All--If there are any Bill Frisell fans out there who do not have his new album, The Willies, it is worth running out and buying. The album features Frisell playing American bluegrass//folk/roots music, supported by Dan Barnes on banjo and Keith Lowe...
I went to Fabric on Friday, London's best super-club. Bloody Hell, the music really kicked off big time. This was explosive Drum and Bass, take no prisoners, leave your missus at home. Fabio, Peshay, J Majick, Bad Company, with MC's. The Sound system...
All-time favourite album has to be 'The Songs of Distant Earth' by Mike Oldfield. Not only is it an epic musical journey, but it tests most aspects of a system's capabilities. Check out the opening minute, it'll tell you a lot about your...

Anyone else heard the new album 'Lost In Space'?I've had it 2 weeks now. It is a bit more lush and 'produced' than Bachelor No 1 but of consistent quality. The lyrics are as sharp as ever. Only criticism I would have is that the pace is all rather...

Old hippies will love this, "wishing well" just out 2002. This is his best album for years.
I have a good friend in the record business who assures me that in many cases "remasters" are nothing of the sort, because the original tapes have been lost. Sometimes the source material for these releases are several generations down the line. The...
Looks like Naxos will be issuing a set of live performances led by Georg Tintner in repertoire other than Bruckner. Below is the list of works in the 10 disc tribute. I may have to investigate. (I'm not sure whether it's one big set or ten separate...
I was thrilled to learn a few weeks ago that Supraphon has begun a 42-title tribute to Karel Ancerl. Since picking up his set in the Great Conductors series as well his Brahms 1 and Dvorak 9, I have been more interested in the recordings of this...
The Late Junction crew have unleashed a series of CD's on the unsuspecting public. The music should be eclectic and marvellous like the Radio Show (it should even include a sprinkling of "suicide" music so beloved by Matthew Robinson, Tim Oldridge and...

Someone on the All time albums thread said:quote:And I would include Abba: The Album if side two was anything like as good as side one, which may just be the best side of any album ever This got me thinking, Great album side's backed up by a poor flip...
Doing a search indicates the music accompanying the intro sequence where Jack drives up for his interview at the Outlook hotel is by Bartok, possibly "Music for strings percussion and celesta". Could anyone confirm if this is correct and if so...
Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but the new Deram remasters are outstanding for old TYA fans.Undead is my favourite, as we now get the whole concert in its correct sequence. Brilliant recording for its time and location. TYA at their best, just on...
Something folky for the weekend, Linda Thompson 'Fashionably Late'.I bought this for my wife a month ago on the strength of great reviews as she has more folky taste than I. It is absolutely superb, songs of consistent quality and arrangements...

Hi there, (especially to the chill-out fan like Darryl) If you like chill-out music, you haven't bought a lot of individual bands album, with the likes of Zero7, Fila Brazilia, Royksopp, Nitin Sawhney, St Germain & Groove Armada ...etc. It is a great compilation to get. Even though I buy a lots of chill-out albums, I still get this double CDs. It includes some classic jazz artists with a twist (remixes), i.e. Nina Simone, Randy Crawford & Courtney Pine. Come on guys & you won't regret it.
