Composer Brent Michael Davis suffering from Tinnitus (constant ringing in the ear) talks about his composition 'Tinnitus Quartet' that was inspired by his medical condition.Does any of you (like me) suffer from this ...
A quite superb singer/songwriter, who released two epic albums in the early 1970's and then disappeared from sight.His two albums have just been re-released on CD and were rapturously reviewed in Mojo. Quite wonderful, and it's very surprising to me...
Dear Friends,I have been wondering however to describe the two most significant Bach recordings I have become aquainted with this year. I speak of the Helmut Walcha's recordings of the Art Of Fugue and Golberg Variations, on Baroque Organ and...
Just heard Chris Whitley has died at the tragically young age of 45.
I am not a fan but on vinyl this album sounds fantastic. Max 3 songs on one side gives great sound! It`s called "Playing the angel". Let the party begin.
After arriving at the same point in both of these cycles, I figured a direct comparison between the two sets seemed like a good idea. Certainly up to this point I prefer PBS’ approach. Anton Kuerti is too willful, eccentric, or egocentric,...
Yoiks! There's a new, young band that I actually like!I just got the Clientele's new album on CD, Strange Geometry; atmospheric, tremoloed guitars meld occasionally with the pukka string arrangements (courtesy of the incomparable Louis Phillipe),...
Kate Bush Day - official.Gawd knows why they can't release cds on a Saturday when I'm, conveniently, out shopping; no it has to be on a work day so the charts can be "massaged".But for la Bush I'll make the one exception, so it's off to my dedicated...
I just got back from Japan about 8 hours ago and .... I've gotta go back..some how.... Records records everywhere. At a decent price. For those who go there, check out the record scene Jag
Ok - I'm sure somebody will tell me that there was a thread about this album about six months ago. Nevertheless it is an absolute jem. This Canadian outfit deliver music which has an emotion and energy far to absent from much of todays music. Imagine...
heard recently....piece of music with a lyric along the lines of... "go to the rocks and the rocks will burn...go to the se and the sea will boil...." Any ideas who this is & what record it's off??
Some interesting stuff Here & also here regarding recent calls from a lot of computer users of very bad practice by Sony ref some rather malicious & ultimately dangerous code put onto pc's via the 'player' used for the protected cd's. Get you cd's changed to UN protected ones for free via the second list. Back to the drawing board for those guys I guess.
Did I miss it or did they go through a programme about the supposed best groups in the world and not mention Half Man, Half Biscuit and oversight surely. For Channel4's Hall of Fame, cluck here For Rotf's Hall of Fame, please click here or here -...
Three listens in and I am enjoying this new studio album so much. The classic melodic quality to his compositions, arrangements and orchestrations is still there in spades. The production is delicious and all the playing is great. Elvis Costello,...
Dear Friends,This is a chestnut, which I have never seen dealt with here.Clearly the is no physical reason why the keyboard works of JS Bach cannot actually be played on the piano, though interestingly no one seems to have attempted to find a piano...
Well, last months had two different CD's depending on which you bought that varied by one track. This months has two completely different CD's but in both cases you have to buy the same magazine twice. Rip off central.End of rant
I need some help.I have been left with a poseur of a question. Identifying the identity of a client's mother. She was a sixties female singer. She was very much of the London scene. The list of friends (all male so as not to compromise the question)...
What a thoroughly fantastic record this is!I bought it on the strength of an e-mail from Anna with the Guardian review in it (or linked) and partly on a whim, partly to stop me overplaying the Kate Bush record (which I like). In true Naim style it...
In a couple of weeks I'll take possession of my newly built-up vintage LP12. This will be my first venture into vinyl since I was a kid with a plastic portable and I intend to mark the event with a session of "A Love Supreme". (This return to vinyl...
Does anybody have a recommendation for a CD (not SACD/DVD Audio) with top-notch performance/sound quality of Vivaldi "Four Seasons" (not too original I know, but the person who receive it will like it)? It should be a gift to someone who doesn't have...
i need help in identifying a song from a few lyrics heard coming out of the shower last week whilst on holiday in FL...reggae/root beat...come to the rocks and the rocks will burn...come to the sea and the sea will boil...this is certainly...
HiI just purchased Beethovens 5th with Kleiber/Wiener Philarmonic (DG 1973)and Karajan/Berliner Philarmonic (DG 1962) for 1 £ each in a second hand furniture shop (not record shop...). Both are the orginal vinyl releases and they are in mint...
It is far from original etc etc but what a single. I have little time for Madge but every now and then she releases a great single - this is one of them!
Been away for two weeks so missed the Kate Bush interview on BBC Radio 4's Front Row on 4th November. I'm too late for the internet replay too.Did anyone record it ?
