Re: Music and Hi-Fi - Bridging the Gap?
Musicality - this is one factor that intrigues me about the BMU, that it gets the equipment running in a more 'natural' +/- waveform and can allow the mechanics of audio reproduction to be more harmonious with the sound-waves it is designed to reproduce. I have learnt here on HFS that the essentials...

I'll pass that on Terry.
What about some Keith Emerson ? A bit of 'Lucky Man' for Tommy Lee Royce?
Seriously - the series finish has left me breathless and wanting more. Amazing and unexpected.

There is a single, tiny, one-man Hifi shop in a backstreet who sells mid to high(ish) end audio gear. Brands like Cambridge, NAD, Thorens, TEAC. His shop is a...

Some of his albums like ‘Soil Festivities’ or ‘The City’ are utterly amazing and rank among my favourites, but his film-music scores can be a little too suga...

Re: Obits
In an interview on Radio 4 this morning, Steve Hackett was paying tribute and referring to jam sessions he did with Emerson and Jack Bruce - web searches don't throw that up. Early 80's Asia-style supergroup with Simon Philips on drums. Didn't work out but laid a basis for the later Squackett combi...
Re: Obits
Didn't know about Todmorden either - wasn't public knowledge when I lived there.
Had a blast of 'Pirates', 'Lucky Man' and 'Fanfare for the Common Man' last night. When ELP were on form they were amazing.
