	CD: The Who - Who's Next (2000) Who's Next CD Remastered vs vinyl original 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful Is it just me or is the remastering actually a ruination exercise? Basba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled again just seem a little slower than the originals, the punch & excitement just isn't th... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: John McLaughlin - Extrapolation (1990) The Best of British 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful I'm proud to say that I bought this when it was first issued - the 'progessive' music scene in the late 60's was a very broad church but this was definitely on the outskirts but it has becom... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: Elvis Costello - Il Sogno (2004) Elvis Costello 'Il Sogno' For many years Costello has failed to find a limit to his musical abilities. It was obvious after the Juliet Letters that his classical capabilites were (a) different and (b) raw but interesting. I'd heard... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: Richard Thompson - Amnesia (1988) Don't Forget Amnesia! Last ? first: I bought it because my vinyl copy is aged and I can't find the tape version I bought a few years later. RT in this period was writing perfect songs with perfect arrangements. Even now after ... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: Oysterband - Trawler (1994) TRAWLER Oysterband Powerful! Some of this collection are re-recordings to include the influence of new band members and the sound is hardened and tightened-up. The early Hal-an-Tow is a slap in the face to those with preformed ex... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: The Verve - Urban Hymns (1997) Urban Hymns - an apt title I bought it finally because everyday since release a snippet of this injects itself into the background noise and it is always heard and always attended to. It is inexplicable that this is not regarded as one o... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: June Tabor - Echo of Hooves (2003) June Tabor - A Echo Of Hooves June Tabor is, without doubt, the finest interpreter of a song in the English speaking world. Any other superlatives I could employ have been ground into meaninglessness by over application to lesser voices. ... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: The Brodsky Quartet - Juliet Letters (1996) The Juliet Letters This is almost scary in it's aggressive honesty. Any one who's been through a divorce will feel stabbed by lines from it. Elvis Costello has defied the limitations of genre all the way through his rat... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (1995) Astral Weeks - 40+ years at the top! This is probably in every critic's " All Time Top 100 Albums". It deserves to be. There could be no 'bonus tracks' no 'previously unreleased material' or anything else that co... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
	CD: Radiohead - OK Computer (1997) The new Classical Music Radiohead joined the alltime greats with this issue. First the Beatles, then the Floyd, then U2 then Radiohead. Now Elbow. I ought to include Fairport Convention in there as what they did in 1969 still echoes. ... read full review allan_staines's rating: write a review Shop for related items
