Here's the original thread.I figured it was about time I listen to more of Ms Nakamichi’s on-going Elveebee sonata cycle, and a big ol’ order from my good friends at HMV Japan provided the right opportunity for doing so. Nine volumes are...

Heard a very attracting song sung in Portuguese language, in the car today. Could have been Brazilian or from Portugal... Here name started with Rosan(n)a, and she must have died, just a few days or weeks ago. Google couldn't help, maybe somebody here...

Has anyone listened to this yet?Is it me, or is the recording quality as harsh and compressed as "Hot Fuss"?Shame, because I like the music and cranking it up becomes hard to listen to after 10 o'clock.Conversely, a best of ZZ Top - Rancho Texicano,...

Well no, it's rubbish. But it's better than anything Floyd released. Maybe it's so bad becausde Pink Floyd officially sanctioned the use of the sample

Any EB fans, I recently bought "Spirit & the Blues" some of which I really like, but overall there is a bit too much gospel for an old sinner like me. How do some of his other albums compare? Steve

I can't decide whether she's good or whether there's nothing in there of substance. Sounds pretty, but is that enough? Any views?

I'm sorry, but what's this about...? Edit (after Fredrik's post) : I thought REM's Michael Stipe looked a wally in war paint. I think Fredrik might just be right - perhaps Adam Ant and Kennedy have quite a lot in common?

Does anyone know if their eponymously titled album is available on vinyl anywhere? I heard them playing in the Linn room at the Heathrow show and now I have to buy the record.ThanksMark

after a suggestion,i thought it may be wise to split up the "what was the last album you bought" topic into 2. so to kick it off black eyed peas--shut up 12" [This message was edited by AL4N on Sat 13 March 2004 at 18:35.]

Any recommendations ?Best regards

Has anyone got any music with titles (not just LP titles) that really stand out for whatever reason be it humourous, surreal, crazy or just cool.I'll start if anyone can be boshed.Yo La Tengo's new album started me thinking I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU AND...

I'm off to the French Pyrenees next year in early August and am hoping to catch the festival. Has anyone been and if so, what is it like?RegardsMark

This post is a follow-up of sorts to this one.I so enjoyed Robert Silverman’s complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle I procured earlier this year that when I learned he had recorded the Diabelli Variations, I determined to get my hands on the...

There are some who abhor the very notion of discs of exerts, highlights or chunks and, for the most part, I am one of them - certainly, I can think of little that would tempt me to buy a disc of collected Mozart arias or, worse, overtures. Yet,...

As a second generation baby boomer, some of my favourite rock music comes from the late sixties/early seventies. I've been listening to Cream and JH Experience this evening and it occurs to me that the recorded sounds then of the drums produced a...

has anyone seen 'Drum lessons 25th anniversary' - Basically a Drumming video, featuring Steve Smith, Victor Wooten (bass), and steve gadd.I downloaded this with limewire, it is fantastic, Steve Smith and Victor Wooten play a session together that is...

Good God.Someone please make them stop making 'records'.

I have been enjoying the first three volumes of Ronald Brautigam's BIS fortepiano recordings of Beethoven's sonatas--he's up through Op.22 so far. Very impressive and powerful playing--kinda reminds me of what Gulda might have turned out if he had a...

I have always preferred female vocalists to male vocalists. I'm not saying all male vocalists are bad as you only have to listen to Robert Wyatt and such myths are dispelled. However, what I was hoping to get on this thread was some views on...

Anyone looking for the excuse to complete their (CD) collection could do worse than look at at the moment. Most are available at £3.99 with Lamb Lies Down at £4.49. Also some Tom Waits and Steely Dan that might be of interest (well they...

I am in a position where I wish I could lend the records I buy home for a listen before I buy them. The big monster of digital remix has hit Pet Sounds by Beach Boys. I found a record with both the mono and stereo version. I can`t stand listening to...

At the recent Heathrow show 'Absolute Sounds' played a track from a compilation CD-R by Chris Jones called 'No Sanctuary Here' which sounded like a bloody good recording. I've tracked it down to an album called 'Roadhouses and Automobiles' - but it's...

Dear music lovers!I've spent evenings tryin' to find some prints of this pianist but found nothing.Anybody have some links to pass me?Thanks a lot!Gianluigi
