy to Rachel Unthank and many others. I...
I'd been looking forward to getting the new CC CD from the States as I really like 'August and Everything After' which sounds great.The recording of 'SNASM' is utter shite. Someone deserves to be shot for it. Are these people deaf, or more likely,...
I am not sure if my speakers are correct left/right [They are in phase]. Can you recommend recordings that will tell me .... I like classical and rock .. Thanks. James H. [Please don't tell me to check the terminals since getting at the back of my components is quite difficult -- I may have the CD output reversed and also I may have the speakers reversed ... or not ... maybe they cancel]. What I want is suggestions that either a) Tell me to download a file that tells me which is which or b)...

I'm thinking of buying a ticket to see my favourite current band playing at Leeds Metro University on Tuesday 1st of July. Is anyone else going or would fancy meeting up for the gig? Bruce are you near? Go on you know you really want to. Now would...
Rarely heard these days, 'Dogs' was a single from 1968 - a sort of link between their mid sixties singles and the rock opera Tommy. Slightly confusing because another track 'Dogs (Part Two)' was the b-side of 'Pinball Wizard' (1969) and this latter is...
Absolutely spellbound by 'Moi et mon camion' - apart from the suspect title, this is the best CD I've bought so far this year. Took a punt after a 5* recommendation from Sunday Times (not always reliable). Brilliant. I suppose I'll have to search out...
When it comes to the Diabellis, I often prefer a more interventionist approach. I can’t quite explain why, but when a pianist obviously tinkers around with the tempi (especially) and dynamics (less so), I often enjoy the results, though not...
Not really a discussion but never the less - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on JR tonight.

Is she American or British?BTW,I think she sings beatifully
I'd suggest picking them up from the Connoisseur Society directly. The two-disc sets are $13.98 each, and shipping in the US is free, and overseas it's cheap. That makes the cycle $56. http://www.connoisseursociety.com/ has the info. And some more...
Piotr Anderszewski's latest: the Op 126 Bagatelles and C Major Concerto. It snuck up on me - I had no idea it was coming. Four listens in relatively rapid succession convinces me of its superior quality, with some caveats. First of all, Anderszewski...
If this video really was recorded live it is billiantly done....great music anyway IMO.CheersJimPS. Hopefully linking this URL doesn't break any forum rules since I've somewhat lost track of what is acceptable and what isn't these days.
'Don't Want to Know' - The John Martyn song, but performed by whom please?John.
Sir Charles Mackerras's additions to Chandos's Opera in English series are always worth ago (but then I would say that about any of his recordings), indeed, his last one, Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel just won a Grammy (the first opera in...
Was this just a false dawn:false dawn?I miss their Sheffield branch
The Long Player GoodbyeA new book by Travis Elborough to be published in June. From the synopsis it sounds as though it could be quite good.JonathanQuote from Amazon synopsis:For 60 years the way our music has been presented to us has been in the form...
A couple years ago I picked up the first volume of Kun-Woo Paik’s Beethoven sonata cycle, comprising sonatas from Op 31/1 through 81a. The notes indicated that the rest of the cycle would be recorded later in 2006 and 2007. Cool, I thought,...

"What on earth are you talking about?"For the uninitiated, this brief conversation taken from a film (source unknown) introduces “Don't Fall”, the opening track of Script of the Bridge, the debut album by The Chameleons. From the chiming...
One of those accidental discoveries... was wathing The Natural World last week about Sami reindeer herders and one of the program segments was about joiking, a Sami folk style that tries to create the essence of a place, person or thing in song. I'd...
