Hi all!Any Ron Carter - Fans out there?RegardsChristian

Since a large portion of the folks in this forum are from the UK, I was wondering if anyone has heard of/has any information on the group “The Durutti Column”?I currently have 3 discs of theirs which over time I have grown to love. However...

Been to a couple of good gigs this week, tha I thought I would report on. On Tues saw Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden play at Warwick arts centre, one of my favourite venues. Wonderful music, playing tracks off Missouri Sky, which is a must-have for all Pat or Charlie fans. They've only played live together about 15 times in 20 years, so this was a real treat. Only complaint was the half hour delay, and the fact that they played for less than 2 hours. Last night caught The Soundtrack Of Our...

In addition to my other musical pursuits – all things 20th Century, Haydn, Beethoven, Mahler, Thelonius Monk (recently started), Renee Rosnes, some Guilty Pleasures, others – I also find time to revel in the music of that whole Czech /...

I happened to be listening to Radio 3 yesterday mid-morning returning to my office, and had to pull over to listen some music that was utterly compelling - I think it was Thomas Ades' Arcadiana, played by the Endellion Quartet. This appeared to be a...

Can anyone recommend a good Erik Satie CD. I bought a cheap Sony sampler disc yesterday that's less than great.cheers,Nick

my girlfriend and i went with one of our friends to a gig in "spitz" off of commercial st. in E1 on friday night. the tickets were to see female singer songwriter "pina" whose debut album "quick look" came out a month or so ago.it's a great little...

Hello,Last week on BBC radio 3 I heard a track called 'Hana' by Asa-chang and Junray - it is kind of hard to describe. Sort of a very cool mix of the Tabla and electronica/samples - Japanese style. Anyone know anything about this artist? I'd really...

Yesterday I heard the single by Polyphonic Spree. They are a 27 piece band from Dallas. It is called Soldier Girl and I think Fierce Panda are putting it out at the end of July. Sounds like some outerspace collision with a rock band and an orchestra...

ChapsDo yourself a favour and buy "The Essential Barbra Streisand". It is a 2 CD pack and the quality of the music alone is superb. Also her voice is really something.A really great CD.RegardsMick

OK, hands up who has had to have a fix of 'Who's Next' following the demise of Mr Entwistle?That opening thirty year old analogue synth to Baba O Riley - Magnificent!Anyone have 'Scoop' with Townshend's home demo version of 'Behind Blue Eyes'....

Dear all,I was in Sainsbury's last night and bought this compilation CD for 9.99. I normally like compilations in the car but was quite impressed when I played it on my Naim system. Lenny Kravitz's "Going to go my Way" is excellent as is Page and...

OK, end of June beginning of July and we have bleated on about the new musical realeases of the year and how good they are, and how essential the are etc etc.But what are we still listening too? what realeases from June last year that we have all...

Just picked it up...I don't know much about her but I like the sound...any other rec's from this gal??

Karen came home earlier today having purchased a cd that she has wanted for some time,but never quite got around to getting. It was Faure's Requiem.With a happy expectant face,she put it on...Oh Dear ! - Not quite the spine-tingling musical experience...

any new bands around?Some time ago I was talking to a friend, who used to work, long time ago, as a night clerk in a hotel visited by a lot of musicians. For him the difference between the Amadeus Quartet and the Italiano Quartet was obvious. When the...

All--How many other Morel fans are out there? I bought "Queen of the City" based on Bob Mould's recommendation on his website, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Great stuff!Anyone know if the balance of his work is anywhere near as good?Best,Bob

This web page is great, if you like the jokes about rock guitar musicians having to have the most expensive equipment and how many notes per second (NPS) can be played on a guitar...Wonder if his Marshalls go upto 11??...

When I first began seriously listening to classical music it was the string quartet to which I turned the most often. Since then I have broadened my horizons substantially to encompass all manner of orchestral, instrumental (especially piano), and...

I might just be being a bit thick, but here goes:I need to get vinyl into 72 pre and then out to PC, where I can record with spin doctor.How do I do it?

I've got quite a few vinyl albums from the seventies encoded in SQ or QS. I've often wondered what might happen if this material was played into a modern AV surround amp what would happen in the decoding process. Has anyone ever done this and if so...

Just back from aforementioned. A great night, Roger was in fine form. Second half with later material was better than first half apart from a stunning 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' which closed the first half. Rog is looking more like Richard Gere with...

Not being a hardened folkie , this name meant nothing to me until a few weeks ago when I heard her first album - Black Mountains Revisited . I quite liked it but a bit finger in the ear and home knitted jumpers for me . But... the new album Lilac Tree...
