Spice up your life - Electronic, techno, housey, electronic, beaty, stuff. ps. I do like Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, but it is, sort of, rather depressing isn't it.
Anyone familiar with his works? I'd like to pick up one of his versions of Pagannini's Caprices and don't know if I should go for the version he did for Columbia betweeen 1950-'53, or the more recent EMIK which they remastered in 2001. Thanks.

Went to the Jazz Cafe (London) last night to see the mighty Terry Callier - it was a great gig: the man was in fine voice, the band (Including Jim Mullen on guitar) was awesome, and the audience was, as ever, hugely (and noisily) appreciative. We were...
Being recently smitten with the guitar genius of the big man, I would like to increase his scanty showing in my collection.But, even a cursory search shows a huge back catalogue, so where to start.Any recommended favourite albums or ...
MuchachosOne thought that has occured to me is that I spend a great deal of time thinking about my next upgrade, tweak, etc etc and not much time listening to new music. A fairly frequently made, and good comment on this forum is " think how much...
