If you want to give your speakers a serious work out, then you should have a listen to LOUD by Timo Maas. This album reminds me of why I love Naim electronics. Lots of fast, deep bass and strange twiddly noises are dotted throughout the recording with...
Can anyone recommend some good Japanese Hip-Hop? No idea where to start, but I know I'll like it. Oh, and since I can't make to to Shizuoka prefecture anytime soon, please recommend acts that are findable in the colonies.TIA,mike
Just thought it would be fun to have a thread where we could post our most-cherished John Coltrane tunes. The "Jazz: The New Dance Music" thread got me feeling warm and pleasant feelings about Coltrane and motivated to revisit some of my...
. Found a really nice original Atlantic Lp of this extraordinary album. Humpty Dumpty is the funkiest, most groovin track! Charlie Haden lays it down. Quite brilliant. The addition of Ed Blackwell just takes the whole quartet to another level. His...
I lost touch with the old boy around about Enter K, (up till then I'd got all his records so didn't that mean that I owned him to paraphrase Energy Vampyres)?He has released several albums since then, has he stagnated or are they worth investigating?...
HiI have 4 KEF B200 (SP1014) bass/mid drive units I got from a friend who took them out of some damaged Linn Sara speakers. The Sara's had enclosure damage and one of the Scan-Speak tweeters had also seen better days, but the B200's are all in what...
Hi folks.I wondered if anyone knew of any Zappa forums on the internet (seeing as Uncle Frank had such a huge following) and if not, if anyone would be interested in me setting one up (I have the servers and the software, but don't want to go to the...
HiHas anybody got any recommendations for jazz CD's similar to Kind of Blue i.e. slow tempo sad tunes. I really like that album particularly the Sax parts so then bought john Coltrane's Blue Train I only picked that album because the cover looked...
“From The Heart” is aptly titled. Chris plays the piano as though his life depends on it; every note is laced with vulnerability. His improvisation with chords is a startlingly beautiful combination of delicacy and deliberation and his...
People have mentioned this artist in various threads.You might like to try Susheela Raman-Salt Rainhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005BJIG/qid%3D1012473185/026-6233490-6512439)A mellower sound, a voice rather like Natacha Atlas in some...
What on earth has happened to 'What hifi?' magazine?I used to quite enjoy its mix of cheapo and decent mid-range stuff.I havent read it for a couple of years but have bought the last couple of editions. Now it appears that nothing gets less than 4...
Bought the 'new' Nick Lowe album last week, wow! I honestly cannot recall the last time I was so impressed by an album! Excellent lyrics, good tunes, you know how songs used to be.

I've got far too many CDs on my shelves and there are a number that I no longer listen to. Selling them seems like the best idea but where and how? My local second hand CD shop offers upto £4 per cd, is this the best offer I'm likely to get?...
Just thought that I would like to say that I have bought the Henry Fool album ,and its pretty good to. I like Tim Bowness in No-Man/Samuelsmiles/ PT vibe anyway. The Henry Fool album is very good, very chilled, with some 'prog-ish' edges. Only...
yeesh,I put a bid on E-Bay for this CD just so I could have Q Lazzarus' "Goodbye Horses"- it's the song from the Buffalo Bill scene in Silence of the Lambs.In the last hour, the bids skyrocketed to 70 bucks CDN. Needless to say I dropped out of...
Hi folks.I've a few (relatively obscure) CDs I want to buy, and I'd rather get them on the 'net. Any recommended sites (other than Amazon) - junk like cdnow.com and 101cd.com are so woefully out of touch with my music, and I don't know many...

can anyone tell me a bit about his music, amazon tells me that people who buy the music I buy also bought him, but I ain't never heard of him!
Finally after a long departure from writing recommendations in the Music Room, I've compiled a list of recommendations from recent purchases.T-Bone Burnett "The Talking Animals" - Already I have this album on vinyl, but it has only recently been...

I'm replacing many of my jazz discs due to unfortunate environmental circumstances beyond my control so, I thought I'd check out the most musical sounding versions of some of the Rudy Van Gelders, etc. I remember liking the '50s stuff, the Monks and...
