Music Room

I can honestly say, that aged about 13, I had a Dansette record player with a Stereo cartridge, which I put one channel through the built in amp and the other channel through a Philco radio with an "Aux" input.Listening to Manfred Mann's Earthband,...

My first real Music Forum Post, anyway I thought I'd give some insight into this genre of music.Bore you with some background first:For years since school/college/uni/etc... I've loved this style of music, I recall my first visit many moons ago to...

Is there any music similar to Dreadzone? I understand the dub kind of scene, but DZ seem to have a special flavour, anything else in this vein I should know about?

Sated by Satie, fed up with Concerti Grossi and the Boulez Baton, tired with equine jousting and salutary lessons from Saturn f2 I declare that, after all, Supertramp are the band of the century. Granted, they released 'Crime of the Century', which...

Since I discovered the joys of record cleaning, I've played a few formerly unplayably grubby records:JJ Cale - TroubadourMagazine - Real LifeShostakivich - Violin Concerto No1 (Oistrakh)Supertramp - Breakfast in AmericaElvis Costello - This Year's...

I was sitting here listening to a cd I've had for about a year and wondered why I hadn't brought it to the attention of the forum. Its just exqusite. The Cd is by Alec Stone Sweet and is called "Memory nad Praise" the label is Appleseed (2000). Alec...

If so, what is it like?CheersGoose

In terms of popular music, I think so. By poor quality, I'm referring to the bright, messy and compressed "mastered for car stereo" effect. For example, the following discograpies by these artists get progressively worse in terms of sound...

Okay, so what are your favorite pieces of solo piano music? I must confess that I love solo piano music. So much so that I’ve accumulated about 400 or so solo discs, and an unknown number of mixed discs containing at least one solo piece. My...

It happens to me once in a while, I get to stage where no matter what I have bought and no matter how much music I have I feel that I have nothing I want to hear, nothing I want to put on. Do you ever get this way?Anyways I normally find the way ot of...

Would it be permissable to ask (?): Does anyone out there have a tape copy of this concert? For private use, as the alternative is a dubious copy off ebay! Can return/pay postage/material costs, ...cheers tim PS> found the sound an extraordinary...

Recently, on the Bach topic, some of us have talked about liking Bach on the piano. For example Glen Gould or Angela Hewitt. Thinking about this, it occurred to me that, piano excepted, I almost always buy recordings made with period instruments. So I...

This is probably nonsense. Had the day off and was listening to Joni Mitchell then the line came:"I could drink a case of you, and still be on my feet"What a great line!A great picup line. (don´t now if that is the correct frase in english)....

Tentative first posting in the Music Room – Hello, here goes...It is often said that so-called smooth jazz, ala Jazz FM staple is boring, bland, muzak etc. Must admit listening to daytime Jazz FM in the car, they stick to rigid formula of a...
