Has any tried the limited edition LP style CDs from Japan? I've noticed that XTC & Frank Zappa are being released in this format and the artists are of interest to me. Also there are some Pink Floyd albums too. Has any tried these? Are they worth the ...

At the end of a nice evening around a fondue and lovely white wine, we again talked about what's-better-CD-or-LP, and a friend of mine raised the question of the first CD ever released in the world.Apart from the very first one - which I think must be...
Hi there, Just want to share this with you, perhaps someone already mentioned them in this forum. I bought the Zero 7's album when it first released, it is very good album, very mellow & very AIR (The French band; or you can even say more AIR than AIR, if you have AIR's latest album, you will understand what I mean, it's so different to Moon Safari', sound much harder). If you like Kruder & Dormeister (Tosca, Peace Orchetra ... etc side projects), Kid Loco, Dimitri from Paris, Nightmare On...
Has anyone got or heard the new Jack Bruce album? What do you think of it?
I recently purchased a TT and would like opinions on the re-issues. I have noticed alot of Dylan, Miles Davis and many other artists being re-issued on vinyl. Are they worth the price of admission or should I look for the older pressings? What...
the very first tuner than i bought (around 1974) was an Audiotronic from Lasky's (at about GBP45.00, i think) in Tottenhan Ct Rd, London. When i got home and connected it up to the matching Audiotronic amp and when i switched on, the song "ricky dont...

Who can help me?I was a subscriber of the CLASSIC CD magazine, until it closed down.The concept of the cover CD, with music samples explained in the magazine was quite interesting and I regretted its shutting down.Is there anything comparable around...
Haven't bought much music lately due to cash flow problems (i.e., spending it on other toys and diversions), but couldn't resist XtraKcts and AretefaKcts on the Papa Bear label (here) by BPM&M, which is drummer Pat Mastelotto and engineer Bill Munyon taking various Crimson rehearsals, jams, etc. and giving them a good and hearty remix. Tremendous piece of noise with plenty of good beats and great artwork to boot. Not available in the shops, but a good enough piece of sonic mayhem to order...

i love keith jarrett -- but i have to say sometimes i find his improvised vocal accompaniments somewhat off-putting wheni want to hear his brilliant piano playing. am i missing some deep idiomatic significance of all this??i am currently enjoying...
Can somebody please tell me who did the original version of 'straight up' as covered by Thea Gilmore on her recent EP. This is driving me mad, I seem to recall it was some euro bubble gum band and that I hated it at the time! The EP is great by the...

I just saw the British TV film "Traffik", which was absolutely superb. Much better than the recent US version "Traffic", BTW. Question is: what is the Shostakovich composition played repeatedly throughout the film? The end credits refer only to "music...

last night's Prom with Renee Fleming. I listened via my NAT02 and watched via the tele. Renee's voice control was something to behold/hear and she portrayed so much emotion. The visual really adds to the aural.I'm not a great fan of Strauss usually...
With the recent resurgence of vinyl, my interest in this format has been renewed. Does anyone know of a website that keeps track of whats available on vinyl and new vinyl releases.
So, I am trying to update my jazz collection, and am trying to update some of my old (circa 1987) jazz CD pressings with some of the newer remasters. Much of the music I am looking for is available in both the JVC XRCD process and the Prestige 20th...
