Remastered Coma Divine on 3 slabs of vinyl. Only waited 2 years for it but at least and at last its here.Alex
Because of the total lack of a decent Tv programme of any quality regarding music, my frustration has led me to write this. I would like to discuss with anyone who is interested the merits of some good music (and maybe where and why it sends you). My...
I just got Pink Floyds Division bell on vinyl.Again proof to me that the vinyl medium is still very relevent, sounding sweeter, clearer and just better than the CD version. Its blue vinyl as well, which I would expect to sound like shite.
Got the new 'Q' through the post yesterday, and having a quick flick through noticed the new Strokes album got a 5 star review. Now this is pretty rare for 'Q' and certainly the first 5 star review of the year, in fact the last 5 star review may have...
Hello,I'm interested in the Pilgrimage Recordings(most of them recorded in 2000), which are not yet finished I suppose (I don't know if it was or is intended to be a complete Cantata recording?)I (usually) appreciate J.E.Gardiner works very much and...
Hi to all !I've often heard Miles Davies but I must profess that I have not got a MD recording in my collection Which would you suggest I buy to start off......... ?
I have just been listening to the new Killing Joke Album, and quite good it is.They are very angry about a fair number of things, and want to shout at you about it. God, The Army, God, the economic system, no target is safe!Dave Grohl on drums makes...
Have you ever been to a hi-fi show, heard some music and thought yes! I must get that? I haven't.Alex
How many CD versions of Ummagumma available at the moment!! Original transfer1994 RemasterNew limited edition remaster.Anyone got any views as to which to get? I'm after a CD copy to replace my vinyl, but which one?
I saw them play at Cambridge sunday. Brilliant gig, good sound. Only marred by the fact that people in England can still smoke in public venues The new album 'Cast of thousands' is superb too. Guy Garveys voice is a combination of Peter Gabriel and...
Hi,Can you advice me for some good album available on cd with similar material like Fleetwood Mac blues phase with Peter Green, John Dummer Blues Band, Brunnig/Hall B. Band, Climax Ch. B. Band (first album), Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack. It must be...
Courtesy of Amazon a big bundle of CD's arrived today, including the new Elvis Costello album, 'North'.The limited edition I bought also came with a free DVD, containing some videos of three songs, two from the album, and one that is the title track,...
Borrowed 'Nixon' from a mate and have spent the weekend wrapped in its sweeping tunes and gothic lyrics. Reminds me of a combination of Prefab Sprout and Luke Haines (but American!) A band I seem to have missed out on before now. Their back catalogue...
Picked up my first DJ Shadow music last weekend - a double LP from a Peel show. I'm curious as to whether this is representitive of all his work, or a one off. After hearing a lot of hype, I was a little underwhelmed.cheers,Dan
Ive been listening to the Doves latest offering "lost sides" and to be honest even though it is only a collection of b-sides and rarities etc it would certainly stand up as a 'new' offering. Well worth a listen and at a low price too.
If you find yourself struggling to see how Psychedelic Goacore relates to Hard Acid, Ishkur has samples and a laughably overspecified path diagram.Who knew that Boards of Canada was 'illbient'?I really hope it's a parody, but I fear it is meant to be...
I know that the LP "Comfort in Sound" came out a year but it seemed to have passed this noble forum by.Heard the title track on Radio 1 last weekend (I know,I know) and bought the album. Interestingly it's on white vinyl but still sounds okay. My...
This label is brilliant. I've got most of the % Dynamite series, but during my recent busying spree I bought 'Nice up the Dance' which is sort of Dancehall meets Hip/Hop with a bit of Reggae. It's really good. I'll do a full listing of what I've...
Anybody wish to join me in comment. At first listen a) its sounds dreadful – its SACD but CD compatible, well at least mine is b) not sure about the material.MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMartin
I've just got back from seeing Queens Of The Stone age live at the Kool Haus in Toronto. They had 2 warm up acts on, 1st black maria I think they were called, a local band. Not bad at all, and the distillers. The distillers wasn't too much my...
Good, innit..?
As if!I thought I'd report on a funny bit of documentary I saw last week. Dutch tv ran a 1984 documentary about Yehudi Menuhin. At some point there was footage of a couple of performances of Beethoven's late G major sonata. You get to see three bits...
Yesterday was the start of Calexico's tour. Did anyone make it to the El Rey Theater? I'll be at the Denver show on Oct. 19, but if anyone catches an earlier gig, I'd be interested to hear how it went.cheers,Dan
And only 54 Steve
