[Exodus (OP)]

Just wondering what kinds/who people like listening to...

I have a wide taste in music although i have my particular favourites!

I listen to various rock music and love The Doves and definately Feeder, also a big U2 fan. I HATE BUSTED!

My main love lies in chilled alternative music, My favourite groups are in no particular order...

Orbital - My Favourite
Groove Armada
Air
The Orb
Lemon Jelly

Awesome!

I like a bit of classical from time to time but normally I just listen to pop. Robbie Williams' songs are quite good.

Don't have one really, I've studied music and now became more open to different styles of music and from different cultures as well. But I really cannot listen to heavy rock metal thing music they do my head in.
Certain classical and minimalist music is very good.

U2 they write some great songs.[]

I love music and dance.  Some favorites....

Orb
Moby
Loreena McKennitt
Enya
Enigma
Gerry Alfred and the Medicine Beat
Sacred Spirit
Dead Can Dance
Christine Lavin (she's a very funny lady)
Afro Celt Sound System
Sheila Chandra
Jessie Cook
Ottmar Liebert
Maureen McGovern
Amanda McBroom
Lisa Girard
Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors
Urban Tribe

Okay, so really there's not too many styles of music that I don't like, but am really fond of stuff I can dance to.  With Ecstatic Dance (Gabrielle Roth) you don't need a partner (although it's nice sometimes).

I don't listen to music very often. I hate what my sisters listen to (heavy metal and pop).

My dad loves folk music though, I like listening to what he plays on his guitar.

Am I dead? Am I alive? I'm both!

Just to let you know - if anyone passing through here had planned to go to the Yes Concert in Hyde Park on July 17th - or any of the other Route of Kings concerts (Blue, Yes, Paul Weller, Simply Red, Roxy Music, Jools Holland) - the promoter has gone bust and the gigs are all cancelled.

Marvellous - the one time I had front row seats for a gig too !

That sucks.  We had the same thing happen here 2 years ago but they pulled the plug in the middle of RockFest.  Some friends of mine were in one of the bands and their drummer had flown in from Sweden.  The bands never got paid either.

I've got a pretty wide range of music in my collection. I like what I call 'the new classics' Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Stones. In the 80s, I listened to a lot of punk/alternative like Stiff Little Fingers, UK Subs, The Clash. I also love Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and Bowie.

More recently I've been listening to Groove Armada and (shock!) Eminem. I'm also a fan of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. There's heaps more but the list would be very long!!! I really love music.

If you are a Yes fan then you'll get on well with us then, especially Chris, he got me into them! We cant go to see them at Wembley this year as we are in Oz which is a shame... I have been to one of their concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and one at Hammersmith! Tis good that old Rick Wakeman is back, he is a LEGEND!

I used to be a trance fan, but its all gone a bit Pete Tong these days(scuse the terrible pun there). Just majorly into chillout. The latest Zero 7 album is damn good, as is the Air one! Orbital have their new album coming out this year which i just can't wait for... oh and Prodigy have a new ablum out this year too!

I would suugest one album which i bought last year that is quality---> The Music by The Music... Is damn good!

[neilep]

The Prodigy ?....FANTASTIC...bought all their cd's a few months ago......thought they had split up.....certainly gonna get that when it's around...and will now order The Music.....

Personally, I think you should cancel your trip to Oz and come to see YES with me !!!

Here is the review of The Music album if you're interested

You'll have to let us know how the concert is... maybe take a minidisc player and record it! []

Resident Tour Operator - The Naked Scientists

[neilep]

YAYYY !!!just ordered it from CDWOW.com for £8.99....cheers Richard !!!......with regards to the YES concert I'll take a portable recording studio and mixer shall I ?....to be honest a minidisc recorder will be sh*te !!!(i think you know that by your cheeky wink)...I'll just burn you a few Cd's if you want some album copies !! ....err...not that I would condone copying music on such a reputable site like this.....

'Men are the same as women...just inside out !'

[Exodus (OP)]

Am just imagining you turning up to wembley with a suitcase full of recording equipment and setting up in the front row!! complete with earphones and directional mikes... hahahaha

I think we have every Yes album there is to have! I tell you  something that is REALLY funny is Weird Al Yankovitch... not sure if you have heard of him but he takes he p*ss out of songs like eminem and the offspring etc... uses the same tune but puts new lyrics in...

Oh yes....I have a few of his versions of  Michael 'I didn't lay a finger on him' Jacksons videos on my PC right now......well funny.[]

If you could take an MD with you to Wembley for the Yes concert I'd be eternally grateful. Not that I would ever consider sitting 3 rows back from the stage and recording a rock concert on an MD or anything, but I can personally recommend the Sony ECM-MS907 which has produced very favourable results in the past...

Richard, presumably you are going to see Yes play at Braintree in July, since it's about 3 miles from home ?!

http://www.gft-cyclops.co.uk/ and www.cdservices.com are two great resources for Prog rock cd's....espesh GFT...they're very helpful.

To be honest Chris...because of the compression used on a minidisc and from an audiophiles point of view, as a company we very rarely get asked for MD players/recorders...and so I don't actually have one, mind you, I could treat myself to the Sony ECM-MS907 ...hmm..we'll see.....

have you got any of their DVD's Chris and Richard ?.......Symphonic Yes is absolutely fantastic !! House of Blues is brilliant....Keys to Ascension is musically great but horrible picture.........the version of Starhip trooper on the Keys to Ascension CD is the best version I've ever heard....if you haven't got it..get it !!..it's a fantastic recording.
