Hi all. This is primarily a message for Peter Stockwell (Paris resident), but I thought I'd open it up to all.I've just booked tickets to see DB in Paris (Bercy) on 21st October (it's sort of a birthday trip...).I just wondered if anyone had any tips...
I just listened to Gordon tonight for the first time in ages. It seemed to get buried and almost lost. I'd forgotten how good it is and finally mean to get some more of them. Where should I start?
“Guitarist Antonio Forcione’s lovely album has a strong Mediterranean theme, with an elegant tango suite, a gorgeous folky ronde entitled Tarantella, and an Alhambra rich with dramatic variations and consoling cadences. Forcione plays as...
This holiday weekend, there was a 4-day music and arts festival in Seattle. My friends and I attended today, and thanks to an album recommendation by Nick Lees, we rushed to see Karsh Kale at 1:30 PM. Wow. Excellent, excellent percussionist is Karsh...
My better half spotted an album by the above in Virgin called sounds from the Thievery hi-fi.She showed it to me because it had a record deck on the front cover!Anyhoo we bought it, and damn me its really good.Sort of Dreadzone but a bit more...
Non-Prophets - Hope Just letting you all know, it's over already. The imminent Buck65, Aesop Rock, and Sonic Sum albums will have to go some to top this. Any Port and New Word Order are typical. Roll on October 7th.
Know when you come across something that you would instinctively avoid like the plague? My missus came out of Piccadilli Tower Records late one night after we had been having too much fun on the town (we have very good babysitters) with an armful of...
Guys I love this album and its come up on Ebay.I don't know about the seller or anything but the album is great. It was described to me as a cinamatic sound, i.e. big and dynamic.There is loads of strings mixed with phat beats, its not difficualt...
Q: Can one ever have too much Mozart?A: Of course not!The last few months I have been on something of a Mozart binge, adding about two dozen Mozart recordings to my collection, bringing my total Wolfie collection to over one hundred discs. (Only Haydn...
Yes, another Mike Oldfield thread. Yesterday I got the 30th Anniversary version of MO's oevre. Unlike TB2 and TB3 this attempts to be entirely faithful to the original version down to the second. The biggest difference is that it was recorded with...
any good?if so which one should I get?Nick
saw the audi advert last night at the cinema, who is the track by???thanksAnselmall art is contemporary; it is the way we look at it that changes...
The object of this thread is twofold: first, I'd like to find how many records and CDs you guys got. I have about 2,700 records and 400 Cds or so. More importantly, how many albums do you think one should have? I talked to my friendly record dealer...
Does anyone know when the next one is? I've missed the last two or three and I'm now completely out of sync with the dates. I know there was one a week or so back, so I'm interested in finding out when & where the next one is... John TC '..' " Sun went down in honey. Moon came up in wine. Stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord, the band kept us so busy we forgot about the time. "
Sorry another one to compile- I think its a bit of a rarity - Bands who have made 3 or more truely classic albums. (dodgy recomendations will have to be substantiated and no greatest hits!).Here are some of the very obvious starters:-Beatles. Stones....
Has anyone listened to this album and/or this group on One Little Indian?I've heard a few tracks on the radio, and it sounds like early Beck (twangy and hickabilly one minute, scratches the next).What's their story?
I've been getting very bored with the Music Forum lately. I feel like I'm hanging around that dismal record shop from the movie "High Fidelity," where the two sad clerks spend their lives rating and categorizing music from the past. We're overrun by...
For those who like the instrumental sounds of Buck 65, left handed straw, dj shadow, kruder and dorfmeister, jel, etc. MAY I RECOMMENDAlgorithm, Banana Clip, Volume 3Excellent instrumentals in the McEnroe/Jel ...
On BBC Radio 2, Sunday 24th, midnight to 4am. See here Paul Dimaline.
Then you will l love this: Metalheadz, no smoke with out fire Its not as dark as ed-rush, but then that would be hard, however its heavy well worth the purchase for D&B fans out there. Curiously I found it on vinyl in Virgin records, now there's a rariety.
Just released in the US yesterday. Has anyone had a chance to listen? Apparently it's getting some good reviews. Pretty unique website . Also now available for the first time ever on CD...American Stars 'N Bars, On The Beach, Hawks & Doves and re-ac-tor. cheers, jim
PeopleI was listening tto "Late Junction" on Radio 3 the other week and I heard an Ellington piece that seemed to be derived from "The Nutcracker". Most impressive.Does anyone know whatr it is?Thanks in advanceKevin
In the spirit of fewer favorites lists and more useful recommendations, I unveil a new thread. My first live performance thread was lame.The purpose here? To recommend live performances based on your recent experiences, so as to help forum members...
Those I remember at the moment are:Metallica, 1988. I was just feet from the stage and had lots of teen angst The local news van outside was tipped over following the show; mom and dad were concerned, having seen it on the 11 o'clock news (which of...
HiDid anyone manage to see Patti smith last night at Shepherds Bush Empire?Whenever I see her and her band, they make it to my shortlist for gig of the year, this lady still rocks, and Lenny Kaye has no right to look so good after almost 30 years of...
