I thought this had been done before but couldn't find it on a search.(If anyone can find the previous one let me know).I know its impossible to quantify or explain why but its interesting to hear peoples views.The reason I asked is because last night...

I recently unearthed a casette I was given many years ago. There was never a track list given hence this post:There is a track that I believe was used for the World in Action 1970's TV programme.Does anyone know who it is by? Cheers,Rob

Please can any one tell me who is the female singer on a advert singing a song I presume is called California Soul? thanks

well a fair time has moved on since our last outing into this vast vast areana.I have purchased some frankly great peaices of music that I wish to share with you all.For those that think Electronica in its many froms is pap, should perhaps move on...

Hi Folks,Just got a copy of this excellent album, but my question is this; Does the CD have recorded vinyl 'surface noise' on some of the tracks? There seem to be distinct clicks/pops on the CD and I couldn't decide if it was part of the recording,...

AllFor all my sins I am a ZZ fan, especially the early blues stuff. (some of the latter stuff am not 100% keen on,but hey!) Well they played Brixton academy and they were fantastic. Unfortunately I was standing at the side and the sound was very very...

I have just watched some footage of Morcheeba at Glastonbury and what a fabulous live act they are, the albums are well worth checking out as well.RegardsJim

ChapsThere are several Sarah Brightman Promo CD's on Ebay with a relatively high price tag.I have most of these Cd's but just what is the difference being a normal CD and a Promo one.Are they worth buying etc.RegardsMick

(R.I.P. Sam Phillips.) Possibly the best single disc collection of Sun bluse, on Rhino, called *Blue Flames.* A great collection of seminal blues artists. BB King, Howlin' Wolf, Junior Parker, Little Milton, et.al., at seminal points in their...

Is it just me or are the male lead vocalists of Grandaddy, Sparklehorse, The Thrills and The Flaming Lips all one and the same person? Its that kind of plaintive, feeble vocal sound that makes me wonder.

Who is the recording artist that sings 'I drive all night' on the Chrysler PT cruiser advert. I know I've heard it before by someone else, sounds a bit like Shania Twain on speed. Any ideas?Ta.

MuchachosSorry about short notice, but there is a programme on Radio 4 tonight at 23:30 about this wonderful seriesRegardsMikeOn the Yellow Brick Road and happy

Having stopped reading the weekly inkies, and rarely buying the monthlies (except for the Wire) I am at a loss to know what is going to be the next breakthrough after electroclash folded.Is it stripped down, back to the roots raw rock ?Latin House...

'Permission To Land'Anyone else have this new album?What I want to know is - are they taking the piss?Is it a parody of the excesses of rock, or are they for real?There is a lot of bad language and overt references to illegal substances.I'm enjoying...

For those of you who find Radiohead too confusing why not try The Coral's latest offering. Its on noisy but charming orange vinyl and is best played at 33rpm.Alex

i would like to know what naim forum members think of some poor excuses for music that have been released but are totally unlistable on a decent rig due to sibilace boomy bass etc.i will start the ball rolling and name my top 33alanis morissette under...

Being extremely bored (and hot) my mind has wandered to the topic of locked run-off grooves on some LP's (the bit at the end of a side - usually side two - where the music / sound effects continue forever until the arm is lifted off the record).I can...

Heard a version of this bye well sounded like Lisa egg down searched the net no luck anybody any ideas.Stuart

Blusey guitar rock has had IMO a welcome return to the forefront of mainstream music, for me the front runners to date have been the 'Stripes.Whereas I once had time to read the music rags and go to gigs, unfortunatly I do not get the chance to...

For me there is only one candidate****** Rick Waller - I will always Love You *****

Hi there,Any recommendations? I'm looking for a complete recording. I realize that there are plenty of them but it seems rather difficult to find a good recording quality (what I've heard so far did not nearly impress me). Recording organ seems to be...

In the 90's production of new vinyl was dieing. Do you think that the medium was saved by the evolving DJ/Dance culture? Secondly vinyl is seen again as a viable and 'cool' medium. What do you think? Just a thought of the morningCheersGoose
