Haven't heard much talk about Reggae in these parts!? I'm rather partial to it myself and can unreservedly recommend the following:Bunny Wailer - Blackheart ManThe Harder They Come - SoundtrackBurning Spear - Marcus Garvey/Garveys GhostCongos - Heart...
Anyone have any experience with this label, out of Italy? I'm specifically interested in his Beethoven sonatas with Claudio Arrau. Thanks.
Has anyone got this album? Does anyone else think that it's a full-on masterpiece?
Can anybody suggest a definitive CD of Patsy Cline- both song and CD quality. I have heard a lot of her music on the radio and would now like to purchase a quality recording (not one of those £3 compilations in the bin-ends of music ...
Just got the new Armourplating album. £7 in FOP!! Took a few plays to come round to it (too used to Tracy Chapman). Some really good tunes and Fab sonics(not all tracks).DP.
Had a quiet night in last night and really got into some Cd's I'd not listened to for a while by John Tavener -The Protecting Veil and The Last Sleep of The Virgin. The latter in particular I really enjoyed, shimmering and strange. Finished the...
Having caught a few minutes of Jonathan Ross's interview with Mr Caine I was reminded of a couple of great songs inspired by his screen persona. The first is the rather obvious song of the same name by Madness but my personal favourite is 'Becoming...
This is not a new release but it's new to my collection. As I listen I am absolutely blown away and enjoying it so much I just wanted to *share the love*. If a new release came out with this high of a proportion of superb tunes it would be a "must...
Any one see this on BBC4 tonight? Interesting chap bloody good guitarist. I don't know much about him apart from his involvement in Fairport. Any recomendations where to start on his solo stuff?
An interesting story this morning on National Public Radio (American public radio network). According to the report, independent pop music labels pay musicians as much as four times more per album sold compared to major labels. Apparently most major...
I suppose I'm pretty late to "discover" these guys, but man I'm glad I did. I picked up "Twisted" in the dollar bin at the used cd store... probably the best dollar I've ever spent. The first three songs on this disc are as good as any three power-pop...

Is any Forum member going to the Wayne Shorter concert at Symphony Hall in Birmingham on Friday 7th March? If so it would be good to meet up at the bar during the interval. I'm out for a few hours now but will log on again later

The problem with Heathen is that although it sounds great and you really really want to love it..You just can't. Sounds too much like Dave trying to be Bowie (Low-heroes-scary monsters-Ziggy-Bowie)Is this fair? Or should I give it another month to get...
...between album titlesIt occurred to me (relatively) recently that Roy Harper's 'Flat, Baroque and Berserk' was probably a typically wacky/flippant riposte to Davy Graham's 'Folk, Blues and Beyond'.Along the same lines, but (perhaps) more obviously...
Out today on Thirsty Ear records, who put out Optometry by DJ Spooky. Anybody picked it up? Mine's on it's way from the states. I'm hoping it will satisfy my APC craving until the new Beans release on Warp.
We all have lots of albums right?Sod the rest of the 'collection'...what one album lives in/on your cd player/turntable as of right now??Curious as to what you guys are listening to redeye

I'm interested in getting other views on the various Ring cycles available. So far I know three quite well;Barenboim - not too bad, but recording quality is quite variable throughout, and some scenes lack dramatic intensity (most especially in...
Any suggestions for the best currently available version of Miles' masterpiece?My original copy was a CBS vinyl from early 80's; crap cover, wafer-thin vinyl, but wonderful sound with each soloist standing out in their own space, shown to its best...
It's a long shot but I don't suppose anyone knows where I can lay my hands on a copy of this elusive Richard Thompson CD?Scoured the internet but no luck...
