Hi there,There's got to be some hard core country music fans here on the Forum, can anybody point me towards a good restrospective of Hank Sr ?ThanksPeter
The CoralGot this at the weekend and it's superb. You've got to be a bit of a hippy at heart and there's nothing really original. In fact it's a bit like a 1966 Small faces album with a slightly more modern sound. But superb melodies, quirky twists,...
Not sure why I'm posting this or who for, probably just me!Last issue of HiFi+ had a review of the ECM Rarum series and flushed with nostalgia I just had to have the box set. Not the easiest thing to find. Couldn't even see it on the ECM website,...
Reading Q magazine last week I noticed that some shop or other was having a Bowie sale with lots of his albums reduced. I have none of his albums and have never really 'fancied' the thought of getting one - I'm not really sure it's my thing. However,...
I know that there are a few fellow devotees, so as today I have secured my tickets for the Forever Changes concert (inc. horns/strings I believe) Royal Festival Hall January 15th 2003 I am able to share with you that the front three rows were held...
This is fun, not least if you like, say, both Bruckner's motets and Paranoid.
I would recommend any fans of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Exhaust and the other Constellation / Kranky axis to give the above mentioned VO a try.Long building crescendos of layered sound, so most pleasant.DSOTD - Shave Your Tongue - Pleasure Dub
Joe's reformed his original band to do a short tour and record an album. Saw their sold-out gig at Oxford Zodiac on Saturday, and it was without doubt a classic gig, recalling all those nights watching New Wave bands in 1977-80. Fantastic playing,...
My CD of 'Salutation Road' is skipping on one track, any ideas where I can get a new copy. Have tried Amazon and local shops but it's out of print.Thanks,Colin
Anyone know of any reputable ones? Or sites / organisations that search for deleted CDs (like the out-of-print book services)?I'm trying to get a Lyrita CD of a 1982 recording of Lennox Berkeleys Sinfonietta Op. 34, recorded by Norman Del Mar. Cat....
Dear all,Having bought only 80s-90s-00s music since I could afford CD's, my collection contains no classical material whatsoever, which at times makes it very unfulfilling. Not wanting to end up with a pile of albums containing three minute snippets...
I concede that I am a bit late on this one, but what an album! Really fresh sounding despite the obvious influences. By the way, am I alone in thinking that Roddy Frames new Album 'Surf' is truely great.
I know it's a bit 'geeky', but I'd quite like to create a catalog database of my CDs/LPs. I've had a look at a couple of shareware products specifically designed to do this -Catraax- which appears very comprehensive, but has a steep learning curve and...
Who do you think are the greatest living composers today? Now, for all of you absolute relativists who would maintain that there can be no “greatest”, or that attempting to rank something as abstract and subjective as Art itself is...
Having just enjoyed One Beat, am keen to know if any of their older albums are good. Anyone heard the rest of their stuff?
After the abysmal response to my last post on the 21st Century Schizoid Band (poor even by the standards of my normal vacuous postings!) I did my own research (www.21stcenturyschizoidband.com) and went to see them at the Stables in Milton Keynes last...

Many years ago I was introduced to Pink floyd by my Step Father. He had a video of pinkfloyd live, I think it was the Momentry Lapse tour of 87. Anyhoo I was taken in by the lights and thought the band wonderfull.This was my first entry into the...
Looking through my collection, I hardly have anything by Robert Schumann. Any suggestions for the 'must-have' recordings. I have hardly anything apart from a few miscellaneous piano pieces and Dichterliebe with Fisher-Dieskau. I'm particularly...
Hi there, I am always a big fan of Nightmares on Wax, yet to buy the new ablum though. Les Nuits (or Nights Interlude) is a classic track for chill-out fan. Should be as well as Jazz fans, even though is not classic Jazz.In the Hi-Fi show last Sat,...
I bought the new (fifth) disc in the Petersen Quartet's on-going Beethoven cycle last week and must report. Alas, I cannot report that this is top-notch Beethoven. The disc is of the op 18/3 and the Op 127 quartets, and neither are world-beaters, nor...
