Dear Friends,All of us have favourite things in the happy sense, and sometimes that is what one wants, but I find the reflective, sad, and regretful is far more potent. Not for every day, but certainly the effect can be Cathartic. One comes away not...
I know this is a bit late as he passed away in February from cancer but was still saddened to hear this when I read about it in last months Q magazine.I guess his most famous song was 'sexy cinderella' which brings back fond memories for me, he also...
Hi all,just wondering if any of you have any newer versions of oygene or equinoxe on cd.the reson i ask is that i already own them in a box set from the late 80's on cd, but would like to hear rematered versions.can anyone recommend which versions to...
ClickSo how do you use yours?
One of the bigger disappointments in my exploration of Beethoven piano sonata cycles is Anton Kuerti’s mid-70s cycle. While Kuerti definitely has the chops to play what he wants the way he wants, what he wants is often unpleasant and...
and it's not the Da Vinci code.My recent ECM excursion has brought me some aAD cd's and some DDD cd's. I have noticed before some of my Beatles cd's are AAD for the earlier and ADD for the later.I know what they mean as they are explained on the cd...
dear friends of the well written song,give yourself a treat and listen to richard julian/slow new york 13 pieces + 1 intermezzo.let me put in the words of the winegeeks:some clear notes of leonard cohen, with hints of tom waits, mother earth and marc...
The new Gotan Project album (Lunatico) is thoroughly excellent (and possibly even better and more accomplished than the mega-selling Revancha del Tango, albeit somewhat 'more of the same').Even better news is that the vinyl pressing is tip-top quality...
I was rummaging through the CD collection and stumbled upon an old impulse buy from a bargain bin: The Steampackets featuring Rod Stewart. I have just finished listening to it and wow, I'm quite impressed. First of all, the recording and production is...
Then head for Fujiya and Miyagi's (they're British!) 'Transparent Things'.It was playing when I visited my local HMV CD store today, and I loved it.Classified under 'Dance'. Any other devotees hereabouts?John.
Dear Fredrik,Was browsing amazon and I came across this and wondered what you made of it? Judging by the number of discs, looks to me like it could be an out of copyright reissue of the original masters set - if so, looks like something of a bargain....

Perhaps not necessary as those recordings don't need to be "touched". The 13 studio albums by CAN out now remastered . http://www.mute.com/allNews.js...48&topItemId=5459941
The album Fires has a number of great tracks. Great voice and loads of heart and intelligence in the songs. It is getting loads of air time on my system. Very much recommended.
Just given this a spin... I like it, BUT...the engineer should be summarily flogged. Is it just me (or my copy) or has this been compressed to within an inch of it's life!!Aaargh!
Lori Carson does some vocals, well speaks some texts on a brilliant ambient album by Bill Laswell called City of Light. I know that she is a singer/songwriter but I've never heard her own stuff. I've always got the feeling she might be one of those...
WOWMy son James got this on the release date, (yesterday) and have to say it's amazingly good! 28 tracks with no fillers (IMHO) on this double CD - great music and a quality rock recording included as well! The Chili Peppers have put a lot into this...
I bought the "Shining like a National Guitar" for Mrs Sloop. She has just asked me if I have any other solo Simon. I do have Graceland on vinyl but no others.What albums form his back catalogue would you recommend?ThanksJohnSJB
The title, for me, says it all. It is motivated by the liner notes of several sets of mine, all of which seem to start off by excusing the conductor "he may have been known for his Bruckner but his Beethoven/Brahms/Haydn (delete as appropriate) is...
I've just finished listening to a rather old, crackley copy of Meddle. Life doesn't get much better Sorry, but I had to share it with someone
Following comments in another thread, I wonder. The liner notes of my mono cycle of Brahms symphonies with Eugen Jochum note that he "must have been bitterly disappointed" at being passed over for the job when Furtwangler died. Of course, Karajan got...
Dear Friends,Feeling bloody grim this morning, and trying (unsuccessfully) to make myself feel better ready for work, I drank tea and listened to Elijah.I am very fond of this old War Horse. I had a recording under F R de Bourgos as a child, even...
