Hey, it's so much more fun over here in the music forum vs. the hi-fi forum! Everybody is friendly to each other!Anyway, I have had the 1990 Elegibo album for a while and it has a fantastic sound and is really exciting music. Anybody familiar with...
Ok many a moon ago Bowie had a tune out, I remember the tune sort of, at least I remember I liked it.However I only remember the video, he is looking into his bathroom mirror and singing and getting older and his girlfriend walks through etc etc.whats...
I'm not a big compilation fan but just wanted to quietly rave about Tom Dunne's "30 Best Irish Hits". Its about as far from tweedly dum as you can get. Includes the predicable (Lynott, Christy, Sinead), the unusual (Mama's boys) and the lost through...
Just browsing the 'Last 5 things you listened to' thread and noticed throbnorth was regretting the deletion of Banco de Gaia's stuff.Good News: they're being reissued!Snip from latest carbondisks.com mail-outBANCO DE GAIA Last Train To Lhasa CD 9.99...
Just had my recapped Amps reinstalled by Audio Councel and One of the CD's we used for listening wasShawn Mullins - Souls Core (I think)I am totally unfamiliar with his work but what I heard 4 - 5 tracks was fab.Does anyone have any opinions on this...
Having first encountered his music at the BBQ last Summer, took a couple of friends to see him last Saturday at the Stables, Wavendon. He was fantastic and now has two new fans!! For over two hours he enthralled the audience, working with a trio at...
Returned from Houston this weekend. Whilst there I bought John Mayer's album - Room for Squares - on the strength of a video on VH1.Of late I had kind of given up on finding intelligent well-crafted pop music (for obvious reasons) and was...
We've all seen the recent overrated and previous underrated threads, and while the threads are all entertaining, how about listing some recordings that are well received by critics, hyped by the industry (at some point in time), receive awards, and...
I have just bought a fantastic debut album'All follow everyone' by a new Band called 'Custom Blue'. I stumbled upon it courtesy of a free sampler and I must say it is one hell off an impressive LP. What it sound like? Well it is actually very original...
OK, heres the way it is. Once upon a time I had a very narrow minded view on music, if it wasn't done by a 'proper' band with 'proper' instruments then I was having none of it. crap I would say, Crap.Well since the introduction of SBLs, then a better...
Its on the advert for the new ford fiesta, the tag line is 'get out more'cheers
Finally got to pop my Rutles cherry and saw the film the other day. However, it raised an interesting question. Is Ricki Fataar, who plays the Harrisonesque character, the same Ricki Fataar who played drums on a couple of tracks on Crowded House's...
Alright ‘fess up. What are your favorites? And I do mean your favorites rather than a list of the “greatest’ symphonies ever written. I do expect a great deal of overlap, of course, but surely there are some not-so-great symphonies...
hi folks. i attended the gala opening concert at the church of st-jude-on-the-hill in central square nw11. britten sinfonia (strings) were performing.its not the sort of event i would normally attend, (far, far too posh for me...) but my trumpet...
Anybody here own or listen to De La Soul? I'm curious about a couple of their recent releases--Mosaic Thump and Bionix. They're both also pre-titled--Art Official Intelligence. Are they any good? How would the instrumentals be?Markus
If you like any of the above I strongly recommend the new movie "Scratch" which I just saw last night. It is a documentary of sorts that traces the history of hip-hop, scratching, etc--interviews the first guy who ever did a scratch, early influencers...
Which judging by my spelling I am not a member (nick)Anyway just saw some covers in the mana forum of this group, am interested, what are they how do they sound?regards.
Any recommendations on how to get rid of my old vinyl & earn a little money from it rather than just chucking it in the bin ? Ebay ? Take it to a shop (where?) ? Car boot ? Anyone here want to make an offer ? It's late 70s/early 80s punk/indie stuff - about 60-70 '45s and 20-30 LPs (e.g., buzzcocks, jam, ramones, smiths, cocteaus, you get the idea) Advice gratefully received.

It must have been a very hard job for Lambchop to follow up ‘Nixon’, the album that saw them teetering on the brink of massive commercial success. It must have been even harder to throw away the formula that created that commercial...
Dear AllI have unfortunately been added to the incresing number of people whose flats are broken into in London.Without going into too much detail the ***** took my full Naim system, threw on the floor my WT turntable and XX-IL cartridge (don't know...
Does anyone know of any good books on the history and development of rock?Anything from glossy picture books to academic studies that try to put its development within a cultural and historical context.TIAJonJon
Not sure if any of you have visited, but in Bournemouth and Southampton (not sure if they have any other branches)I recently found a CD store called Essential Music.They have a range of Classic albums (about 200) at £6 each - I recently got...

Clarinet FavoritesDo I have a favorite instrument? Of course I don't. All instruments are created equal; it just depends what kind of music they get to play.Still it seems the clarinet has a special place in most classical composers' hearts - perhaps...
