i have read past threads here on wagner's ring with interest. (and i hesitate to tread here, where one poster suggested another review debussy as his wagner views were not sufficiently manly; but, i forge ahead ... let's be civil, now boys). and...

This album was released this year.Anyone heard it yet because I can find it here and I wonder if I should buy it on Amazon.Is it worthwhile?

Ex Cotton Mather frontman, Robert Harrison (possibly George's long lost bastard love child) new band They have a new double disc and pretty much every song is a winner. I saw them last night with about 30 other die-hards. I even left P-Funk early...

I'm not sure that there are many Animal Collective fans here these days, but even if you're not I can thoroughly recommend the solo album by one of them - Panda Bear.Imagine if Brian Wilson had worked with Phil Spector in an age when sampling was...

I´ve a Jason Moran album,Black Stars and I think is great with Sam Rivers as tenor saxophone,soprano saxophone and flute.I wonder if Same Mother is worthwhile...Anyone who heard it and recommend?

Just listening to "Eat a Peach" and have been absolutely swept along by the drum solo on "Mountain jam". Mind you I suppose pedantically it's not a solo as there are two drummers at work, but it is still bloody brilliant. Is it the Naim "pr&t" at work? Does anyone else have any favourite solos? "Toad" obviously. Any others spring to mind? Or I am just the sad git who sat through them when everyone else headed to the bar at a gig?

Anybody hear heard the Beth Rowley EPs? I saw her live last Sunday supporting the mighty Duke Special in Manchester. What a great voice. Plenty of stuff on Youtube if anyone is interested. She won't be tearing up the charts any time soon but so what?...

I have the 1997, single bit mapped, stock release which I use to test my tubes and speaker placement. In any case, I noticed that on the head of the second cut, Freddie Freeloader, Miles' seems a disembodied head, Philly Joe is louder and further...

Kate Walsh's new album Tims Place is a stunner, never really hear of her before until she apeared on the Word free CD. Amazing voice, great songs and also rather a looker.

Absolutely marvellous early stuff after the demise of Joy Division and indeed I saw them on their first tour (I think) at the Mayfair in Newcastle. Are they still relevant? Story hereregardsDiccus

Out of five CDs I bought yesterday, 4 of them have hidden tracks. Bloody anoying or what? The new Travis album "The boy with no name" has two, which are advertised on the front lable, but why bother? Why not just add the two tracks to the playlist. I...

HiI recently bought the de luxe edition If I could only remember my name. (great album) It is made in the USA and says hdcd on the cover and CD. This CD is not decoding on my CDX player (all others do), that means it does not show hdcd on the display...
