For any Josh Rouse fans out there he is re releasing some of his earlier albums on vinyl. The superb 1972 is just £11.98 on Amazon. Gary
Vapor Trails has long been rightly regarded as one of the loudest, most distorted albums ever (Californication and Death Magnetic are the other two most infamous records). I finally got my hands on the vinyl remix this evening and it's a...
Hi all, Just a quick post to share two recent HD Tracks experiences. 1. Talking Heads - Remain in Light... 24/96 I think. Clearly different to the CD rip I have. Bigger window into the music without doubt, but a very different sounding mix also...
Splinter - Songs From A Broken Mind It came this morning, lovely 2 LP set, excellent cover artwork and a nice recording. It has to be the best thing he's done since Replicas and I'm loving it. It has a dark slightly somber mood to it, I think all the...
I had the pleasure of seeing Bonnie Raitt last night. Unbelievable show with a crack band, She has not lost her edge and still plays a wicked slide guitar. Dead center next to sound boards with great acoustics. Will help appreciate my Naim rig when I...
Most enjoyable and informative about the music and the man, I thought. There's an interesting info page about the classic album here. http://tubular.net/discography/TubularBells.shtml#notesIns The prog is repeated on BBC4 late this ...
And on what grounds? For instance, is Alfred Schnittke, who died in 1998, still contemporary or now merely classical? Presumably, Sir John Tavener, who is still with us, is (still) contemporary? Interested to hear your ...
For forum blues fans out there....you might be interested in supporting this crowdfunding project to record the songs of Blind Willie Johnson. Rickie Lee Jones, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Sinead O'Connor, The Cowboy Junkies and many others...
...but only rich ones. Mute are re-releasing ALL of Can's studio albums, plus a previously unissued 1975 live album, in a mammouth 17-LP linen-covered box set with book. Apparently all the LPs have been remastered, to the band's usual high standards. Here's Mute's blurb: Following on from the success of The Lost Tapes, Mute and Spoon are delighted to announce the release of the long-awaited remastered catalogue vinyl box set, a 17 piece vinyl set on 180g vinyl housed in a linen wrapped box,...
I have the original NAIM CD's of this wonderful recording (the ones sold through NAIM dealers). As vinyl though is my preferred format I though it about time I invested in the 3LP vinyl version, I ordered it direct from NAIM and it arrived yesterday....
That will be $37,000 thank you!http://www.fuse.tv/2013/10/why-i-paid-37100-for-one-record
Does anyone know of good iPad apps that are good for cataloging CD's? I see a couple of examples on the App Store, that can scan the barcode and enter information into a database for perusal. They are quite pricey so any suggestions are ...
Heads up. Friday 25th. 9pm - BBC4. Link. Followed by the fillum. John.
Dear all, Just found this nice report under http://www.buzzfeed.com/mariasherm/best-record-stores-around-the-worldI know there are more than 27 breathtaking record stores around the world, takefive in CH just to mention one, but...
Had a very enjoyable evening yesterday. Went to a PRS Guitars evening with my complimentary ticket to hear/see Bernie Marsden. Spoke to him for a while. Seems like a very nice bloke, who is even more 'avoirdupois challenged'...
Alison Goldfrapp V Beth Gibbons. Who's the better performer?
Dear Forumites, Here at Naim Label HQ we will be clearing out our back catalogue of vinyl test pressings. Rather than see them go in the bin we would like to invite forum members to offer them a good home. We can’t make any promises about pressing quality or what sort of music you will receive, but that might just make listening all the more exciting! If you would like to receive a selection of our test pressings please email us at info@naimlabel.com with your postal address and we will send...
From the Mars HotelLive DeadAnthem of the SunAmerican Beauty This is my collection to date - Any other 'must haves'? I like (well recorded) live and studio recordings so not fussy on that score. Thanks in advance. G
Having just received the Bryter Layter reissue LP which is very good I noticed that Amazon have the upcoming Five Leaves Left LP on preorder for £10.74. It's due for release on August 26th. Steve
Open to suggestions for this his most famous symphony, especially in conjunction with other works to flesh out my Dvorak (right now I only have his 7th by Monteaux & the LSO.) But I want to find good recordings of good performances. And thanks in advance.
In an ever changing world this album is just what you want from Mr Macaloon. Everything intact; that unique voice, smart lyrics and gorgeous melodies. The rest of the band are actually absent but immaculate production means you'd never really...
I would like to start with this. Mainly because of how hard and expensive it is to find the original vinyl ... regards Graham
Just recently I opened a topic seeking comments and advice regarding the upgrade (or maybe more like polishing) options for my system. The main response however was that I only should buy more music instead of trying to add any electronics to the current set up. This was one of my own original options also so it seems that this alternative deserves a little more thoughts. My record collection is not that large so there are a lot of new discoveries available I am sure. Yet it seems that most...
I am intrigued by the piano music of Debussy - I have already the CD from Angela Hewitt and now look to something more complete. It looks like three choices emerge and I would like to hear from you what you would recommend, or perhaps you have even...
