Is anyone interested in a latest releases thread? I know that we have Nick Lees' head for reviews, but maybe there's room for an unreviewed list too.Probably best to limit it to particular faves, especially ones we're eagerly awaiting, but to start...
Ok, So I have three CDs: Spirit, Teatro & Milk Cow Blues. I also have the early 80s 'Greatest Hits and some that will be' collection, Stardust, Willie Nelson sings Kris Kristofferson, & Poncho & Lefty (with Merle Haggard). I settled dow to listen to 'Milk Cow Blues' last night, which is a sumptous recording albeit with some over modulation of Willie's voce (sounds like misstracking!). However I was struck by how annoying the guest singers are on this disc. Can anyone reccomend a Willie...
Does anyone have any info on the Kraftwerk 'Kling Klang Studios Remasters'?The official site is as enigmatic as usual...Anyone have any useful information?Release dates? Titles? Packaging? etc...

Reading the Glenn Gould posts has reminded me to dig this out - the Gould Plays Bach 'Original Jacket Collection' from Sony classical released in 1999 - 12 CD's in their original LP sleeves (only smaller!) in a nice outer box.How many other similar...
As the Bach topic has been such fun, what are your views on his Beethoven.I found his recording's to be, from a personal point of view mixed, some superb others awful.I found (although it's been a while since i last listened) all of the late (28 to...

Hi there. Does anyone have a contact telephone number for a shop (I think) called Rainbow Records somewhere in mid Wales (Powys I think, but I could be wrong...). They also run regular record fairs in Ludlow (Shropshire) and, possibly, in other...

Anyone else here catching Martin Scorcese's sprawling history of the blues?I've really enjoyed the first two films.Thursday evenings BBC4 (TV) and its repeated another evening I think?
The other day I was having a beer with mmy mate Mat, who used to edit Mojo. We were talking about the issue back in March '99 when he put Abba on the cover - quite a daring thing to do on that maggazine at that time, as borne out by some of the...

The past few years have seen a resurgence of interest in British Jazz of the 60s and 70s. Though Britain is probably better known for it's great exponents free jazz, improvisation or fusion, there is in fact a little mountain of (until now anyway)...
I've been led to believe this is a real can of worms?.....Any advice?My musical tastes vary incidentally.
Great gig last night.Billy Cobham opened with his Art of Five combo, with Donald Harrison, Guy Barker and the brilliant Julian Joseph. I suppose BC is getting old and has mellowed a bit. Great stuff, but maybe a little tame. Julian Joseph just blew me...
Don't hear much mention of Zorn on these pages. For me, Zorn is one of the greats of contemporary music. In some ways like a modern Miles Davis: sooo many people making great music have payed with Zorn - and most people making drek haven't. His music...

During my youth I went to many gigs.The best live band I ever saw (atmosphere and actually sounding right) were Slade.The worst band,a hopefully defunct outfit called Isotope.
