I'd be amazed if this album hasn't been discussed here before, but the "find" function doesn't work any more so just in case ..If "There will be a light" isn't proof of the existence of a higher power, I don't know what is. For those of you who have...

I have the song 'Burlesque' in my head - any good Family recommendations?

Recently saw Space Ritual at Guilfest. They were one of the week-end's highlights along with Simple Minds and the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain who got a standing ovation for their soundcheck!. They, Space Ritual that is, played a storming set,...

I am probably late to the party on this ..... but if you have DSL/streaming audio ability, and haven't already done so, check out www.radioparadise.com. What a terrific, eclectic blend of music with minimal verbal chat (like once a half-hour). Reminds...

I was just listening to Saturday night R&R in Los Angeles. Three piece came up in a row: Jethro Tull, Auqualung: Beatles', Revolution: Dire Straights with the ever wonderful Mark Knopfler, Money for Nothing..... What great guitar work do you really get off on? I mean lower chakra and visceral excitement!!! I remember this stuff when it was new and I was 18 years old with raging hormones, I just love this stuff. glenn Life is analogue, enjoy it while you can.

Hi all,At the recent Heathrow show I heard Yello - "The Eye" in the Vivid Audio room. Whilst the room was far too small for the speakers they were demoing it gave me a taste for the CD so I bought it. First time I've really come across these two guys...

I was listening last night to a CD called 'where have I known you before' which I think is very good - can anyone recommend any others by CC and return to forever.thanksI do have a CD called 'Beneath the mask' which I don't like as much and also a...

Anyone else caught up with the new CD 'Just Another Day' from this delightful Cornish band?Web-site here.

I've had the Seal cd for some time, but never given it a good listen. So, having bought new speakers, Shahinian Compass, it was time too sit down and listen to some music. This time Seal went in my CDX and.......... that CD is just...

Any Blur fans out there? Just wondering what one of their most recent albums was like. It had a track called tea and coffee I think (released around 1999-2000 after 13). Have they released anything else since? I have Parklife, G.Escape and 13. All ...

I hope the Administrators will turn a blind eye to this rather blatant plug.I know quite a few Forum members live in or near Bristol, well on May 31st at The Prom, Gloucester Rd my band called (don’t laugh) Slipper are playing at 9.00pm.It is...

If anyone is interested, play.com look to have a very good deal on Frank Zappa cds at the mo: http://www.play.com/play247.as...11&linkBack=Bargains Hope it's of interest to someone, Chris.

or great bands who never came anywhere near making itWhilst trawling through the oldest parts of my record collection at the weekend (i.e. cassettes!), I came across an absolute belter of an album that more than deserves its 15 minutes of fame on the...

Does anyone remember this film featuring Ralph Machio (ex Karate Kid) who plays an aspirational blues guitarist on a road trip to his dream.I bought the sound track on vinyl many moons ago but it did not include the guitar shootout with Ralph and some...

Hi thereI went to see Nils Lofgren in concert last night and he was incredible. Just in case you do not know he is the lead guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E-street Band and he has also had a great solo career. He does not have any support band, he...

I have my copy of the new remastered double 'Worst Of' imaginatively titled 'The Very Best Of'.32 tracks and barely a bummer. Great sound quality too. As ever; you need a USA copy to do the job properly - Elektra/Rhino R2 78091.

Already mention by some of the old lags, Antics is the second album from New York band Interpol.This recording builds on the style of the first album “Turn on the Bright Lights”, drawing influences from Joy Division, but in my opinion...

HiI have a copy of Thomas Zehetmair playing concerti by Joseph and Michael Haydn released in 1985. I am 90 percent sure he's playing a Stradivarius. (It has that "fizz" that is associated with Strads.)Does anybody know if he has been playing a...

Picked up "Life in the So-Called Space Age" last night on the strength of the cool cover. It's kinda techno-oriented soundwise, but with straightforward rock-pop sensibilities regarding song structure. It's got more balls than any "pure techno" I've...

Damon Albarn and Noel Gallagher "bury the hatchet for charity". Toss in some Dido, some Chris Martin, and some Robbie Williams... mmm-mmm! Mama, that's good charity!Band Aid IIII can't wait for the anniversary edition of Hear-N-Aid (the one done by...

The expanded remaster is excellent. Great sound quality, lovely double 'digi-pack' presentation and very helpful people at Snapper Records, the distributors.

A dose of flu has me confined indoors, so I was going through a big box of old cassettes and I dragged out the 1980 tape-only release "Music For Stowaways" by the British Electric Foundation - basically Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware from the Human...
