A friend at work turned me on to "The String Quartet Tribute to Tool". If you like classical music and also have a soft spot for Tool, you need to check it out. Very interesting.Shawn G
Replaying some stuff recently with Al DiMeola, and I reckon his playing - particularly in the 70's, is pretty up there. So why do you dislike him so much? Is this more to do with a little personality clash? HHmm?A simple yes or no would do - you are...

Did anyone see PJ Harvey at Somerset House last night? She was wonderful, her voice is soooooooooo good, nice primeval guitars and the PA was one of the best I've heard. Maybe it's the fact that SH is a closed courtyard but the sound is spot on, and...
Liars - Todd Rundgren's first new material album for 10 years was released yesterday in the UK and Today in the USA. Plenty of recommended reviews so far, with Todd singing and playing all the Instruments too. Check here for Todd Stuff - All Things...

I've read somewhere here about someone's nicely re-mastered CD of Grand Hotel... the versions I've had, from original US version (yuck!), Japanese (not much better), to Castle re-issue of a few years back (better, but still congested/rolled-off...
Whilst ordering the new Blue Nile I found out that Grand Drive are releasing a new album this month titled The Lights In This Town Are Too Many To Count . There are a few GD fans here, but for those who don't know, this is a band that plays some kind...

My lp only hi fi is set up in the living room. I like this arrangement as my three children ages 6-11 then get to hear the music; I am contributing to their overall education by exposing them to Gregorian Chant thru the White Stripes. In fact, I'm...
Anyone know of a good cd/record shop on in NYC?
Has anyone seen them or read any reviews?I know Ian Astbury can be a bit of a pretentious plonker, but then so could Jim Morrison. I'm thinking of buying tickets to see them but it may be a bit too "tribute band" for my tastes....
Anyone know why this album - which many of us have - is due for release on 19th July 2004?Huh?
The 'Shop's new single, "Topknot" (out 27th july) is getting heavy rotation on BBC Radio London and is an absolute corker.Hearing it again last night prompted me to get out Handcream For A Generation and When I Was Born For The 7th Time, both of which...
Anyone who has an interest in seventies soul-funk (and the myriad modern offshoots thereof) and hasn't already heard "Inspiration Information" by Shuggie Otis, should really seek it out. It's a multi-tracked one-man opus from the early seventies, and...
Another great album discovered last week on the utterly essential Bob Harris show.This appears to be the work of one Henry Frayne, and is beautiful instrumental music.Anyone else know this stuff?You'll find info on the excellent music info site AMG.
