Mine is a 1985 edition of Ofra Haza – Yemenite Songs, Globe Style ORB-006-A.After listening to this on a show hosted by Charlie Gillet (Radio London ?) one Sunday afternoon and even though I didn’t understand a word I just had to rush out...
Perhaps some of the hipper members here can clue me in? Read an interview with a band that said they were definitely not electroclash (so last year...) Therefore, I must already be at least two levels behind what's hip!-Dan
Playing St Etienne's new album Finisterre - it's brilliant - easily their best yet and Sarah Cracknell's voice gets better and better.Anyone else heard it or been to the live concerts?Jeremy
Who will be the first to comment on the new Godspeed you! Black Emporer? album.I'm not going into the shops until next week.DSITC - Vibracatherdral Orchestra - Dabbling with Gravity and who you are.
i've never really been a fan of posthumous "best of" albums. always seems like a pretty cynical way of the record industry to make money out of someone who is no longer around to benefit from it, so i was a little disappointed to see the "new" nirvana...

Antonio Forcione was playing live at the Concert Hall in Reading on Saturday. The lineup was significantly different to his usual stuff. This time he had a quartet going, being two guitarists, a cellist and a percussionist. Obviously Antonio played...

The cry of "support you local band" echos through this posting taken from the slightly exotic and esoteric slashdot site. A panacea for the industry? you decide. http://ask.slashdot.org/articl...&mode=thread&tid=141
I've been looking forward to this recording for a while so I was dissapointed to read a less than favorable NY Times review of the concert from which the recording was made. I think the words disjointed and rushed to market were tossed around. My...
I had a business trip to London this week, and gave the VISA card some hammer in HMV, Virgin and Tower, where the choice is so much better than "up north". Here are some earlier recent purchases that I can thoroughly recommend, both for the music and...
I have just read Roy's post on the top 100 number ones of all time. Queens bohemian Rhapsody was voted the number one, number one of all time.In the replies Paul asks the question "why did Queen do so well?". One of the reason is that they were...

With the help of the trusty local libraries I have been exploring more opera titles. I figured this was the way to go since opera is a bit dear and I want to make sure I like something before splurging. Anyway, while I still seem to prefer 20th...
Most of these come from the last century, so do songs get better with age? http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,836566,00.html What additions would you expect to see on the next list?
I guess this one of those things that only happen to classical music lovers. I have quite a bunch of Brahms symphonies - i.e. there's four Brahms symphonies, obviously, and I own various recordings of these. And yet I'm looking for a new set....
New technology was given a test in the USA, will this be the way forward? http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,56110,00.html I'm happy with a good tuner, closing my eyes and looking at the pictures in my head. Did anyone in the USA attend this...
I have just recieved the new Kathryn Williams album from my friendly Welsh mail order company.I bought Dog Leap Stairs on CD (before I had a TT) and it sounded good enough to make me buy her next album (Little Bl....) when it came out on Vinyl (nice...
November so far:The aforementioned Buck 65, Square is my first exposure to this rapper from Nova Scotia. This 4 track LP isn't an easy listen, but it's quite extraordinary if you give it a chance. The songs are 15 minute collages and have an epic...
New next week:quote:Album has no title, and neither do any of the eight tracks on it. Vocals have no lyrics, so fans will be invited to write in their own lyrics for the songs. Follow-up to acclaimed "Agaetis Byrun". Recorded in a converted swimming...
