Discovered an interesting jazz label:MA recordings http://www.marecordings.comIf you like the Naim Audio samplers that have been given away with Hi-Fi Choice magazine then you will like this label.I got the CD 'Naser' from my local library.Piano, Sax...
OK, this is going to be tough, folks...I heard her on the car radio and was blown away. And, I was sure, I wouldn't remember a THING at home: Neither her name, nor the song title. And, what can I say: I was right ! I do remember the tone of her voice...
This will not be news to those who've read my Edinburgh thread, but I thought I would give it an extra plug since these performances are not to be missed.Starting at 7:30 this evening, Radio 3 will be Broadcasting the Beethoven symphony cycle that...
Sad to hear Vivante are no longer trading. Heard from the Diverse Vinyl newsletter. When I had dealings with Vivante they performed excellently - but I found their website counter intuitive and Diverse stocked much the same records, so you go with the...
Just a heads up, tonight's prom features Charles Mackerras conducting the OAE (a rather fine partnership - their Schubert symphony recordings are very good, and I heard them give a rather good concert a two years or so ago).They will be playing...
I am mortified to hear that the blue room is coming to a close!this has been my weekend wake up/come home music for ever and I havent found a better mix of chilled out qurky toons since John Peel's producer phoned in sick one day in 1163B.C
Dear All,I managed to find the double cd of the original cast recording (1978) of Ain't Misbehavin'.It is truly unbelievable, some really unique voices. I really recommend buying it. The sound is also absolutely fabulous.CheersJack
Since my earlier thread has fallen victim to the forum's automatic locking (please change this!), I thought that rather than bother the moderators with an e-mail, I would start a new one).However, the reason I have started this thread now (and not...
I have just spotted, from the radio 3 website that the great Wagnerian soprano Astrid Varnay has died (for shame the BBC's news website for failing to notice).She had a wonderful voice and will perhaps be best remembered for her wonderful Brunnhildes...
What is it about Pink Floyd that inspires such loyalty and passion? I’m sorry but I just don’t get it. I was explaining to someone the other day that whenever I see the initials DSOTM I immediately think of the Dark Side of the Moog series...
I've been getting into jazz a lot more of late - what are your recommended classics?
Bruch's violin concerto sounded great. A live concert beats all the CD's and LP's every time.
Love Jaki Liebezeit drumming in Can, what albums are worth exploring in his post Can days? Just had a quick google and upto now found following activity 'Club of Chaos', worked with Jah Wobble, Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit - Secret Rhythms presumably there is more? Has he recorderd with David Sylvian? This Club of Chaos album sounds like it might be worth a punt? Gerard
Dear Friends,Do you know of good and reasonably pricedsources on the net who sell Japanese pressing CDs ?Cheers,
Version 7.1 is available now with the main change being freedb has been replaced with "Collectorz.com Music Database".Anyone tried it yet? I think this is the third database change and it's wearing a bit thin.I see the idea is for them to produce...
Not sure if this has been shown before.I will set the controls for the heart of some fun on my state of the arc VHS Details HereDenis
Did anyone hear Beethovan's 5th on the proms tonight.The double bases at the end of the 3rd and begining of the 4th movements were amazing.This was heavy rock music of the 19th century.I think the neighbours enjoyed it as well.Bruch's violin concerto...
I’ve been persuaded to take part in a boxing and savate tournament in France and I’m having trouble on choosing my ring entrance music. On the few occasions I’ve done this before I’ve used either The Ride of the Valkeries or...

Thom Yorke - The Eraser. I just cannot quite believe how bad this is!! Atonal, self indulgent, tuneless, terrible lyrics. Unbelievably this has been voted on the Mercury Prize short list, have they actually listened to it? I bought this on vinyl...
Spotted on my travels thru County Durham. Album sales that bad Liam? Diccus
It seems that Vivante - www.vivante.co.uk have gone into liquidation, you will be re-directed to the Audiophile candy website.RegardsChris N
The band are called Scanners, sound a bit like Garbage.I heard them play at a spit and saw dust venue a while ago. Great tight raw sound. Unlike some indie bands they can play their instruments.Sampler of their music availible on their site: ...
