Hi Folks,What are the most melodious records you havein genres of jazz, rock and fusion ?cheers,

It is such a good singer!Am I right?

OK. this is one for White Stripes fans only, but I hope I am not the only one to find this something to look forward to The new album “Get behind me Satan” is not being released on vinyl at the same time as the CD. But Jack & Meg will be returning to the studio, after touring, to record the whole album live and in one take. The result of this will be released on vinyl only. Has an album ever been recorded like this before? John.

Apparently from Norway and popular in Germany?I'll admit I saw the CD in the jazz section with a pretty face in a quirky composition on the cover and it caught my eye

This looks like a good deal for a Foreigner compilation CD.I've ordered a copy.John.

If you want to get some idea of Beethoven and don't want to buy CD's try the BBC/Radio-3 dowloads which will only last for [I can't remember] two or three weeks .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/beethoven/downloads.shtml It's quite hard to find the link .... James

Seeing on bbc.co.uk that Coldplay will be braodcast 'live in concert' got me thinking about the BBC's 'sight and sound in concert' from the early 1970's (?). The concept was audio via that new fangled medium of stereo radio, images via the telly....

Danish Radio has been having a Chinese week and I've been enjoying the Chinese classical instruments and their music and Chinese-inspired classical and jazz music by Western composers and performers. I caught Lang Lang's Rachmaninov Paganini...

Caught "The Tears" at Shep Bush Empire last night, I'd forgotten what a great player Bernard Butler is, I haven't heard a guitar wound up like that for ages! Go see em.Chris

Since making them a subject of a question within the New Fangled Pop Quiz thingy discussion I have been listening to their "In Search of Plaice" recording almost every day - it is so seriously laid back space rock sort of whatever. Awesome...

I'm a big fan of Bernstein's mass (and, indeed, Bernstein in general) so I was interested to pick up Nagano's new recording, despite a poor (but, it turns out, accurate) review in Gramophone.It may seem like an odd criticism, but Nagano's Mass is more...

It finally arrived. The Decca cycle includes some early recordings of Mr Gulda, encompassing recordings ranging from 1950 (the Les Adieux) when Gulda was a mere twenty up through 1958. This cycle is therefore very much a young man’s take on the...

I have been playing this in my car since I bought it a couple of weeks ago & was looking forward to hearing it on my system at home Rega Planet,72/Hicap/140/Keilidhs , what a dissapointment ,I had to have the volume control way past 12 o/clock before...

Any decent software available free or cheaply ,I have been using a trail version of Music Collector But the database does not contain U.K. vynil versions of the records I have !

I bought this guy's eponymous debut album around 86 and the follow up 'Man with the blue.....guitar' in 89. Both are absolutely superb. Countryish ( Americana??) in the style of Ry Cooder and John Hiatt (Both of whom appear on the albums). I then...

I bought this CD on impulse today because (a) I liked the grey/darker grey cover and (b) it had high praise indeed on a little sticker of excerpts from reviews in Q, Time Out and (London) Evening Standard.Am now playing it through for the second time...
