The new album "Jackson Browne solo acoustic vol. 1" is quite good. Very good musically and sonically. JB's patter between songs is slightly tiresome, but not enough to detract from a fine overall effort, especially in contrast to the crap being pushed...

Dear Friends,I looked in vain for the 'What Cd have You Just Purchased' Thread. Silly me, probably!I have fond memories of going to my first ever concert in 1973 where the meat was Mozart's 40th Symphony, and the first half centered round the Flute...
Every night this week I have taken Cecilia Bartoli to bed and she sings me to sleep with 'Amarilli, mia bella' - by Guilio Caccini - written in 1601 and sublimely beautiful. Who do you sleep with? Sweetdreams,Erik

This is as over the top as it gets - ULTIMATE ZEP
The "vinyl replica" refers to the packaging but has anyone tried one of these?I'm thinking of some of the earlier Kate Bush albums specifically, but I wondered if these imports were sonically any better than the original CD releases.They are going for...
I was rather interested recently to notice that Radio 3's CD Masters is featuring Krauss as their vintage artist this week. I only met Krauss last summer (well, I say met, clearly that would be impossible since he died many years before I was born, so...
Wow.'At war with the Mystics' is a brilliant album. As left field as ever but with a more melodic heart to all the songs. There are some absolutely magical moments on an album that can swing from madness to moments of extreme beauty within a moment....

There is a new 10 disc DVD set of Chick Corea's live performances in various combos in New York - called Rendevouz In New York. I was tempted to get it, but was wondering if anyone here has seen it and has any info or opinions on it. It is a dollop...
Hello, I'm new-ish here, though some may know me from other fora.On Friday, I was listening to a recent acquisition; a 10-inch 'medium play' of Ansermet conducting the Swiss Romande Orchestra in a performance of Debussy's Nocturnes on Decca. I've not...

Picked up "Words Came Back To Me" at Starbucks this am and it quickly has become my favorite purchase of 2006, so far.All songs by Sonya. Instrumentation varies, to include acoustic guitars, piano, Hammond B-3, cello, mandolin, and bass and drums....
Hope this is the right Forum for this.Several years ago (about the same time people were realising that actually you could not spread jam on a CD and still listen to it) there was a rumour/scare put around that, after about 10 years, the inks used to...
