Cool music (and everything else) review site

http://www.metacritic.com/music/

Stumbled on this whilst looking for reviews of LemonJelly's LemonJelly.ky album - looks like an interesting idea. Converts reviews from various sources into scores out of 100 and from that creates an overall score. Reader reviews are also there.

One for my bookmarks

Darn it

Michael.

 

I hope you're not trying to claim that one MO? I rememeber recommending that way back when I used the HFC forum http://forum.hifichoice.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=5807.

Nice try though

Michael,

BTW, what the hell is that picture as your Avatar? looks cool, if a little weird

Wingnut

 

Its an overhead shot of the suction unit/rubbish recepticle off the end of a Dyson hoover with the extension pole removed.

Rubbish in - rubbish out

 

I just spent 10 minutes taking my Dyson apart and it looks nothing like that.

Wingnut

 

don't fret about the dissimilarities, he probably purchased a dodgy s/h knocked off replica that has had more turds sucked through it than your nearest armitage shanks.

Wingnut, that's my latest pride and joy, a Chord DAC64

I need to get a better shot of it though with better lighting...

Michael.

 

That's about the funkiest bit of kit I've ever seen!, just read up on it, how does it perform? Unfortunately, it's out of my (wife's) price range though

Wingnut

 

I've just updated the pic - a little bit better. How does it perform? Hmm...well, let just say it's the best digital source I've ever heard

An absolutely outstandingly musical bit of kit. So involving, so alive - just fabulous. I got it s/h for £1400 so not quite so bad Worth every penny IMO.

Michael.

 

Yes, you indeed mention that site to me first.

I shall point to your reccomending it to me with every future mention

 

Just kiddin' MO


Wingnut

 

Hope you bought KY after all that?

Both Lemon Jelly albums are excellent

 

anyone tried woolworths? Though the prices aren't too impressive, seems like a good selection.

 

I often pop into Woolies to see what they've mis-priced . I also get a 10% discount coz my wife works for them

fono, I've not heard much Lemon Jelly stuff, but I'm sure I will now they're nominated for a Mercury award. I listened to a few of their samples on Amazon, sounds pretty good - maybe one to add to the list.

Wingnut

 

Yes - bought both. As I mentioned in another thread here, I think that .KY is excellent - one of my faves even but Lost Horizons is not nearly as good

Michael.

PS: Do you have the Shanling CDP in your avatar? If so, how do you like it?

 

Just come across this site

http://www.trouserpress.com/

A few random names turned up a fair aMOunt of good results. Some are missing though. But they say they're updating....
