Ok,I have the Ginger Baker Trio'd 'Going back home', with Vharlie haden and Bill Frissell. Nice tunes, and good sound. I love the drum patterns that Ginger puts on the Disc and the bass from Charlie Haden, but Bill Frissel's guitar ... get's on my...

Just got back from the Dave Matthews concert at the Coors Ampitheatre in San Diego. Not a great start to the evening missing nearly an hour with the traffic and all but a bit of a disappointment. All the songs sounded the same to me - even "All along...

Anyone know if the version currently out is merely a cynical re-packaging of the version that has been available on CD for years or has the current release been re-mastered in some way? i.e. is the sound any better than the previous Decade CD?

After contributing to the Pet Sounds thread, and mentioning the resplendant 4CD box set, I am moved to wonder which other albums you think would benefit from the same treatment? Fun House has had it [haven't heard it but would be interested to hear from those who have] and you could say that Sgt Pepper & Revolver have had it [just] via the Anthology series. But what else deserves it? We're talking more than you ever wanted to know here ..... I would kick off with Ziggy Stardust - the current...

OK. many weeks ago I purchased from some poor schmuck on a booty the following: Black & White Blues - The Little Red Rooster Now this cost me a whole 30p, which I thought was a bit steep, but there you go. I havn't listenend to it untill today because when I first stuck it on it sounded awful, and I thought I had a dud. Anyhoo, today I cleaned it and it turns out it had a film of dust on it, almost like plaster dust or something, well now it sounds fantastic and I went through the whole...

I asked Steven what he used for listening to - here's the reply'I have a Musical Fidelity XA200R amplifier, Monitor Audio speakers, an Arcam Alpha 7Se CD player and a Project Debut turntable. It sounds pretty good !'In my experience with musicians,...

I heard a while back that the video of the Pulse concert would be released on DVD. Anyone know if this is going to happen?Jo

This is a bit of a long shot, but hopefully someone will know. On holiday recently I heard an absolutely stonking trance track which I found out was a Sven Vath remix of Wham's Club Tropicana called Dub Tropicana. The track was released last year and...

This evening on BBC2 (UK only...). Michael Portillo doing Wagner's Ring in 40 minutes.This is why I have a TV. OK 'Scrapheap Challenge' and 'Robot Wars' are momentarily entertaining, 'Buffy' is momentarily amusing,But if I wasn't already into the Ring...

Who wrote this again? I'm trying to find out on behalf of a mate who asked me to help, but thought I know the tune, I can't place the artist or the year...TC '..'"Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a Muffin..."

Berkshire Record Outlet (www.broinc.com) has been adding EMI titles rapidly for a couple months, including some closeouts by Stephen Kovacevich and Sergiu Celibidache, as well as some old, mono Karajan titles. I checked today and they have 1264 titles...

Flicking through this forum it appears that most Naim owners are into the classical,jazz and easy listening side of things.Whilst I listen to odd bit of classical, I predominantly listen to Thrash/Death Metal, Punk, etc. Is anyone else out there into...

Well, here it was, the weekend that went.Friday night was supposed to be a trip to London Town to 'The End' to see Bukem, Nookie, Angel and others. However we couldn't make it.Saturday night however was more succesful with a rather spledid evening at...

Just listened again to that live AC/DC and found out that their guitar sound was so wicked that they could have built their career on Madonna songs and still be a legend. Scrrreeechhhh ! Other guitar sounds I like are the ones of, say, Metallica,...

Well here it is, 27 years on this earth and music from the dire Rick Wakemans Journey to the excellent D&B of Big Bud. But alas a massive void in the collection. Mr Hendrix. But where to start? I notice on the shelves more best ofs than albums! To that end and my birthday on the horizen I have got my sister to purchase me the latest best of as featured in the Saab ads. However I fancy this won't get me the blues and voice of hendrix, which I know is good. so where to begin kind folks, what...

I've been lucky enough to get tickets (stalls, no less!) for the LA SO performance of Beethoven's 9th at the Proms. The first part of the evening is the Shostokovic October symphony - Can any one point me to the best CD of this?

I do not know about you, but I am highly frustrated by the fact, that the vinyl-version of by the way is twice as much as the cd. has anybody heard it yet? Is it worth the money - I mean the 28 Euro for the vinyl???

Tried to engage you music lovers with the Cinematic cd...total waste of time...so how about this?Really hoping some of you people know who David Lowery is??One thing I've noticed about the Naim/Mana forum thingies is how everyone seems to listen to...

This Journeys by DJ (Coldcut JDJ) mix has recently been released and deserves a place in the collection of anyone who is into dance music. I bought the, since deleted, original back in 97 or 98 and unfortunately lost the cover after it was stolen by...
