Xann Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Have that on a t-shirt. Jarrett is pretty good, better than some of the classical players. Shostakovich was inspired to compose the Preludes and Fugues after watching a young pianist called Tatiana Nikolayeva. She was actively involved, encouraging Shostakovich to complete the cycle. There are two easily obtained renditions by Nikolayeva. One on Regis/Melodiya (on which many prefer the performance) and the other on Hyperion (much more polished production). Lovely.

mjmooney Posted February 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2013 I wonder if that is a genuine picture from the original Cammell Laird SC? Some time back on VT I posted a picture of my dad when he was captain of the CL football team - incredibly, in the 1920s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm enjoying picking the meat from the bones of HMV. Picked up this for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2013 Everybody should own a copy of Moondance (and Astral Weeks). Incidentally CED, your sig is a quote from my all-time favourite poem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Good choice, MacNeice is fantastic. On Van Morrison, it is next to impossible to hear songs from Moondance on youtube seperately. Not that long ago you couldn't hear any of his songs. He is notoriously protective of his music, and I don't think it is fully due to finance. You definitely benefit more from sitting down and listening to those albums (Astral Weeks, Moondance) start to finish, rather than listening to bits here and there. Not enough musicians/bands are 'album' musicians/bands any more, and it is a pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Shades Of Brown - 'S.O.B.' Groovy Soul, not unlike the Temptations. Supposedly one of Chess's rarest in its original form. Here's a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted February 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2013 I know we've had this conversation before Dave, but if somebody had told me back in the 60s that in the 21st century, anybody under the age of 80 would be listening to Bert Kaempfert et al, I'd have thought they were insane.

turnbull Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Local band from the early 80s, I rated them over UB40 at the time. Bought this album on itunes last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Best (well only tbf) Summoning ripoff I've ever heard. Lyrics based on Malazan Book of the Fallen. Some of the most epic shit you'll ever hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
