The new David Gray single (something about love or other) is bugging me as it sounds like a direct lift (tunewise) from Bruce Springsteen; he also affects a Bruce singing style also. Can anyone help with which track I am thinking of? Forum members...

I've been impressed by this on CD. Does anyone know if it's available on vinyl in the UK?Cheers Rich.

Has anyone bought that album?I heard one song on Montreal's Jazz radio station and rushed to the music store to buy the CD.Technically it was in the Jazz section but it's very hard to classify. I think it's definitely worth a listen.

I picked up the parliament 10" single CD the other day. Though they must have sold their synthesysers to Mattel and Fisherprice they have some amazing grooves.Judging by the cover the stage performances must have been amazing. Does anyone know if...

Hi all - I've asked this on PF too, but I do realise all the really knowledgable people are on here. I've been doing the Q Prog special crossword and I have all the answers bar one. I've a pretty good idea what the answer is, as I have E_R_ (4...

Does anyone know the music that the BBC are currently using in the trailers for the programme Messiah. Feel I know it but can't quite put a finger on it.TaIan

HelloWe have yet another superb release and addition to our catalogue.Swiss guitarist Nicolas Meier may be a new name here but his Meier Group are well known in Europe, having toured extensively in Switzerland, Italy and France. Now based in London,...

Whilst I've been aware of RT since his days with Fairport it's taken me 30 odd years to get into his work, to accustom to his deadpanflat voice, to understand the intricacies of his guitar playing.This new album is quite superb and deserving far more...

Well just got Supernature on CD, DVD(2PCM, 5.1DD, 5.1DTS) and vinyl on it's way but so far (due to re-decoration) only been able to listen to it through a TV.No single track as good as "Strict Machine" but all together a brilliant load of glam camp...

Hi,As a result of JonR's recent visit and this being one of the LP's he brought with him, I've purchased the CD, and its a definate grower.Being new to Thompson, I'm not sure what else to investigate, so what dou you suggest?andy c!

What is it that makes some music "cool" & some not? I'm not talking about the extremes like the Crazy frog, or Boy/Girl bands etc, just good music that's never quite made it to the "cool list" (for want of a better term) somehow. Any theories on why you think that happens? Anyone else got any examples of music they genuinely like, but is somehow regarded by others as "uncool" to like? Not just looking for lists here, but also theories on why "X" is cool but "Y" isn't. To kick things off,...

Don't know whether there are any SLAG fans on this board or not - might be somewhat dating myself here.Anyway, had to share my joy at finding a pristine copy of "Total Sound" LP at the local s/h store. Recorded live in a 15 meters square studio at NOS...

Went to their 2005 Tour of Sacred Places gig in Machynlleth on Wednesday evening. It was a fabulous concert, three very talented musicians all having fun, playing a wide range of modern and classically inspired jazz pieces.Their website is...

Am I right in saying 1964 was the best year ever for Number 1 singles (a few stinkers but generally great. Esp 2nd half of the year) and 2001 was the worst (A couple of Shaggy cover versions being the best it had to offer)?Lets debate and try and come...

Just came home with a copy of Careless Love by Madeleine Peyroux, bought on spec. after a hard day's shopping (well, OK, a hard-ish hours shopping, but I hate shopping, so it seemed like a day...). Put it in the CD player, sat down, pressed play, and...

On the hunt is supposed to be a tribute to Free's "the hunter". The riff sounds more like "Woman" to me. Any Skynyrd fans out there care to comment? Whatever, I can't believe I've only just acquired this record today having been a fan for 20 odd...

I'm off to see him and his band play in Brighton tomorrow. Not quite sure what to expect, as he looked completely loony in the shots I saw of him at Glastonbury and Live8 (Germany).Anyone else seen him recently or going along tomorrow?Will post after...

Hello all,having recently bought these two for a bargain.... The Rotel RDV-1060 DVD-A Player and RSX-1067 AV Receiver....I was wondering where others on here buy their DVD-A discs....??I do own a few already that I'd purchased from amazon (mainly for...

Nice to see one of my fav bands is putting a new CD out in Oct and following it up with a tour in 2006 - tickets booked!According to the website the new CD will be more 'violator' and 'songs of faith and devotion' like that the last release,...

All you Naim folk down under should check out their live show. I got to see them a couple of weeks ago Stateside and they are as good as ever.The band is quite good, a mate of mine named Mike Pope is on bass and he is a brilliant player.Here is their...

Legendary punk band Big Boys singer was found dead in his Austin home two days ago. Cause of death is unknown at this time. A weird coincidence is that he was featured on the cover of The Austin Chronicle this week.Randy "Biscuit" Turner was a great...
