Music Room
Jimmy Griffen from Bread (the group not TV sitcom). andSpencer Dryden drummer with Jeferson Airplane.Have both passed away.
I wondered if anyone tried this yet? Compared to cable tv (which I never watch) etc this sounds like a deal. I think I could fill "my queue" quite easily:http://www.yourmusic.com/enrollment/howitworks/
OutKast's quite extraordinary double CD The Love Below/Speakerboxxx is in the record shops' bargain bins at around a fiver at the moment. It is, in my view, an amazing record. It must be worth buying for what is probably the best single in years, "Hey...

This is my first post in this room. It might be a bit silly question, but nevertheless...I'm trying to broaden my musical horizon. Up to now I've almost exclusively listened to pop and classical music and only a bit to jazz. I want to explore jazz...
I just noticed in my local free sheet that AF is doing a concert close by on 2nd February. It's a pretty obscure venue but if the mods don't mind I can post details for anyone interested in attending. I'm not sure of protocol in these matters.I shall...
I've just celebrated the great man's birthday by playing what is probably his finest studio LP, the transcendant From Elvis In Memphis. For those who don't know, it contains some titanic vocal performances - Gentle On My Mind, In The Ghetto, Only The...
Just thought I'd recommend this guy to any of you that like Blues/country, singer-songwriter style music.He's done a swag of albums, all well recorded. There's mp3 tracks on his website to get an idea of each cd.www.theessink.comHans toured here in...
I've always liked my music. Since an early age, listening to dad's records and the Top 40 on a Sunday evening. Its always been part of my life. On the other hand I never go to the cinema and you could count the TV films I watch each year on the...
Just heard a track by Swayzak called Jeune Loup. Is this typical fare? I quite liked it, I suspect it will grow (if allowed).Howard
This for any ELP fans on the forum...IYHO what is the best-sounding version of Brain Salad Surgery available on CD?This was the album (along with Dark Side of the Moon and Walter Carlos' A Clockwork Orange) which got me interested in better stereo...
Other than the Amazon "people who brought.." thing, any suggestions on stuff worth a listen who are similar?cheers,Paul
If the rest of the disc is like the one sample in the music store I'd buy it but I just can't find anyplace to sample other tracks. Maybe this has been covered before but with such limited distribution of Naim CDs I think the company would be well...
I listen to nearly all types of music, apart from classical. I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me some recommendations for good sounding classical CD's that I can buy and enjoy on my system. Many thanks guys.
One of the best new bands to emerge in recent times in my opinion is E.S.T - The Esbjorn Svensson Trio.Recent records that they have issued such as Seven Days of Falling, Strange Place for Snow and Good Morning Suzie Soho have gained rave reviews and...
Do people here catalogue their record collections?If you do it on a computer, what software do you use?I began to do mine years ago, but gave up after entering a couple of hundred (and that was just the artist and album title).However, recently I...
Over the past several months I decided to relisten to all four versions of Les Troyens that grace my collection to reassess their relative strengths and weaknesses. Then, wouldn’t you know it, I picked up a new version. It’s all...
....died a couple of weeks ago.So, to mark his passing, I recommend his remarkable debut on Virgin Recods, "Marjory Razorblade". Good, old-fashioned live takes from The Manor in Oxford, as I understand.G

Savannah, our thirteen years old Ridgeback, sleeps in our bedroom. Every time my wife and I went to bed the dog would show up to sleep on her rug with us. Now she has a new habit. When we leave the NAIM system playing music in the living room and go...
...has just been reissued (finally) on CD. My vinyl version is knackered. The new one has some steaming, never-released live versions of "Psycho Killer", "Crosseyed and Painless" and (especially) "Once in a Lifetime."Having not found the mega box set...
These are soon to go and you should make whatever arrangements you need to keep any information they contain.2005I am hoping for a FASTER forum, and search engine that works and (inevitably)a few glitches.Start complaining early.
Reading the record reviews on this site over the last couple of weeks I think I might have found a pattern.There seem opposite sides of the fence in People who are into Radiohead (me) and people who are into The Smiths (this must the only...
The BeastlesThe production isn't up to 'Grey album' standards, but it's listenable enough.
Following nick lees post"if you like jellyfish".Well there I was just before xmas with a bunch of mates,all musos of varying degrees,bemoaning 04,& lack of quality pop/rock.I piped up with some of the bands recommended in nicks thread;-honeydogs,bleu,owsley,imperial drag.Besides the fact that buying this lot has been a success for me,the look on some of my mates faces when I played them this stuff was worth the price of the cd's alone Always nice to introduce new bands to people,especially...
