I´ve just bought "Stabbing the drama".It´s a great album.Anyone out there that knows this band?What is your opinion about them?

Entitled Minimum Maximum it's a live album from the 2004 tour.Available as a 4-LP set, a double CD, SACD and as a double DVD set.Tracklist (provisional): Intro/Man Machine/Expo 2000/Tour de France 03/Vitamin/Tour de France 83/Autobahn/Model/Neon...

Here’s another set that I knew I’d buy as soon as I saw it was released. Erich Kleiber is one of my very favorite conductors, and at his best he is simply unsurpassable. Why, he even made a Fidelio that I love! Indeed, of all the...

Sorry, another Mahler thread.Not out officially until Monday, but those nice chaps in Bath Compact Discs let me have one (silly rules, they can sell it but not stick it on display ).Anyway, just done listening to it and it's absolutely fantastic...

This has just been released on CD and supposedly includes 2 new tracks... However, I know that there are actually 3 new tracks (Here Today, Gone Tomorrow; Space Oddity and Time) compared to the vinyl version I have.Is it me, or has someone from EMI...

They are the new Coldplay?What you think about this new band and his cd?I wonder if I might buy his new cd...

I am a big ECM records fan. I love the atmospheric and beautiful sound of so many of their quality recordings. I have a number of favourite ECM recordings and would like to know what other ECM recordings my fellow Naim colleagues might recommend.Here...

I recently bought a sample EP with, amongst others Cheikha Rimitti; brilliant!A google told me she is the queen of Rai music. Can anyone recommend me any of her albums and which other Rai artists I should try?Thanks,Peter

Think FloydI saw them play in Norwich last night.An interesting comparison with Pink Fraud who I also saw recently. 'Think' put on a more impressive show; complete with about 20 kids from a local school to do that song from 'The Wall'. Good light show...

Hello everybody peepsHave been listening to my three Dead live CDs (Live/Dead, Europe 72 and Without a Net) recently and have been enjoying them immensely.Does anyone have any other live album recommendations? There are quite a few, and I know some of...

any one know seen the Adidas advert, sort of a dream sequence. Who does the music? It reminds me a bit of Portishead, but different, if you know what I mean,John.

Help NeededI've heard that some one at the Manchester Hi-Fi show had a Shawn Smith solo album that was a finished copy and not just a CD-R.It was my belief that Nick DiDia's label 818 Records was a download site, but did it issue 'finished' albums? If...

A few years ago I heard the album Saints & Sinners by All Saints, a teeny pop girl band. The album is brilliant, and 2 tracks especially, Pure Shores & Black Coffee are masterpieces, or close to anyway. This morning on the radio I heard a track that made me stop and listen, and it turned out to be Anastacia. Now I have heard a couple of her songs on the telly etc, and I thought before that her music was worth buying, but what I heard today makes me want to go out and buy a CD. But I can't...

Here in OZ the original Daddy Cool have reformed. The "Eagle Rock" lives again but it never really went away.What other groups are coming back for more?. As we grow older does nostalgia play an ever increasing part in our musical tastes?Lets face it...

I read in this months UNCUT that Scorsese's three and a half hour Dylan documentary is to be screened by the BBC in September. He has had access to 60 hours of 'Don't Look Back' outtakes and Columbia is releasing two-disc set of previously unreleased...

ChapsI purchased the G4 Cd yesterday. You may recall G4 are a quartet who won a recent television talent contest. This is their first release.The music is mixed, ranging from Bohemian Rhapsody through to Jurusalem through to Life on Mars.The quartet...

Anyone interested in either of the above would do well to check out this months bbc music magazine (fairly lousy magazine from the point of view of any written content) since the complete symphony as recorded by Mackerras and the BBC philharmonic.He...

Queen and Clapton,What about them? I like to play Bohemian Rhapsody really loud in the car home from work; and yes I do the head banging too, great fun when you’re in a traffic jam.I’ve got 461 Ocean Boulevard and unplugged and I like...

Slow day at work; I invented a time travel machine.Finally your chance to see three concerts you missed:Mine are:1. Beethoven premiere of the 4th symphony 1807 (I think); This symphony seems strangely underrated; I find it an extremely exciting piece...

Did the play last night (a local festival) on stage - the play itself went well, in fact I found the whole production very moving - the last piece of music was an extract from the 2nd movement of the 3rd symphony, as I sat there on stage and this...

Please someone put me out of my pain and let me know what this music is.JonoPS Mick P - Hows my old Galaxy holding up in the snow?

Hi,I know you can find this information for classical music in magazines i.e. all the best versions of Holst's The Planets, who conducted and the record #'s etc.But is this information avalible on the web for more commercial music? I am looking for...

I already own all the Steely Dan material in one form or another and generally the sound quality is excellent. However, I gave the original Pretzel Logic vinyl a spin the other day (OK it's probably 30 years old!!) and decided an investment in a...

So, while you're all thinking about my previous post for your ONLY desert island disc, ponder this.You've been sent to Hell and Old Nick is softening you up with repeat playings of your LEAST FAVOURITE music. What would he choose?In my case, I'd...
