How about a thread about upcoming releases that get one salivating? I'll start:Keith Jarrett Trio - Always Let Me Go / Live in TokyoRather than the standards they've been illuminating over the decades, like their previous and brilliant Inside Out,...

I declare Kleiber the winner. Erich Kleiber, that is. Shortly after beginning my ongoing interest in opera I discovered Rafael Kubelik’s recording of this decidedly German masterpiece and it became one of my favorites. Alas, the set was no...

A big thumbs up for the current ENO production [about seven performances left - see : www.eno.org] Every Handel opera I've seen [ i.e.four] has been wonderful in its own way, and it makes me wonder what the fifty odd we don't get to see are like. This is particularly beguiling - a spectacular production in a manner which although not exactly heritage would offend nobody [dazzling gilded set, which twirls and cavorts in a satisfying manner, sumptuous costumes by Sue Blane, who did both the...

I know this topic has been discussed already within these forums, but thought I'd mention what I'd found out to any one of you that purchases Cd's online.Three of the last four Cd's I have purchased from CD-WOW have had copy protection (Massive...

Just discovered this link in the froot site to there 'radio station' which gives you some good samples of world music, worth a listen.froot radioMatthew

MuchachosHaving been a music lover for over 30 years, I still play some of the same music I first heard in the early 70s; Ziggy, DSOTM, Yes, Electric Warrior etc. I was discussing the then imminent re-release of DSOTM with a work colleague, aged late...

Hi!Went to the Munich concert last Monday night.The show was great, the sound was superb. The selection of songs was rather poor IMO.Any opinions?Christian

A two part programme on Saturday nights at 9 o'clock. Listened to the first one and it was really good. Lots of Beatles, Floyd, Country Joe, String Band, Doors,etc.The second part is this Saturday and charts the progress of psychedelia up to the...

in Brighton and I managed to get a seat front row in the middle. I was maybe 3m from the man (I was waiting for him!).Fab gig. Not sure about this Raven stuff though...oh and who says HiFi is about the recreation of live music? It should be the other...

Dark Side Of The MoonTonight at 12.35 on Beeb 2

I went to see Alias and Themselves play Sabbath at Pressure Point in Brighton last night. I know a few people here are into anticon stuff, especially Jel.First thing I noticed when I got there was that Dose One, Jel, Alias and Dax were manning the...

I am interested in going to see this in June at the Barbican as it seems like it could be pretty interesting.Just wondering what those who heard it think about it.cheersMatthew

I've just been on the Zappa site www.zappa.com and found that they are selling original brand new LP's from the 70's and 80's. They are all stamped with Promo in gold lettering, and many are still in shrinkwrap! Garyi, this made me think of you. The...

World Without Tears - very good - buy it now.Sorry post so compact I tried a long winded review for you twice but it got screwed when i hit 'post now' ...fingers crossed for this one!

... don't know if this was previously posted. ... just read that he died on Nov, 28, in Minneapolis after a bout of lung cancer. He was a great player.

I really like the new King Crimson album and am suprised that no one else has mentioned it! ( there seem to be a lot of proggers out there :-) )Well, it's heavy and I think it's where the 'Construction of light' was going, but is better. I love Trey...

Hi there,What are your favourite recordings? I find Harnoncourt's 2001 recording (Teldec) very recommandable. Are there any "musthaves" on the market (musically and also reg. recording quality)?Thank you.Reto

I highly recommend this disc. If you already know about Ian Moore, this is (IMHO) his masterpiece to date - you won't be disappointed.If you haven't yet discovered Ian Moore, he's a guitarist from the Austin Texas scene, who proves on this record that...

Looking for a recorded oboe concerto that will musically. knock my socks off. Any recommendations?

Alert!New Buzzcocks CD in the shops, with NEW material. I think it is called 'Buzzcocks'. It must have taken them hours to think of that. I am researching the availablity on vinyl, if not, the CD will have to do.DSOTD - Dual Mount - Power RaidersDS

Hi there, I have the CD single 'Make you feel that way', it's very mellow and jazzy, I just wonder whether the whole album is like that, or any other bands are similar. I do not want to be like the Soul of Mischief LP, their contribution track on Zero...

It all starts off very well and I kept imagining it as a great soundtrack to a Silver Surfer movie with the Watcher and the tumultuous warlike clashing of far away galaxies or the insane work of some odd BBC engineer for a geography programme on...

I went to see the CO at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh last night. They were fantastic - that's some of the best drumming I have ever seen.Anyone else go?Nick
