| Pink Floyd reunion Wright's contribution since Animals was close to zero (a fact he freely admits)and as such played a major part in the dissolving of the band and imho the decline in their music. | |
| Pink Floyd reunion Matchstikman-I slightly disagree but don't doubt that in many ways Roger Waters was the key man in Floyd.In my mind where they worked best is where they married Waters superb lyrics,music and visions with the great musicianship within the band.To ... | |
| Pink Floyd reunion Basically the band slowly fragmented-they all openly admit that WYWH was the last album they actually worked together in a band sense.Waters by becoming the main writer and leader became the very reason why Floyd continued and split.By the time of... | |
| Pink Floyd reunion Whilst you can never discount this one off sparking something I would think in all probability it'll remain just that a one off.Gilmour has been fantastically generous to charities in recent years by giving away tens of millions, he's had several ... | |
| Just got home from a Dylan concert I've seen Dylan live some 11 or so times in the last 16 years.I'm no apologist as his vocals can be terrible at times ( the early 90's were particularly bad) .Since the mid 90's he has imho got a better,much better grip on things.However he clearl... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release Chris,Don't get me wrong I believe a great tune with bad lyrics is still a great tune.Great lyrics on their own without the music isn't much-the magic happens when they blend and ignite and it DOESN'T need to be profund.I listen to a wider range o... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release Chris,I'm intending a full review on Lugs along with a whole pile of other stuff.I am far from making the definitive judgement on the music at this stage but it is clear already that lyrically it really is sub par.Moon in June wouldn't cover it.I ... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release If Chris Martin is a great lyricist then I'm a brass band.Only heard the album twice but the lyrics are awful. | |
| Does anyone do good protest music anymore? Timrhu I would suspect Dylan suckered you with that line the same way he did with the press.He had a lot more money when he wrote George Wallace and Hurricane. | |
| How's the quality of the HDCD's from China/Ebay Velo62-yes the HDCD light comes on with these discs-read my intial post again.If anybody wants to direct me to the information that Radiohead and Coldplay exist officially on HDCD I'll eat my words.The bootleggers realise HDCD attracts audio fans ... | |
| How's the quality of the HDCD's from China/Ebay I believe most of these discs are pirates.They are not official releases therefore I would suggest it is very probable that it is possible to put code on the discs that enable HDCD decoders and as Spiritualized says the volume is boosted but cruci... | |
| Good Quality Led Zepplin CD's do they even exist? Chadaudio816-I've just listened to Physical Graffiti again and to my ears these discs are identical.Perhaps one explanation is that the Grey box-set and the Japanese discs are of better quality than the stand alone American discs.It's all I can re... | |
| Good Quality Led Zepplin CD's do they even exist? Wildoats no,the box set I'm talking about (although I believe they are the same remastering)is the later one with the complete studio recordings-a 10 CD set.There is a link above for it.Chadaudio816-I really don't know what to say,I guess perhaps ... | |
| Japanese Zep CD's-the sound remains the same I'm sorry Jay Douglas there may be truth in what you are saying in general terms however I can assure you these discs are identical (Physical Graffiti)and THAT is the point of the post.These Japanese imports are not cheap and when members on this ... | |
| Japanese Zep CD's-the sound remains the same There are occassions when the same source tape can be mastered so that it sounds different e.g louder or even when it's tweaked in some fashion (for instance the Nick Drake remasters have different eq's/mixing)but for me that is remastering.In the... |
