Just listening to the superb 'The Newton Plum' by Bed. Shades of Talk Talk/Mark Hollis, Hector Zazou, Brian Eno. Quiet, reflective and a beautiful, natural recording. Only one downer - unexpected crappy falsetto on one track a la Lambchop.Why oh...

Don't have much time to post and I know most of you don't appreciate R&B, but this is a good album. This girl is talented, really. Just wondering if anyone else picked it up after all the praise it received. Those of you who want to criticize my taste of music, please keep your fingers off your keyboard.

Now I seem to have adopted the library attitude on music, buy it, if its not that great keep it you never no one day...Especially with the excellent deals available on vinyl this is even more so, if its 50p I seem to be buying.Well anyhoo, I bought a...

Does anyone have any experience ordering LPs from Fantasy? Their prices are terrific - LPs generally go for $9.98 (with free US shipping on orders of five items, 10% discount on orders of ten or more) which is dirty cheap. Keep in mind that these are...

I just picked up Maurizio Pollini's new Schumann disc yesterday. This time around he plays Kreisleriana, the Allegro Op 8, and the Gesange der Fruhe, Op 133. All are expertly played. I have definitely heard better versions of Kreisleriana, but Pollini...

Guys (and gals?),I’m not inviting anyone to brag about their sexual prowess (nor am I trying, ahem, to do so myself), but during a rather pleasant encounter with the opposite sex a while back I found a certain piece of music in my collection to...

Has anyone used this site in the US?Are they fast, reliable etc etcThey seem to have a mountain of hard-to-get stuff.Gotta feed the CDX right?TIA

I have recently come by a copy of Alanis Morisette's latest album under rug swept .Normally, I wouldn't touch this kind of stuff with a pole, but it is brilliant - especially the last track Utopia.She has an excellent voice, the acoustic guitar work...

Remember, I grew up on a diet of punk and American hardcore, so am conditioned to kill all hippies, having said that I do own (and listen to) quite a bit of prog. On Saturday I got the following (among others) from the local second hand vinyl...

I need some direction for new CD purchases.I've been into the shops for the last couple of weekends and bought very little. I bought Eric Bibb, Painting Signs and Lambchop, Is A Women on recommendations from this forum and loved them, but on listening...

ChapsI spent a few days in Manchester on business last week and whilst cruising up the M6 I found Jazz FM on frequency 101.4I cannot find any trace of it down here in Swindon. Is it a northern only transmission or does it have some obscure...

Thankyou to Herm and Rainer. The Shostakovich Viola Sonata came today and made me late for work. Yes it is better than the other recording I have. There seems to be both more feeling [emotion] in the playing and more dynamic range. It also seems more Russian. Herm, I disagreed with you about this being depressing music. I still do, but I can now hear much more melancholy in it. Thanks again. Steve

For your information the London Version of Jazz FM is now testing on Sky Digital and therefore available nationwide. It does not yet appear in the Electronic Programme Guide.To receive it go to the Services MenuPress 4 System SetupPress 4 Add...

Aside from Roger Dean has anyone else contributed to this artform?? What are your favourite albums rated on cover-art alone?? Roxy Music comes to mind if you call that art...and I do!

Re-listening to "Baptism" by Joan Baez recently made me realize how lousy production/engineering can damage the work of even the most determined and talented musician. The production on this album is really dreadful; bright, hard string and wind...

All right, time for another batch of favorites. As with the prior threads the intention is to find out what people find themselves listening to frequently rather than a list of the “greatest” concertos. There will no doubt be much overlap....
