Hi all!Does anybody know the link?The one i have doesn't work anymore.Thanks a lot!Gianluigi

When I was a young man in the 80's, I remember seeing one of her videos and being amazed. Of course no self respecting music lover/musician could mention her name without drawing a smirk or a chortle. All of this I mention because over the years I...

Pip Pyle was a very important figure in music and contributed a great deal to my life through his music. He'll be sadly missed. THE drummer of the Canterbury scene. As Hatfield and the North's drummer, Pip Pyle deserves mention as one of the greatest...

Is it just me or do they all contain at least one of the following words?LordLadyMaidBeggarGypsyStableSteedSeaMaidenheadJonathanPS I've had a long week listening to the Carthy's et al.

The subject says it all ? Any help for the dearly beloved to get a CD set. Must be sung in Russian.Ian

The classical guitar is a very popular, but little heard instrument outside of its group of staunch supporters and players. In addition, it has a long history going back as far as 1600 BC according to some historians.There has always been sporadic...

I navigated over to www.allmusic.com today, and there, under "album of the day" - was 'fartwrangler' (thanks Joe Petrik) Beethoven's 9th Symphony. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg...?p=amg&sql=43:123029 perhaps I should try it.

I have just found out that the Gustav Holst estate is to sue Hans Zimmer for his composition, or at least in part, of his Gladiator film score. Apparently they consider it a blatant copy of the Mars movement in the Holst Planet suite. What rubbish as...

I'm glad I spent it with Naim.Perfect day today..New Bob Dylan Wowlbum, 2 bottles of a rather forward semillion chardonnay and a months worth of hifi magazines and sunday times newspapers and, of course my Naim equipment.As to Modern Times, Dylans...

Pluto is no longer a planet. Thank god, Holst did not compose for this, apparently, minor piece of trash surrounding the sun.Am I guilty of being a hopeless romantic because I like "Jupiter" so much because of its second melody?Same goes for Wagner's...

Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900. quote:That Music Always Round Me THAT music always round me, unceasing, unbeginning—yet long untaught I did not hear; But now the chorus I hear, and am elated; A tenor, strong, ascending,...

I'm sure this has been posted before but has anyone tried to play the Hungarian track "Gloomy Sunday" before?

I am a novice Opera listener and would like to listen to more but am not sure where to go. I like Tosca but have only a Renata Tebaldi copy which doesnt seem to have good audio quality. Any recommendations for a excellent Tosca?also i like Andea...

Songs From The Wood has been complimented more than once in here for the quality of the remaster. So it won’t come as a surprise to see a thumbs up coming from this direction. Magnificent. I don’t know how it was done, but it sounds like a...

I´ve been listening a few albuns of Dave Douglas and they are simple great.Much better than old records of Miles Davis or Coltrane.I don´t know if you share my opinions.Best

I recall a wonderful interview with Oscar Peterson when he described playing the piano in front of his father at the start of his career. When Oscar finished his father got up and put an old mono recording of Art Tatum on the gramophone. Oscar...

Admittedly, you had to wade through seven tons of shit but Ken Bruce has played three tracks from Modern Times on his R2 show this week. Sounds very much a continuation of Love and Theft, and none the worse for that. Can't wait till Monday, me.

Hi Friends,Could you recommend albums (jazz trio/quartet)that fulfills such demand ?Cheers,

Slightly off topic, so apologies.Has anyone had any experience of any of the music collection software available?What I am thinking of is something to manage the list of titles/artists/tracks etc. Could be useful from an isurance point of view and...

I have the chance to buy The Complete Columbia recording of Miles Davis with John Coltrane with a good discount.Is it worth-while?

Welcome back to 80's pop!Take one part Prefab Sprout, add a sprinkling of Deacon blue, throw in some addictive pop hooks, dig out the synthesisers and then let Trevor Horn twiddle the knobs and you have this album.Some may consider it over polished -...

I’ve been going through some of the records that I haven’t listened to for ages and I find myself transfixed by hardcore. I particularly love the hybrids – ambient hardcore (what a title) like Scorn or jazz hardcore like Painkiller...

I'm not a fan as such but Radio1's Blue Room played an acoustic session as part of a chilled mix on saturdays (12/08/06) show which I thought was excellent and very un-proclaimers like. hereI'm afraid I missed the time of the tracks so you may have to...
