Music Room

Going to an auction tonight and they have a signd copy of this album with a reserve of £450.00 that seems a bit on the high side if you ask me.

I had a feeling Anderszewski would be remarkable in this repertoire. I was right. Since ordering this just over a week ago, I relistened to the two Martins in this repertoire to prepare myself. As expected, I prefer Mr Roscoe to Mr Jones, though I...

HiWe finally have Antonio's long awaited brand new studio album!Tears of Joy - Naim CD087 - is an awesome mixture of utterly compelling original material which features:Jenny Adejayan - celloAdriano Adewale - percussionIgor Outkine - accordion plus...

.... really are cruddy.Have just watched their latest effort on TOTP. Strikes me as rather akin to the Emperor's New Clothes: if you don't worship them, there's f*ck all there.But, as noted in an earlier post, I don't get to do Gwyneth Paltrow.G

Morning folks,just wondered what album/s have found themselves stuck in the spinner after so many years gathering dust on the rack......For me it would have to be Primal Scream's - Screamadelica.Maybe something to do with the hot weather, and chilled...

Heres the thing, I like Yes.No I do.What I like is the big songs, the 'close to the edges' and 'revealing science of gods'Long tunes, that need a bit of work but once in the mind stay there forever.Most of todays music seems to be 3 minutes long. I...

aha!!!! i see we have a release dat for the live double CD

Hi, has any one bought this for CD replay and found it an improvement on the original.I have Shangrila on SACD hybrid and plain old CD and the Hybrid disc sounds much better on CD replay than the pure CD disc.David

I was wondering if any forum members could help me with this track. It has a piano backing that does not follow the melody of the song and seems complex and quite differant in tempo. My question is whether Nina was playing the piano on the recording,...

Scuse my ignorance but whats the difference between SACD and HDCD if there is one?I am thinking of upgrading my cd5/fc2x for a 5x/fc2x but only really if there is a noticable difference in sound with SACD/HDCD on a 5x.Regards Jason

Why, oh why does this this record not get a release on CD. Just heard 'Down by the borderline' on Stuart Maconie's 6 music show. True genius, had to dig out my old cassette recorded from vinyl about twenty years ago. It goes for silly money whenever...

If you want to try something a bit different, why not have a listen to some New Zealand artists? I am currently enjoying a CD by a lady called Whirimako Black. I challenge you to find a better new, easy listening album than this. Another one worth an...

Noticed yet another version of KOB in the shops, but with an additional take of Flamenco Sketches. Has the CD been remastered again? I currently have the Master Sound Collectors Edition (Gold CD). Anyone compared the versions?Thanks

Any early opinions on Don't Believe The Truth by Oasis?Jonathan

Does anyone have a view on which CD provides the best recording of this piece of music? There are so many versions out there I don't know where to start.

Hi allI'm trying to build a new cd collection to go with a renewed interest in all things musical.Following recommendations on this and the "other" forum, I have just purchased Tom McCrae's album of the same name,brilliant just brilliant.Whats your...

For those of you who don't already know, R3 is currently embarking on an interesting project to broadcast the complete works of Beethoven, back to back, over the next few days. While there are some oddities in the scheduling (probably due to a desire...

Some of you may be aware that Japanese made CD's (as with vinyl) offer the ultimate packaging and sound quality.I've just used HMV Japan for the first time. Prices are in Yen and the postage costs are a bit steep.My first order of two discs arrived...

Did anyone here go?She sang a song with the lyric "Mother I think you read me wrong" that was absolutely blinding.Unfortunately this is not on any of her albums and I think (from Alison's mumbled on-stage introduction) may have originally been sung by...
