I’ve just taken the spare wheel out of my ‘pre-owned’ car (front tyre picked up a screw from somewhere…) and found some CD’s stashed in with the wheel jack etc(!). I now have ‘Black – Wonderful...
Hi folks.Wonder if you can help. Back around Christmas time, a friend dropped me a copy of a compilation cd he'd been given. I particularly enjoyed the first track, but I didn't know exactly what I was listening to and kept forgetting to ask. Roll...
Anyone else as giddily excited as I am about the great AMC reforming, releasing new music, touring etc etc?Mark Eitzel solo is still great, but I've missed AMC more than any other band I can think of (at least until I've had my second cup of tea of...
HiThis very special sampler is a celebration of the TRUE STEREO process for recording we have used for the majority of our releases over the last ten years.What we call "True Stereo" is, in our opinion, one of the most faithful techniques in existence...

...anyone got any recommendations - I picked up the "Iris" EP on CD for a pound a while back and only started listening to it seriously last week. Intriguing stuff, but I wondered where to start re: their albums...Any recommendations?John
Been trying to replace 3 ageing copies of Don Juan's Recless Daughter on vinyl for ages. Has anyone come across a good CD copy digitally re-murdered or otherwise ? A few local stores have the CD but they seem just 80's issues. I would even be...
Has anyone else gone to Out on the Floor records in Inverness St, Camden? Discovered it on Monday. Fantastic!-- woody
Really like the current single.What else is worth considering chaps ?regardsRichard S
Gone back to it for another listen. Is it..a. Majorly yawnful, bereft of good ideas and the most disappointing album in recent years? orb. Some seriously wicked, dark grooves that bounce off the walls beautifully. Hugely under rated?Opinions please ...
Which other albums of Joni's can anyone recommed that are in the same vein as Blue? ie Strong lyrics/melodies and bare instrumentation as opposed to the more overproduced/jazzy/orchestral stuff such as on Hissing Of Summer Lawns and Hejira.These are...
All those Crimsoneers, out there:On Vinyl, it has been already a drag to pick the right pressing, so now on CD:Which is the all time / all seasons / best ever CD I can get with the above ? On Amazon, I see crazy expensive Japanese (hdcd ?) versions....
Geezers:I have just acquired six LPs which are absolutely FILTHY. I've tried playing tthem on the old LP12 but they're really noisy and just pile up fluff on the stylus. Ideally they need to be cleaned with a VPI-type machine, but buying one is...

Any of you who listen to sean Rowley's excellent shows on BBC Radio london will know about his regular "guilty pleasures" slots, wherein he plays records which knows he shouldn't like, but does. (His choices include Pilot, Alessi, Neil Diamond and...
Alerted to the existence of this program by Tom Alves, I've spent the evening testing out the trial version. I made up a test batch of 10 LPs. In the test, I intentionally avoided what I thought to be popular titles, but I also didn't go out of my way...
Has anyone heard of Tortoise and could advise on any of their other stuff, I picked up Standards at the weekend on vinyl and it is superb.On Warp records (I rarely go wrong with warp) this album has some real elements of Zappa and well kind of Stevie...
Went to see oor Tony play last night - just wanted to say that it was a fantastic gig, and I am in awe of his abilities.If anyone's in the Edinburgh area, they should make a point of going to see his show. Absolutely first rate!John
I recently discovered Bailter Space (via. "Tanker") and the similar-sounding Straightjacket Fits (via. "Hail"), both from NZ. I like this type of sound: edgy, dissonant bass and guitar riffs over spaced-out, druggy-trancy noises. AMG suggests The...
The Hamsters hit Brighton last night ,wow what a gig ,even Oldie was seen to tap his feet,try and catch them if they come your way,it helps to like Hendrix & ZZ Top! Amazing the talent we have in this country, mostly ignored by the media ,I thought the Ian Parker band was stunning when I caught them at Blues on the Farm, must admit I had never heard of them before gaucho
a long time ago McDonalds had an advert on tv with the above track playing,as i remember it was a white male singing solo with a band behind him,i know that it has been covered many times before(fat's and the inkspots are a couple)but does anyone know...
