Then do yourself a favour - Paul Jones is starting a new 6 part beginners guide to the Blues this wed 13th on BBC Radio 2. Essential listening I would imagine, as he truly does a great job of broadcasting all aspects of the genre.Be sure to catch his...

Whatever happened to these guys? Amazing voice. Listening to Peace at Last album now. F**king amazing in bits.Rgdsredeye

I got Vol 2 "Live in the seventies" a couple of weeks ago and it's an excellent set, great music and great sound quality.This got me thinking about Vol 1 the studio set. The reviews on Amazon rave about the music but there was one review which...

I watched 'Once more with feeling' over the weekend. I'll come out right away and say that I'm generally a fan of Musicals from South Pacific to Dancer in The dark. I thought the Buffy episode was brilliant - some great songs and not a trace of the...

i have grown to like this kind of music -- have a number of "complete odes and welcome songs" -- which i play quite often. another that visits the cd player quite often is "mr henry purcell's most admirable composures" ...and oh, "countertenor duets"...

...and 'Climate Of Hunter'. Anyone know where to source these albums -- either on vinyl or CD. Everything else from Scott's catalogue is available, except these two... I've tried Amazon, eBay, eil.com, Google searches (the musicmachine.com had sold...

I just visited this site and found a handful of Cds that I'd been after at less than half european price. It's a secondhand CD site.Second SpinPeter

Are there any Lori Lieberman fans out there. I heard her singing live at some fair somewhere years ago maybe at Live 91 or some such place and immediately bought her current Cd which has been in the car boot changer ever sinceI've been trying to find...

Finally received it Saturday past and have not made up my mind yet. Some songs done well, others...so-so...a good job on selection of tracks, though...

Classica D'Oro just released cheap transfers of Bruckner's 8th and 9th conducted by Wilhelm Furtwangler in 1944. As I had neither, I bought the 9th first (I have both 1949 recordings of the 8th) to sample and was pleasantly surprised. This is among...

What is the Music on the new Levi commercial?

I'm a massive fan of Loudon but most people Ive spoken to have never heard of him. Anyway if you are a fan I have just found his new UK tour dates...http://www.maguire22.freeserve.co.uk/loudon/Cheers

I got Mosaic's latest brochure today and they say they're going to do and EL/JV box in the near future! This is amazing news especially for lovers of hot jazz since Columbia/JSP/Koch et.al. keep recycling the same 50 tracks out of the 100+ that they...

Was taken out as a surprise by my wife to see Martin Stephenson minus the Daintees live last night and really enjoyed it at Blackheath Halls in London. Cabaret style tables, bar, candles, great acoustic guitar playing, fantastic voice, great...

I really do not want open this debate again (it tends to attract a certain type of response) but I happened upon a new Dylan track on Radio 2 the other day. Well...it was frankly terrible are even his deciples finaly going to admit he has lost it. In...

This was a triple LP set was released in 1974, originally as a Japanese Sony release. I have an early CD of this. It was just about Santana's best band ever, corrsponding with his best two albums ever (IMNHO) - Caravanserai, Welcome (OK, so Welcome is...

My vote goes to the amazingly banal 'Heart' with 'All I wanna do is make love to you'. Heard it on the radio today and was reminded just how bad ,lyrically, a song can be. 'He brought the woman out of me, many times, easily' is just one of the many ...

Looking for quality in performance and recording quality, particulary Bach, Mozart, and Chopin. Thanks.

One thing I have noticed the better the system that I have listened to is how much more revealing it is - how much better it is a resloving those finer details.Has anybody pinpointed any obvious mistakes made by the producer or artist when listening...

I've just bought the Classic Records pressing of Miles Davis - A Kind of Blue. This is the recent single album version.It sounds absolutely superb. Much more live sound than the CBS standard version. Trumpet sounds more mellow and refined.I'd highly...

Just received through the post; his collaboration with Tom Robinson and Steve Knightley (Show of Hands); called Faith Folk and Anarchy.Simply recorded acoustic stuff. Sounds great.

Anyone have the double LP of Cave's newest effort? 2 records, 2 bonus songs. I suspect it's good, but have experienced mediocre results on previous 2-lp releases of single-cd works. (Either lousy vinyl or lousy manufacturing, they sound thin and get...

Over in the "Sorry But" thread Fred suggested some arm-twisting for a follow-up to Dreamhouse.Anna, Paul, please insert arm here, and consider it twisted!Pete.
