Sad news, I have just heard that Rick Rosas of Neil Young's band has died. From Neil: RICK THE BASS PLAYER November 9, 2014 It is with great admiration, appreciation and sadness that I note the passing of Rick Rosas....
just bought the album " The Ancestor Circle '. It's description of what it's about is quite interesting in that the artists are channelling the shamanic , medicine man , " music that sets the reset button'. Tribal cathartic vibe.., Steve Roach and...
very disappointed it does not remind me Pink Floyd
I've been listening to these very late Bach works lately. I quite like the recording by Giuliano Carmignola and Andrea Marcon. Carmignola plays a baroque violin. Anyone else familiar with these? BBM
With any music, is any listening or performing experience supposed to be about the musical value we hope to derive from it or is it simply about the sound (i.e.. harpsichord vs. piano vs. ?) or other arbitrary rules insisted on by many? A relative recent phenomenon or movement in the last century seems to impose a rather harsh set of rules on playing or listening to western art music. Rather curiously though this imposition seems to start with and be squarely placed on the music and...

...not pay-channel, in case that's what you're thinking. A rather fun programme I found on Radio 4: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n62k3 Having listened to it and read the playlist on the website, I've just ordered Sailing the...

Has anyone bought from analekta.com? It is a Canadian classical label and web shop and they have a Beethoven symphony cycle with Kent Nagano and the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal which I'm interested in. So far it looks legit to me but...
I have just downloaded the new remastered, Hi-Res 96/24bit album, 'Imagine' by John Lennon. I am so disappointed with it. I was was hoping that it would blow my old CD version (2000) out of the water. I thought the new version would be louder, and...
I emailed HDtracks UK today, and asked them why the new John Lennon albums, which are now available in 96/24 Hi-Res downloads, are not available on their UK site. I was told it was because of record label restrictions. I then pointed out that the Paul...
Best concert this year has to be Fat Freddys Drop at the Ally Pally, Awesome
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYhrYHmUPn0 ATB from George Counterpoint is easily achieved in two parts!
There have been some interesting discussions regarding the music of J.S. Bach as of late. There have been some excellent recommendations made, as well as some discussion about whether these compositions should be played on harpsichord or piano....
a small heads up. I am afraid that I haven't moved to downloads beyond MP3 for my iPod. But this is a very special album and if you can cope with 'just' mp3s this may be of interest especially at this price! ...
I haven't heard it. But isn't it awful? Or "Tedious f*cking sh*te from a tax-dodging w*nker called Bongo and a bunch of sanctimonious t*ssers who wouldn't know what real life was if it sh*t on them from a great height. They haven't been...
Maybe it's just me, but, just occasionally, certain tracks just induce a great big spontaneous grin. The music and audio coincide perfectly. Latest for me is 'Did I Ever Love You' from Leonard Cohen's 'Popular Problems'. What's yours?...
These are my best sounding purchases of 2014. http://www.naimlabel.com/recording-wallflower-free-download.aspx
Awaiting for this album to arrive. Anyone else on here have this album? S.
Where is the best place to buy the above album on CD? Thanks. S.
Brandenburg Concerto Recordings - What Price, HIP? In the last few weeks I have been lucky enough to re-acquaint myself with Trevor Pinnock's estimable [and centralliy recommendable version as a stating point] recording on DG Archive. Then add the recent gift of Otto Klemperer's 1960 EMI recording with members of the Philharmonia Orchestra, and a feast of great Bach playing has come my way. Add these two recordings to the ground breaking recording by Adolph Busch [EMI,...
The Prelude and Fugue in E Falt Minor from Book One of the "48" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5S_MxBZVWM On the harpsichord, which does reveal both the tragedy and defiance in the music, rather than the sweetness that comes with the...
Brilliant! :D

Fantastic musician.
Has anyone else played the "Bill Plays Bud" album? It sounds sublime on good (Naim) hifi but not many have heard of it. Some lovely arrangements and complex percussion not to mention brilliant piano playing.
