Enjoyed Elbow last week (the CD is starting to get its hooks into me) and Ludacris (excellent bassline to test your house foundations). Looking forward to Arthur Lee Bad News for Greeny & Matthew Robinson, I think Jools is going to perform with his BIG BAND Later With Jools Holland Fri 14 Nov, 11:35 pm - 12:35 am 60mins Travis make a welcome return to the Later fold tonight, performing tracks from their long awaited new album 12 Memories.

i do.just wondered what sort of styles and kit people were using.please don't take this as an opportunity to boast about your 5 arp modulars, connected to 10 minimoogs going into an SSL desk - that's not the kind of mundane thread i'm going for.for...

Can you guys reccomend anything off the warp label?Aphex Twin aside, which with much effort I think is utter cak.Cheers

Well regarding another thread and some music magazine U2s One got voted as the best love song of all time.I think we can all do a bit better than that.Whats your favorite love song?I'll need to think about this.

I'm currently being blown away by 'the Indestructible beat of Soweto' compilation. Is there anything else this good out there?All recomendations gratefully received.Nick

Just picked up a copy of the Flaming Lips - "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" for a very reasonable £6.67 a good result for what is a terrific listen!Inspired, I will probably back track a bit and get my hands on a copy of "The Soft Bulletin"...

Or am I just imagining it? Any news?

Am I the only one who is failing to find much of any political protest in contemporary pop?The two big pop producing nations, the U.K. and the U.S., are engaged in a brutal and unbelievably ill-conceived war, for which every official rationale has...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3281893.stmSurely its in his best interests to just stop now, buy somewhere remote and get out the lime light?Plus his latest song is weak, and sounds like Will Young

Well there is history here.I used to have a best mate, many years ago at school. He had one of those tape decks that you used with a spectrum to load up games.Anyhoo he was into REM, I mean well into them as only obsessional teenagers can be,...

The album 'Californication' - the title track distorts on one channel - anyone else noticed this? or is it my setup? - CDI, 82 (hi caps), 250 + Arcs - swapping speakers doesn't move the distortion and I'm sure it's noticeable in the car...

I was fortunate enough to recently attend the Royal Festival Hall for the launch of the latest "official" version of Mahler's 2nd symphony played by the Philharmonia and conducted by Gilbert Kaplan. It was a great night with a most memorable...

Is anyone else experiencing dificulties playing back this CD. It arrived this morning, so I decided to listen to it on the way to work in the car. It appears to pause every now and again. Not on every track, just on some. The disk appears to be...

I picked up Mozart's piano concertos 6, 7, and 10, featuring Malcolm Bilson, Robert Levin, and Melvyn Tan on piano (under the direction of John Eliot Gardiner), on the "Archiv Produktion" (?) label. It's the first Mozart in my collection; I like it...

As a new baby is due to arrive in our house in mid October, does anyone have reccommendations for music that will calm the wee beastie? I have read that it is a good idea to play music to the foetus and then play the same music again when you want...

This is a piece made famous by Bill Evans, and recently revisited by Jacky Terrason. It's a piece authored by Miles Davis.I'd like to know on which Miles Davis album I can find it.ThanksPeter

HiI used to get into alot of electronic music and for some reasons, I stopped buying them. My last album purcahsed was the Future Sound of London-"Papa New Guniea" That was years ago and, now I understand that it is considered by many to be Old Skool...

New Album 'Go'Some of you may know 1999's 'Everything You Want'. Well; this is better.Superb, intelligent melodic rock. Big guitars and the lead vocalist has something of Mr Stipe in his delivery.Not a duff track. Excellent stuff. I like it so much;...

These two will soon be back from whence they came (unless anyone here can convince me to give them another chance) :Belle and Sebastian : blah blah Waitress.Ryan Adams : Rock and roll. Shame because he used to be such a nice quiet boy.Initial...

Although I hate to pigeon hole stuff, what is eveyones opion of when was the start of punk? I cant stand the sex pistols and all they stood for but love alot of stuff that came before and after (mainly the rhythm and blues based stuff).thanks

Noticed last week in HMV that most of the Pink Floyd CDs have been reduced in price. On Vinyl the old Floyd CDs sound excellent, i.e. The Wall, Wish You Were Here and Animals.How do the CDs compare to the Vinyl versions? I have noticed that Animals...

Well, I didn't bother with 50 cents in the end. I did however get 'Susumu Yokota: Grinning Cat' which is very laid back ambient. I havn't heard it all yet as I had to bang on my second purchase: 'Underworld Live: everything everything' I had the...
