This is more of a mini review.
There is so much music in this set that you are quite spoiled for choice. Nearly all of it is excellent and theer is no obvious filler, although not all tracks are to the highest standard.
You have the wonderful bluegrass playing of the Union...

I just bought the new Clearaudio/Deutsche Grammophone vinyl LP of „Violetta“ with Netrebko. It is the only major classical release on vinyl since years coming from a mayor label like DG. So as a listener of all medias (vinyl, reel, CD, SACD) I was very curious whether it is...

Calexico have cast aside their familiar mariachi brass and pedal steel atmospherics in favour of a more straightforward, song-based approach on fifth album Garden Ruin. ...

Details Artist: Christina AguileraRecord Title: Back to BasicsYear: 2,006
This album is so horrendously recorded, I can't listen to it. Its incredibly noisy and compressed etc. I have never heard music so completely ruined as on this. Except perhaps the Killers.
It does however come in a beautiful package. Its prepared in the way 78rpm albums of the 20s and...

...but i woke up just in time.
The special duke releases the latest and the third in his series of 78rpm singles. All are taken from his album, Songs from the deep forest. If your player doesn't play 78, like me, don't worry! The B-side includes the A-side as well as...

Duke Special - Portrait

This surely is one of very few 78rpm records to be released this year. Duke special seems to be a nostalgia freak. And that comes from a vinyl obsessive!. His cds are printed to look like old shellac records and his singles come out on the 78rpm format.
Philistine as I...

There's nothing more hateful in the music industry than a cheap gimmick tagged on to a mediocre artist by some money-grabbing suit behind a record company desk. You know the kind of thing I mean, trendy haircuts, polka dot dresses, matching suits, a 'the' name, or some hideously quirky packaging...

Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

Details Artist: Gnarls BarkleyRecord Title: St. ElsewhereYear: 2,006
Albums this hip don't usually spawn chart-conquering singles. But the success of "Crazy" should guarantee that this genre-bending record escapes the ghetto of 'underground cool'. Gnarls Barkley are ex-Goodie Mob soul eccentric, Cee-Lo and underground masher-upper extraordinaire, Danger Mouse. While the latter is no stranger to infamy, being the...

When i fist listened to this record I thought it was dense and uninspiring. Luckily that feeling didn't last long. Actually the songs are catchy. They are pop. And they are listenable. Scott Walker being one of Jarvis' great idols(Scott produced Pulp's 'We love life') I was worried that Jarvis...
