| Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend.... I really do like Wilco's YHF however I would argue that half a dozen or so plays should be enough to decide if you like it or not.It's not that difficult an album except maybe if you only listen to really mainstream stuff.... | |
| The Recording Producer I would say it's totally down to the artist,of course then the ability of the producer comes into play.It's really what the artist wanys to protray and project with the music and in some cases the producer is almost like another member of the band... | |
| SACD-Heathen David Bowie Sean,I was reasonably aware of Bowie at the time,my older brother was a big fan in the 70's so I heard classic era Bowie growing up,on vinyl,on a record player that probably cost £5-:-)I haven't heard anything on vinyl for a long time I admit and ... | |
| SACD-Heathen David Bowie Sean-mmm-I think perhaps this is where I and audiophiles start to diverge.I can find nothing "lo-fi" about this records production whereas you may not like the actual production by Tony Visconti-I tend to think it's been put together with a whole ... | |
| Best off the beaten bath x-mas music..... Low-Christmas EP | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Zaikesman I think you've taken me slightly wrong-I do think my criticism of the Lips is justified,the fact it's not the reason you like them then I accept that.The list you mentioned seemed to indicate to me you were maybe brought up in that Punk/... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Zaikesman I think it would be fair to say you like a fair amount of "critics" artist such as Chilton's Big Star and your attitude tends more towards the NME hip type scenario they started in 1976 where there are clear dividing lines between what i... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto I think the last Wilco record was pretty good-I think it was a much better marriage of their alt-country roots and new technology/sounds than their previous record Summerteeth which I really didn't like.I admire your stance Zaikesman because you a... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Zaikesman I am going to give you an alternative viewpoint on what little I've heard of The Flaming Lips-I don't like them.I heard all of The Soft Bulletin and found it vastly overrated.The new one what I've heard so far just makes me laugh-it soun... | |
| Are they ever going to remaster the Beatles? Well they were recently remastered on the One compilation. | |
| No good new music? Richingoth I have those two as well- both quite likely to make my top ten.................... | |
| No good new music? Lazarus-Ryan Adams Heartbreaker is from 2000-he's had 2 records released since then Gold (2001) and Demolition this year. | |
| No good new music? I probably bought somewhere in the region of thirty or so.There is usually always some good new music about it's really a case of researching your preffered genres and taking the odd risk.I'll post my top ten or so releases a bit later-I tended to... | |
| CD vs LP - Who cares when it's a crappy recording? Of course there is much difference of opinion about what constitutes a great recording as there is about different formats.I actually care more about the music than the recording and that's another set of opinions again........ | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Sugarbrie-I'm no expert on the changes on gun laws but I do know there was massive campaigning for changes when the Dunblane(Scotland) tragedy happened about 8 years ago.This was when a maniac with a LEGAL gun permit shot and murdered some 17 or s... |
