Two CD's arrived today - both Eddi Reader,

"Eddi Reader" &

"Angels & Electricity"

Both lovely - nothing else can describe her, she has the voice of an Angel.

Tonight, Friday,  two newly arrived DVD's in the post: 

" KATYN "  and  " JAMES LAST -  LIVE ROYAL ALBERT HALL  2007 "

A/V:  BV 8 with BS 3200 + BL 4000

( If I can stay awake that long ).

Just listening to the remastered version of Tubular Bells. Giving a pair of S45's a good testing too.

I'm on "For Lies I Sire" - the new Doom opus from the stunning My Dying Bride. Just a shame my RL140s aren't well!!

Currently listening to Tom Waits - Singapore from 'Rain Dogs' on Vinyl.

Great music, albeit about as alternative as you can get. I always seem to think of pirates whenever I listen to his music

Is anyone picking up the Live Lounge CDs from BBC Radio 1? i have these shipped over from UK to US and find them brilliant.

Some things british just dont seem to make it over the pond. we missed the UK garage trend, Artfull Dodger anyone and now these. well worth the shipping.

Hey Eugene - Pink Martini on my iTunes cabled to a BM 3300 with a set of RL60's up in the studio.

Its a beautiful Easter sunday where I am at. All my hyacinth are in bloom as well as the tulips and daffodils. the lilacs may burst through by days end. Good excuse to get out and do some yard cleanup.

Then I think I will fire up the grill have a few friends over for total heathen Easter dinner.

Hanoi Rocks - Don't you ever leave me

Sadly, they wrapped it up last night in Helsinki and I didn't have a ticket

Malcolm McLaren - Paris

Enjoying Frank Zappa Guitar on vinyl played by my Beogram 8002 and the Beolab 8000 system.

Philip Glass - Metamorphosis One

Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry

I never get tired of this song. I wish I had a version that didn't cut short the lovely guitar solo, though!

I Know you Rider - The Grateful Dead - From a bootleg live recording.

Budgie In for the kill on original 1974 vinyl.

Just got it today and it ROCKS!

Beogram 8002 as always the mainplayer. Only player aviable at present.

I'm listening to Archive - Noise right now, as I just found aout that they come to Luxembourg on September 20th.

Went to spend a couple of days with my mother in Indianapolis, (spring cleaning), picked up some old vinyl that was part of my deceased stepfathers collection.

I have an old Hugo Winterhalter - "Wish You were Here" album playing. Most of the vinyl is in really good shape but unfortunately it was all stored down in her basement so between the dampness, dust and her cats some of the jackets are in pretty rough shape plus they stink to high heaven.

Pink Floyd - DSOTM

Listening to it for the umpteenth time, but it still sounds as good as ever on a Sunday morning!

I've been listening to Pearl Jam for the last few days, especially the reissue of Ten, remastered by Brendan O'Brien. Sounds great, even better than the original album. Apparently, they are working on a new album right now. It should come out later this year.

I purchased some TV shows from iTunes and I have just discovered that iTunes/scrobbler/Last.FM are now revealing my TV viewing habits to Beoworld :-)

(when posted the first two episodes of LOST appeared in the signature block)

Yesterday I bought a 3 CD set of the Blade Runner sound track, unreleased sound track pieces, and Vangelis' new compositions in the style of BR.

Other recent purchases have been Francois Hardy (x3), Rod Stewart (x4), soundtracks of "Beaches" and "Big Night", Jane Birkin, Tracy Chapman, Skyhooks, and Creedence.

Just played a brand new 180gm pressing of Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms on Beogram 4500 with MMC2 which has just been reconditioned by Axel. Sounds stunning, especially side 2.

Roger Waters -  The Pros & Cons Of Hitch Hiking.

I am a huge fan of Francoise Hardy ! 

Most people in the states have never even heard of her.

Right now Im listening to Sia Furler's new release "Some People Have Real Problems".

Also relatively unknown in the states.

Bob Marley - Legend.

What I am listening right now is  FOURPLAY 's new album "Energy", some smooth jazz to make me dreaming of holiday and summer breeze in these grey days we currently have in France.
The setup used is a Beosystem 4500 with B&O Studiomonitors from Danemarks Radio, a really stunning pair of active speakers from the late 70s!
They are connected from the powerlinks of the Beomaster 4500 to their XLR sockets. Their sound is quite comparable to Beolab 5's!...  but this will be the object of a new topic in the vintage section...
