A few days ago I happened to hear about an organisation in London (Shoreditch) called the Proud Archivist who were running an exhibition of the late Storm Thorgeson's work and last night were hosting an event at which there was to be a presentation by...

As the title says...I'm no big fan of remasters (apart from Massive Attack's Blue Lines) but the Clash's Sound System remastering is worth hearing - especially for Give 'Em Enough Rope.If you have all the albums already, then maybe not worth paying...

 Maybe I was dreaming  but I could swear I saw someone listening to a copy of this album but it was a 2LP set. Does anyone own a copy and If so what's the SQ like, please?Thanks.KRTony

This is the tour I have been waiting for, managed to get General Admission Tix for Birmingham on Pre Sale, missed out on London though so will have to try on Friday when they go on general sale, really can't wait to see NIN's again :-)

No doubt CDs are dying, and who really cares? But vinyl seems to have outlived its prognosis. What do you suspect will be the fate of all those meticulously cared for LPs in your collection once you turn to dust? Will your vinyl ever be heard by...

Sorry if the title is bad English but you will get the idea.The second album I ever purchased as a teenager was 'Queen I' by Queen. After seeing Gary Mullen/A Night of Queen Music the other evening I decided to give it a spin after not...

...so what music do you keep for this time of year? I really can't stand the overplayed tosh that oozes out of shops like stale farts at this time of year (Merry Christmas Everyone, I Wish It Could Be The Same Irritating Chorus Every Day, that sort of thing), so I thought we could offer rather better suggestions to each other for Seasonal Listening. I came across these two on this very forum, and have enjoyed them hugely: 1) Ultra-lounge Christmas Cocktails 2) Mary Chapin Carpenter: Come...

Steve Wilson’s remix of Close To The Edge. So many versions on the DVD-A and even more on the Blu-Ray. It’s almost confusing. But it’s the remix that many are interested in. In terms of clarity and musical communication it’s like hearing it for the first time. Full marks. The Title track has a few extra flourishes, some subtle, some not, and as far as I’m concerned it’s all good. But over on side 2 (as I still think of it) things take a dive. OK, it’s a remix. It wouldn’t be a remix if it...

You drop them a line via the query form on line explaining you are UK resident your account will be 'unlocked' to receive HI-Res downloads. They probably have the best selection of all the providers. G

Hi If anyone is interested Qobuz have this excellent album reduced to eur 7.86 for 2 days only. Just downloaded and mighty fine it sounds too! Richard

Another set of great new choons from Richard. This is a separate post because I'd like some feedback on  the recording quality of this album from those who have it please. John.

Has anyone bought the Bob Dylan USB ?  If so can we have some thoughts on the quality of the FLAC albums. (I appreciate there is a fair bit to go at but some early thoughts would be good)

I would like to thank a very kind patron (you know who you are!) who sent me out of the blue 5x Rory Gallagher album CDs from the new Legacy series of remasters taken directly from original master tapes. They are of an excellent quality, full...

I suppose it's ironic, in view of Wilko's much-publicised battle with cancer, that Gypie Mayo has apparently died in the last fortnight.  It was great that he helped get the Feelgoods some commercial success after 1977. LAtterly, the...
