Hey all, Having been into KC for a while and owning their greatest studio albums already i was curious as to which live albums are worthwhile. I was browsing a record store last week and saw a 3cd japanese release covering 3 concerts which got me...

What's your favourite Movie Soundtrack. Personally I can't think of anything close to Super Fly. Unusually the soundtrack out grossed the movie, although that may be a reflection of the popularity of the movie. The remastered CD is excellent and comes...

I would have to go for "In The Evening"..Why..? Bought the album when it was first released and loved the first track...Knebworth had to be next and a friday evening around a capsite fire....Saturday festival with Zep..Nightime asleep...

I see that DG/ Eloquence have a symphonies box they say is newly remastered. I'm concerned with orchestral balance and I hope that the music isn't far out front and hot. Thanks

Named 'The Prog Boat' on a thread on another 'media' forum or just google 'Cruise to the Edge' The whole thing is just surreal.  My favourite has to be 'ZEBRA' - the guy in the middle suffering severe hair envy is hilarious. Enjoy. G

Hi All I heard this track on Radio Paradise.  It's the second time I've heard it, and both times it struck me as beautiful.  It's from his Guitar Voyages album which only seems to be available in the States.  Has any heard...

Reason I ask is I have just received my new Eva Cassidy via Amazon and it has quite a few probs but am I being picky.Disc one warped but no probs playing but quite few crackles track one and two also one channel slight crackle . Is this just par for...

I have only recently been fully aware of these guys but remember the Rosebowl thing and have Violator and Delta Machine. What are the in-between albums to consider? Music for the Masses? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm posting in hope of a few recommendations. I'm looking for some quiet music (I'll avoid using the term 'background music'!), music that can be played as a sonic backdrop for reading, writing etc... quiet times. No need to suggest the...

very sad news ...great conductor of Berlioz and Sibelius, Sister

Prog is great for its huge dynamic swings and multiple layers and instrumentation. Possibly the best sounding - on Chrysalis first CD pressing is this:   What do you think? (Typing as my ears are compressed by the bass pedal on Firth of...

Just purchased this box set, and two things. I don't have a dedicated DVD-A player so all the files default to 48/16, as I understand these are the files the player accesses if you do not have a true DVD-A player. Ayone know any workarounds for...

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you guys from the south east wanted to meet up at the rock box in camberley for record store day. It would be nice to meet some of the members there. Many thanks, Mike

What would be your recommendations for complete sets, or good recording of a selection of the total collection ?

In all recent live performances of classical music I attended the piano was always riding a wheeled carriage without having its legs anchored to the stage. I wonder why the instrument was never lowered before playing it and how the sound was altered...

I seem to spend most of my time listening to music without voice accompaniment. Mainly classical and jazz. I'm getting old? Anyway...I have noticed that, with time, this tendency sometimes causes me to find sung lyrics to be an unwelcome distraction,...

£79.99 for the box set with the DVD-A 24/94 5.1 sample disc also in the box set. Has anyone got this disc and ripped to WAV at 96/24? Is it worth the whole set for this version, 4 other discs are the complete re-matsered 2011 album plus 2 discs of demo material, all 44.1/16. Thanks Dan43
