Anyone tried this new streaming feature on Pitchforkmedia that streams new albums before release? If so does it actually work? I get an odd text based page with an icon for an apparent media player which never seems to load up. it just looks...

Mick was talking on BBC Radio 2 this morning.Month mentioned was October for England.Stevie and Lindsey had started work on new songs a while back but Stevie's mother died.It was put on the back burner until now.They are going to tour and play some...

There is a new series, starting on TV this coming Saturday evening which should actually be worth watching. 'Howard Goodall's Story of Music'. If not obvious; the title links to programme info. Set yer VCR's folks. John. 

How do you like your running order on artist compilations?By and large I go for the format of the 2 big compilations of my youth, the red and blue Beatles. I like to see the progression through the years and find myself programming non chronological...

PROLOGUEI am sure the vast majority of us were music lovers a long time before we were into audio. In my early childhood I hooked up large antenna arrays into the orange trees outside of my bedroom so I could get my (tube) radiogram to pick up...

Now that I have decided to move gradually streaming only, I intend to be very careful of my music purchases in general and my hidef downloads in particular.  I have decided my first download will be Kleiber's Fifth and Seventh in 24 x...

Of the well known there is Leonard Cohen as the depressive-poetic.  And of course the arch-miserablist Morrissey of The Smiths, who is greatly loved and loathed in equal measure. Which other melancholic, depressive,...

Just rummaging through some old free CDs from the Sunday papers and found Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene remaster as a free cd. Remastered in 2007 as 96/24 and on the CD its 44.1/16 but it does sound really good, and it was a freebie in a...

I have been buying a lot of old vinyl over the last 12mths. I can clean the vinyl no problem; but the covers are a different matter. Has any one any tips? Regards Graham.

All just been playing the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss cd Raising Sand. Musically excellent, sound quality is excellent too. With the exception of background hiss that you can hear start at the beginning and fall at the end of each track and on some even when the music is playing. On sum you can even hear humm. On old analogue recordings I can understand it as it is tape hiss. But as all new recordings are digital on digital tape why do we still get hiss...

Just curious how many on this board are fans of the Grateful Dead? Show yourselves people 

Hi Mates! What are the best recorded albums you own or heard ?

Four staggeringly talented individuals in one group - who also happened to mesh together telepathically. No wonder they were so good. Perhaps the best rock frontman and vocalist ever: leonine, rail-thin, back in the 1970s he represented...

From Head Records in Belfast  I think you can buy via their Facebook page, if you are not in N. Ireland

I have heard this work many times, just wondered which is the best of many recordings to buy.Some people say that the Davis recording is the one to go for, what do you guys think.I would be grateful for your comments.

I was 12 and all we had was Radio Dublin ( a pirate station) and TOTP on what we called "piped" television (quasi legal re-transmission of Welsh TV. This is some of the first chart of 1978. This was the year I started buying some of these 7 inches....

Whenever we get ice, snow or just a heavy frost I always give this title a play; Best described as the best Tangerine Dream album not actually released by the band, the analogue synth sounds convey images of frozen tundra and arctic winds (to me at...

This (well most of it) looks good - starts in February: On the 50th anniversary of the famous 12-hour session at Abbey Road which resulted in the Beatles’ genre defining Please Please Me, leading artists including The Stereophonics, Mick Hucknall and Gabrielle Aplin will attempt the same feat, in the same timescale, in the same studio. The results will broadcast live on BBC Radio 2 in exact order and timing on Monday 11 February and will be captured for a BBC Four special, 12 Hours To Please...
