Seen that Eric Clapton is releasing an album of Robert Johnson songs, not a Clapton fan but has anyone heard it as a fan of Johnson.Always thought a modern album of faithfull Johnson songs retaining that etherall quality would be interesting but is...
Hi Folks,Anyone else got the new Elanor McEvoy album yet?I've only had the chance to listen to it once so far, but I like it so far. Not quite as instrumentally sparse as Yola, and her Irish accent seems to be coming through a bit more.Regards,Steve.
I see that there is a re-release of old material as a double CD The Island Years from the Tindersticks.CD1 seems to be a repeat of "Donkeys" that was released a few years ago - but CD 2 has 17 other tracks. I already have "Donkeys", is it worth...
Just got his latest album (2003) and can heartily recommend it.Well recorded, sparse acoustic/electric rock/pop with some reggae influences (and I hate full-on reggae!)Three piece band including Hawaiian born jack, so the sound is delightfully clean...
Fred, to repay you for putting me onto Jonatha may I recommend: Ketil Bjornstad - New LifeA solo piano re-recording of many of his earlier pieces. This is such a beautiful album that I'm sure you, and anyone else, will like it (if you don't have it...
At long last 'Rumours' - 'Fleetwood Mac' and 'Tusk' are being released tomorrow (23rd) in a properly remastered form for the first time.'Rumours' comes as a 2 CD set with extra tracks from the recording sessions/out-takes etc:I've heard some of the...
Loyd Grossman appeared on Radio 3's Private Passions last week, and chose some pretty interesting music. One track was Ojos Asi by Shakira, which has a kind of world/middle-east sound (sorry to be so vague). Anyhow, it's a cracking song that powers...
Bought the Bachelor No 2 album at the weekend and I am still coming to terms with just how great this record is!! Anyone who has yet to buy this should do so immediately!

One of the great things about having a record collection built up over 30 years or more is that you can find yourself listening to some odd things. Got a new cartridge today so going through the back catalogue and finding myself listening to A Good...
No doubt about this one Tal Farlow with Andy somebody or other in the mid 90's in a jazz club in Bham, boring to the point of nausea.Oh and Yngwie Malmsteen.
I'm looking for some advice regarding which CD Database software works well. It must automatically identify CDs inserted in the CD Drive and also be capable of manual entry. If poss it would be nice to be able to add LPs as well and differentiate. Any...

Well not quite but the next week on BBC4 sounds excellent.http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/music/features/blues.shtml
Got it through from Amazon today.Beautifully atmospheric with hardly a duff track. Copy protected, but sounds pretty good.
Finally got the new Ozrics album - quite chilled in parts, good bit of Eat Static input. Better and, at about 70mins, longer than recent offerings.
Dear "Vinyl Lovers" in Montreal.I'll be on a short visit in Montreal this week and I'd like to purchase some classical LPs.Last time I found some interesting S/H LP-stores in the east of town.Are there any other good addresses ?Thanks for your tips...
Ever wanted to know if your audio CD is actually made from an original source? In many countries (Vietnam? Russia?) pirated copies are sold as original, but the music material might have been transferred in a lossy compressed format at some point. A...
Just watched this on TV, well, recorded to DVD-RAM from the digital cable box (Mezzo, French cable channel). I was really looking forward to this, but found it a let down. The music was unquestionably beautiful, but sounded restrained and controlled,...
just seen a number of albums that i have been looking for on diverse, including bill evans' "quintessance" and bob dylan's "desire" and one or two more. the bill evans one if quite expensive at about £22!!! before i splash out, what's your...
I belatedly caught 'Shockheaded Peter' this weekend at the Lyric Hammersmith, and am still suffused with that warm glow that excellence induces. Besides, tales of the mutilation & death of small wayward children always give unaccountably deep satisfaction to primary school teachers. It's just so right, somehow. I was much struck by the unusual music by the Tiger Lillies, and see that they have an album 'The Gorey End', a collaboration between themselves and the Kronos Quartet of settings of...

Is anybody else tempted by the Pixies live CDs from the upcoming tour? They come in at £18 inc shipping. I think if I were going to one of the gigs, I wouldn't be hesitating. As it is $32 looks a bit steep.
