One of Andu's very favourite records. Do ask him about all eight remixes:

Better than that shitty Voyager theme remix.
That cupboard of yours housed some absolute travesties.

This was one of those gems I know you loved from the amazing POWER THEMES 90 album!

Youtube is great for finding what used to be in my cupboard. How can Andu be repulsed by this?

The imminent delivery of Dave Gilmour's Live in Pompei has finally got me to turn my attention to the audio setup on my BluRay player. When I unboxed it I was a little surprised at the lack of an Optical Out, which I used off of my CD player and last Sony BD player. All it had were an HDMI, which the TV needed, and an orange RCA marked digital out. I'd been in a rush at the time and thought no more about it. However looking today at the back of my amp there was a similarly colour coded RCA on the DVD inputs marked digital audio (but not on the BD inputs) So having sourced an RCA cable, got loads in the loft but could I find one to hand? No, I've been putting the BD player and amp through it's paces. We gave Pulse it's first spin in YEARS, I'm usually a Delicate Sound Of Thunder man for live Floyd, and I'm currently listening to Dave Gilmour's Remember That Night. The drums are about to come in on Echoes.......

Iron Maiden are live streaming the video for their new live album on YouTube at the moment. Bizarrely there's no physical release for the video, it's a CD only thing.

Maybe they'll pack a DVD with the CD like Metallica did with St. Anger to show Rob playing the bass parts.

No it's being made available to buy as a digital download only. Having watched the broadcast tonight I reckon it's because the album is a different concert every track (not an approach I'm fond of), so the video is just the concert display screen footage and not a dedicated one off pro-shot concert. Steve Harris is a stickler for quality, so he probably didn't think it good enough for a proper release.

I caught a little bit of it thought it was alright.
The St. Anger thing was rough and ready, but as it was a bonus it didn't really bother me.

I am contemplating purchasing a record player! Problem is that I can see myself vanishing down the vinyl rabbit hole.

Won't be for a while yet to financial nonsense at work. -Ralph It's mostly the ones which look like suitcases I think But i mean, those ones cost around £40-50. If you are buying a record player for the price of 2 records, you can't expect it to be much good!! The problem with researching it though is a LOT of people writing about them are music snobs, so rate stuff that no-one with normal ears would ever care about. The important bit is how much weight the needle puts on the record - a lot of the cheap ones are way too heavy and so will scratch them up and dig gouges making them unplayable after a short while |

Good to know! Might leave it for a bit longer then if it's more costly than I had surmised.

Ralph now owns the Jeff Wayne 'War of the Worlds' on shiny vinyl in an impulse purchase. I really should get a record player.

Classic! Essential record to have in the collection, if anything for the art in the booklet inside. The CD version doesn't do it justice.

I have the cd version...somewhere...but had no idea it had been reissued on vinyl until I saw it and red hazed at seeing the cover artwork at proper size.
I just don't know what record player to get! I have The Fear after Blueshift's warning about ones that destroy records. I have an urge to start a spoken word and soundtrack collection...

Pinwig has disappeared down the rabbit-hole of synthwave that is Soundcloud and can't find his way out.
Help! I am lost in retro 80s synth beats!
