Did any Wilco enthusiast make the transition from Summerteeth to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot; and if so, can they tell me how ?
Ah, serendipity – it can be downright serendipitous! Earlier this week, whilst picking up András Schiff’s disappointing first installment of his LvB sonata cycle, I happened upon a used copy of Austrian pianist Paul...
Dear Friends,Whatever one maythink of the standard of debate, here, which I think is often rather fine, there is occasionally the chance to find some like minded person who genuinely shares one's own, perhaps slightly eccentric enthusiasm in this...
Too slow. That’s been a criticism I’ve seen attributed to Anton Kuerti’s cycle by several people. The criticism is well founded, at least on the evidence of the first batch of sonatas. Until now, Kuerti is a name I’d only seen...

A really nice bloke at Studio 99 gave me a copy of this years ago - it really is an excellent CD, the title track track in particular is really wonderful.Had a look for the CD last night and I can't find it!
I got this earlier in the summer and have just realised it's the album I have played most in years.It really is very, very good.
Some told me that there was an album out that had nothing but cuts of the song "Summertime" by various artists. That got me thinking about what song would I choose to fill a whole disc up with, and so far what I've come up this is "Dark End of the...
As a sort of personal tribute to JH's passing just over 35 years ago, I've spent a lot of time over the past couple of months reading about, and listening to, all I can about this extraordinary man.I've come up with my all-time Hendrix classic...
Caught this article which may be of interest to some:- SpiritsNot sure if it's his bag but maybe even DS may be missing some of these. Howard
Great new EP on repeat play at home all week, Iron+Wine/Calexico: In The Reins.Excellent collaboration, feels like a very comfortable marriage on seven tracks of dusty, atmopsheric alt.amerciana.That's two excellent Iron+Wine EP's now, 'The Woman...
Can't believe it's already 20 (25 years actually, never could do mental arithmetic) years since John Bonham shuffled this mortal coil. Was listening to "When the levee breaks" in an at-home on my own Hurrican tribute concert (Dr. John, The Meters,...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/bruce/ 37 mins into the show and get to hear the first public broadcast of the forthcoming single 'king of the mountain'.It sounds great at 38kbps. Can't wait for this.Maybe a touch premature to say but this sounds...
Did anyone go to this? I was really disappointed by most of it. They punctuated the acts with readings from ‘Chronicles’, which, whilst highlighting Dylan’s brilliance, also inadvertently served to demonstrate the lack personality...
My son is starting to mark his Christmas territory and this is being mentioned most often. What's the score? He got an Xbox last year so I'm extremely reluctant to consider changing but I'm curious to know what it's all about.
9:00 pm BBC FOUR Sessions: Loudon Wainwright IIIA specially staged concert from Bush Hall featuring Loudon playing tracks from his latest album, Here Come the Choppers, alongside such classics as One Man Guy and I'm Alright. 10:00 pm Loudon...
For Stax earspeaker users, I wonder if any of you have a demonstration disc which was recorded using a "dummy head" with a microphone stuck up it's, er, neck I read somewhere that there are 4 of these suckers out there but I've only ever seen/heard...
I'm new to this forum. So I'm unsure if the following question has been answered or not. In any case, I'd like to ask for some information regarding Japanese CD's.I'd like to know if Japanese CD's are better sounding and better manufactured compared...
Well, we've had threads for concertos, symphonies and solo piano music. Let's turn our attention to choral work. I'm primarily thinking of masses and the like (not lieder, though there is probably another thread in that, though not one I'm...
Has anyone heard these - are they that much better than the orininal Spoon reissues as these have dropped to £7 less on the Mute site ?Also , I've read somewhere that can be a problem playing dual-layer on cdp - is this the case ... using a 5x ...
Anyone who's a fan of either will probably already have some or all of Mackerras's benchmark Janacek opera cycle recorded with the VPO around 25 years ago. I've been waiting for them to stick them in a budget box for ages, and decca just have (just...
Hi there,My listening tastes are fairly varied (if I say so myself) - practically anything will get a spin except Opera or Country/Western.However, my tastes over the last couple of years have moved towards the ambient/IDM end of the musical spectrum,...
