Music Room

There was a time when everything Adrian Sherwood touched would be guaranteed to be stunning. But over the last few years he lost it – his records were basically not very good. OK they were as good as things produced by other people but not up to his...

Hi Mates,In your opinion what are the best Cd albumswhich have very vell recorded and most memorabledrum/percussion solos in the genre of rock/jazz/fusion music ?Best regards

Hello everyone,While my tastes tend to lean more toward 60's bluenote and post-bop, I think that Ellington's band with Jimmy Blanton and Ben Webster made some of the most amazing music in the history of jazz. I own the following RCA issue of this...

now that i am using a cds3 it has become far more apparent that certain recordings on cd are far better than others, in fact some recordings are absolutely crap where as others are fantastic. i just wondered if other members of the forum find the same...

Silje Nergaard?I've just heard an awesome track by her on disk 1 of "Chilled Jazz". Looking at her website she's received critical acclaim within the European jazz world. I'm keen to learn/hear more...Graham.

I am a big Drake fan, but I must admit, over the last couple of years, I have not listend to him that much for two real reasons, first of all, my wife does not like him, secondly I often put on music I know less well as it seems silly to play the same...

I know I know but couldn't resist it.At this time of year and the fact that I am not the only person in my house so CD's come out to play!But please please wife not Pop Idol do Xmas! over to you guy'sJohn

I've collected a few of this guy's albums now. The star of the show for me is 'Live in Aught-Three' which does exactly what it says on the tin. I guess it's raw edged American alt-country with attitude and great lyrics.Get a 'You Tube' sample of '60...

Hospital Mix Vol 5: Remixed by London Elektricity.Another great album by London Elektricity and Hospital Records, and it’s mid-priced as well. Adam F and Ed Rush and Optical don’t seem to be doing much at the moment, so it seems to be down...

According to the new edition of Mojo, this is a great development of the Beatles' output. Has anyone heard it, in order to express a reasoned view?Graham

Can anyone please tell us what the extra stuff is on the Joni THOSL-CAS-Hejira re-doings released supposedly next week (I've found no help so far anywhere on web).

Has anyone got the newer BOC album GEOGADDI?Is it any good? Also I was thinking of getting "The music has a right to children" but not sure whether to get it on CD or LP. Sometimes ambient music is better suited to CD(?) - you can kinda fall asleep to it.

Heard some the other day but know nothing about it or artists,can anyone recommend some good stuff to listen to (preferably available on vinyl).PS whats the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel (no funny jokers if you please), thanks.

The Beautiful South have announced they are to split up - on their MySpace page the band have announced that they are splitting due to musical similarities. Bass player Sean Welch, also logged onto the band’s official message boards as Pudding...

I picked up a 3 LP boxed set of this 2nd hand yesterday. I paid 8 quid for it. I was wondering if it might be worth more?The cover is a bit worn down the spine but the LPs are in excellent condition. There are track listing notes printed on the inside...

But thought better of it after checking the album for warps ,I thought it was a Two disc set which it is but ,only one side of each disc is is used for the music the other sides appear to have been attacked with a Stanley knife ,I asked the assistant...

If you had only one CD or LP from this artist which one would you choose?Recommendations please.Russell

I missed the second show but I watched the third over the weekend. Interesting to see that B&W now sponsor the programme with adverts during the breaks. I guess it makes sense with their Abbey Road connections. Out of interest Massive Attack and Dr John are on this week. there are some clips HERE

I have a lady friend who thinks that Vivaldi's Four Seasons is the best thing she has ever heard. Can any of the classical buffs here suggest any other works that she might like, that I could bring to her attention ?
