| If you could remaster three cd's... I think we're getting mixed-up here. Firstly you can't expect either the U2 albums or Santanna albums to be remastered-one of them is just out. I think you mean re-mixed. This always puzzles me about recent recordings there seems to be a trend amo... | |
| Great Beatles CD If you've heard One the recent Beatles greatest hits then it's been remastered and it sounds great. I would be very surprised if the whole back catalogue isn't done so buy the old CD and then trade it in when the new one arrives. Please vote for m... | |
| Is it cabin fever or what??? I agree too Trelija. I'm reasonably new but it is in serious decline. I think Audiogon have blew it too with their revamp. Now I've seen a few threads that are obviously designed to win points and frankly they've been done before and are dull as d... | |
| Best Ambient Music KK-well not really but the styles overlap and some artists are seen in both categories. Ambient as I would descrice is mainly electronic based instrumental stuff- more sonics than songwritng. New Age on the other hand can be like this but is more ... | |
| Open Call To Arms Mezmo wouldn't agree the majority of new stuff is junk however it's virtually impossible to be original these days. I'm sure whatever kind of music you are into then there will be some decent new artists (or old)about. What kind of stuff do you li... | |
| Best Ambient Music I'm no expert but obviously Eno,Harold Budd and sorry to mention again Susumu Yakota's album Sakura possibly my favourite ambient album. I've really got into ambient and light electronica recently. | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? Ejlif-thanks for the info-I'll check those out. Also recommend Boards Of Canada on Warp records they had a single last year called A Beautiful Place In The Country -I've been searching for their only album from'98 called Music Has The Right To Chi... | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Cogito-I agree however to be fair what made Zep so great was the rate that they matured as songwriters and arrangers and the diversity of their material. They have left a stunning back catalogue | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? Snook2 if you are into Eno try a CD called Sakura by Susumu Yakoto on Leaf records. This is very like Eno a bit more contemporary and really amazing ambient music. Trust me. | |
| "Kid A" the new "Dark Side @ Moon" ? Strangely enough Radiohead's previous album OK Computer had very similar themes to DSOM although musically maybe a bit rockier. Kid A mmm not so sure but I do think they do sound like Floyd at times I think The Vigin Suicides soundtrack by French ... | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Cogito-Zep were pretty blatant in their early days for taking old blues standards changing little and crediting themselves. Willie Dixon in particular suffered and eventually Zep paid out royalties in the late 80's I believe. Dazed & Confused ... | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Beatles(yup they did rock too 'though not much),Led Zeppelin,The Doors,The Smiths,Pink Floyd,Radiohead,Steely Dan,The Who,Rolling Stones....otherwise mm we're into songwriters Springsteen,Dylan et al. The category is open to discussion as what's i... | |
| Best Music Review Resource Nope Eldragon I think out of the UK mags on Hi-fi-then Hi-fi News is the best--that's not saying much I'm afraid. The very latest Hi-fi+ (which I kind of like)is pretty disgraceful in terms of basically being an advertising vehicle for one famous ... | |
| SACD WINS! Jadem6 probably still too early to say however I would agree my intial thought that DVD-A would win out (due to the success of DVD)is now looking like a duffer. Hesitation in the DVD-A camp has meant SACD getting a head start and those in the know... | |
| Best Music Review Resource In the UK-two mags review music in this way and should I guess be available in the States or elsewhere. Hi-Fi + a quarterly mag and Hi-Fi News (probably the best hi-fi mag.)review music with regards the sonics...they seem reasonably accurate in te... |
