Which CD did you buy today?
 

The idea is simple: just like in the "What are you listening?" thread, you can post which CD's you've bought (today). Any thoughts about it would be nice too :)

To get things started: "Look! I got a new CD!"

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CMZZZZZZZ_.jpg

Well, in fact, I got 5. I bought a complete set of Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra on all of Ludwig Van Beethoven's 9 Symphonies.
The last few months, I'm really starting to appreciate classical music, and Beethoven in perticular. This set is widely seen as one of the better collections, and since it was just released in a "budget version", I decided that this was a nice way to get a load of good music.

Katie Melua, Call Of The Search.

A few words about it? Awesome! Superb music to chill out and relax to, her version of Lilac Wine is beautiful!! perhaps I could get it piped onto the forum?

Beautiful Sky, from a band called "Reamonn"
Does anyone outside Germany do know them?
If not, try to get one. It's a POP album, but in a positive way (like Kasim say of himself "intelligent pop")
I saw them on a life show in january and they rocked!

I just bought:

Romeo Void compilation
Two things: Debora Iyall's voice and some great sax!
Why: Saw the "Bands Reunited" thing on VH1.....totally got me hooked again!
Three Words: Never Say Never! :lol:

jo

They had a small hit with "Supergirl" here some years back, which is a good song. Other than that, I haven't heard anything by them.
We had a sort of Idols thing, called Starmaker, where a band was 'manufactured'. One of the songs they did on their album was "Supergirl". In the wake of that, Reamonn released it as a single.

Not today, but recently.

Simple. Straight. Probably the best since Eliminator. :))

Yes, supergirl was there first hit here in Germany. Since then they had some more. But they still know, where they came from. At the show they behave like the nice guys next door. Some other of these "pop idols" should take that as an example

I've been waiting for a thread like this!
Two goodies today:

And as for Romeo Void, Never Say Never is simply one of the greatest singles to come out of the 80's. If only for the line "I might like you better if we slept together". Classic.

Love it!! The vocals are weird, sometimes :roll:

but the music is worth it!!

Star Sailor - Four on the Floor - Lovely..........

(first heard Star Sailor at Twickers Stadium as support the The Rolling Stones)

"Hell of a tester" by The Rasmus. 8)

Spector's getting on a bit. Starsailor prove this. . .however all the singles have been pleasant enough. Can anyone recomend their new album?

Today I bought a second-hand copy of

http://www.thefirstcut.net/lisdoy.jpg

because of some unreleased tracks on the B-sides

Further, I coulnd't resist buying both
http://217.148.171.144/productimages...9_bg_front.jpg and http://217.148.171.144/productimages...7_bg_front.jpg
(the last one is an update for my VHS)
Bummer that I'm nowhere near a DVD player until sunday evening...

The Meat Loaf Story (Live) - Steve Steinman

Fabulous show so had to get the CD so I can do it all again

You can buy CD's!!! Wow!!! I'm gonna get myself one of those!!! What else can i buy and how much! This is just so i know how much to take!!!

The Double CD was £12 Heli and I listened to the first CD on the way home. It was like reliving the show

Oooo I can't wait!!! :mrgreen: :bunny:

Today I bought:

http://perso.libertysurf.co.uk/lee.g...eadring_cd.jpg


Worth every single penny!! I think its a great album!!!

The newest CD from THE DARKNESS

it´s great.

BlackRaven

when doing food shopping last night :roll: i bought the very best of meat loaf on c.d. because i have played my cassette of it to death,in the car,, it is sort of making moaning ,straining noises ,and i think its wheezing as well,so spur of the moment i threw it in the trolley :D :D

The Essential Janis Joplin - Janis Joplin
Splinter - The Offspring
It's My Life/Bathwater - No Doubt (Single)

Indeed, essential stuff.

Katie Melua "Call off the search"
Joss Stone "The Soul Sessions"
- proof there are young people who can actually sing!

on order/to be released:

Eric Clapton "Me and Mr. Johnson"
- proof the old guys can still do it!

Mike

Yeah Mike, Katie Melua. I've been listening to her and she is sensational!!!

Diane

She is, a bit like Maria Muldaur, remeber her?

Joss Stone is a teenager, 16/17 I think, from Devon, very old style soul, excellent, been on jay leno show in US. Better than "fitty cent" and that lot - know wot I'n sayin'?

Mike

I ahve ordered the Katie Melua album.
I love the Crazy song.

Also been looking for some country CD's. Just bought Garth- Double Live and Shania - Wild & Wicked

And the last DVD: School Of Rock

http://icedearth.com/img/rel_gb_cs.jpg

The limited edition of Iced Earth's "The Glorious Burden". Had the mp3s for a while, and musically, it kicks butt. Vocally it's okay (their singer left, and they got Tim "Ripper" Owens to replace him - I liked Matt better), but lyrically it's cringeworthy: the album is mainly focussed on wars, and the US Civil one in particular. For my Dutch state of mind, I find it overly patriotic, and too sentimental.

Just ordered this album

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Johnny Cash - Live At San Quentin

Worth the momeny purely for the live version of San Quentin which, imho, is incredible.

Been having a bit of a browse through Amazon lately and using it's lists feature to make a list of country albums i want!!!

I just bought the Leann Rimes Greatest Hits today at lunch time.

Worth it just to hear Cash say "San Quentin, I hate you with all of myself" or whatever he says. Classic.

The Highwaymen - box 3 cd set - willie, johnny, waylon and kris

That's it. On a similar not, I have it on good authority that the live film of this even is to be released on DVD. As you were.

Cool

Guns N Roses Greatest hits sounds even better full blast!!

Welcome to the neigbourhood.
Great album,

just bought Travis - 12 Memories yesterday

Any good? I've heard mixed reviews. Half say stick with 'The Man Who' the other half say 'Best Thing They've Ever Done'.

Having seent he video of that song here, all I cna say is when will the DVD be out!!!

I would give Rob's right arm for the chance to have been at one of Cash's concerts!!

Hey! 8O

Just picked this one up:
http://www.scots.com/band/discograph...ts/mojobox.jpg

If you like surf/rockabilly.....this is for you! :wink:

jo

yeah 12 memories is really good, its a bit heavier than their normal stuff tho but its a welcomed change lol

Ahhhhh so does that mean I can get to listen to my Meat Loaf Cd's without you pinching them my darling daughter :lmao:

Him - ...And Love Said No, Greatest Hits 1997-2004

I am a little bit obsessed with Him :D

http://www.arjenlucassen.com/media/i...er_limited.jpg

Did not actually buy it (it will not be released until May 25), but I pre-ordered

My most anticipated album of the year

Very Best Of - Meat. Tape just doesn't play Is Nothing Sacred very well anymore...I am now v happy and chilled!! :D

Not today, but earlier this weak:

http://www.afterforever.com/new/imag.../invisible.jpg

After Forever's new CD, "Invisible Circles". With the departure of Mark Jansen to Epica, After Forever took a different direction and made a hell of an album.

Also, I picked up a 2nd-hand copy of Therion's "Lepaca Kliffoth":
http://www.toysfactory.co.jp/hard/ar...s/therion4.jpg

while doing food shopping again, :roll: in tescos ,there was two drums full of c.ds cassettes, videos d.vds. for 50p.£2.00p and £3.00p. :D no covers on them,so dont really know what are on the two double cds i bought :o :o ,,, music to watch girls go by volume 3, and the q awards. i suppose there will be something worth listening to for my £2.00p.

Wow, metal, gothic and prog fans here :).

I bought Ozric Tentacles new album "Spiral in Hyperspace" just recently, wonderful, rhythmic and melodic space rock music.

Tomorrow I'll buy new Monster Magnet cd.

And surely I'll buy new Ayreon and Therion albums when they are released.

That makes 2 of us then :)

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...2.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...2.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I cannot recommend the first enough. Truly, wonderful pop record.

Three Weeks ago, I bought the LP Dead Ringer for $6.00

http://perso.libertysurf.co.uk/lee.g...eadring_cd.jpg

And today, my mom and I went to the thrift store and I found 3 records and 2 cassettes
Adding up to $6.80

First one I found Nazareth Greatest Hits LP

http://www.collectable-records.ru/im...hits/front.jpg

Then I found a record full of different artists, I thought I would like it seeing how I know most of the artists Alice Cooper, Boston, so I thought I'd get it, not knowing Meat Loaf is on it! LOL Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad is the song by Meat. The record is called Winners. Made in the 70s. Also an LP they spelled his name "meatloaf" Grr :evil:
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/salaryman/asada/jwinn.gif

Then I found Bonnie Tyler's LP Faster Than The Speed Of Night
http://www.jpc.de/jpcimages/big/5366488.jpg

As for the two cassette tapes, I got Edwin McCain (the only song I heard by him is Alive) so I got it. The album is called "Honor Among Thieves"

http://surfsc.com/homegrownmusic/images/emhat.jpg

Never heard any of the songs by this band, but my supply teacher (friend) says U2 is a great band so I bought their "Rattle and Hum" cassette.

http://caratuleo.com/u/u2_-_rattle_and_hum-front.jpg

sorry about the big pic :roll:

Anthony you have been deprived. I suggest you purchase this immediately if you like Rattle & Hum:

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...2.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

I'll be sure to look out for it, Badger, thanks for the Nfo :D

to evil nickname,

yes, and I can say that new Ayreon probably will be the best along with Space Opera, should be very good :).


Also last week I bought Sirenia "An Elixir For Existence". A step forward comparing to the previous album, a very good crafted album of symphonic dark metal.

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armaggedon

That is one sweet pile of "commercial" "black" metal. I like that one.

Yes, I agree. Latest Dimmu Borgir album combines extreme and melodic parts of black metal, that's great. I began to really like this band after their concert here in Moscow in November.
I wouldn't say it's commercial, it's too much variable music for it - I would say "succesful" :).

I first got Puratanical Euphoric Misanthropia (sp?) and was hooked!

I am getting more into black metal now, although don't know exactly where I am going.

Well, that was the same thing with me few years ago with Immortal "At the heart of winter".
About Dimmu Borgir I would recommend "Spiritual Black Dimensions" - though songs on it has more complicated structure and need even more attentive listening I like it most. It has more keayboard arrangements and wonderful clean voice.

Late 90's - 2000+ Black Metal is very fast developing genre, really taking the indie music higher. There were some great releases from Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Limbonic Art, Emperor, Kovenant, some others.

thanks for the tips Alice :D

This week's trend thus far:
http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US...57/6257454.jpg & http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US...33/6133481.jpg

jo

Hmmm.... got me the Rasmus single of "In The Shadows"... only cos it has the video to the song on it. :wink: :roll:

Appetite for Destruction is by far my favorite GN'R album. Kewl.

Just received my copy of the Man of Steel single I got on eBay today.

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Tried to play my original vinyl LP the other day but it has seen better days - so had to buy the CD to replace it. I had forgotten how wonderful some of these vocals from Linda are on this album - it will get played more often now I have the CD

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Simply amazing.....a must have for any Cash fan!

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Fun cd....I especially like 'Stoodup'

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
...for no other reason than "I can" -I'm sure I'll have some fun with it!

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Beautiful voice and arrangements!

jo

Care to tell where they can be found? I always wondered if the versions of Midnight & All Revved Up were taken from the "Running For The Red Light" Picture Disc.

Not so much bought as aquired:
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P...2.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Worth it just for Glory Box and sour Times.

Not got a picture but bought two LP's

The original London cast recording of Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita

Tenacious D... don't have a title. But its so funny :lmao:

heard that morrisey is back on the scene.

Yup, Morrissey-mania at the moment. It's quite silly, I haven't got any of his solo work, so I picked this up today. Everyone watch Jonathan Ross next week. Special Moz edition. ;)

wondered where he went!!!! See he's still got the old quiff.

Indeed, the quiff is as tall and gravity defying as ever. . .albeit slightly more receeding.

I'm sure he has an anti gravity feild around his hair :lol: but your right, I noticed he's going (I don't like to say this) a bit bald...

I do hope it won't have a Samson effect. . . 8O

or worse a tin tin effect...

Then he'd go around solving mysteries with an old sea captain and be extremely irritating . . .

I like tin tin!

I used to watch him at nans over an omlette and chips.

Funny how Tin Tin manages to be the most irritating character in his own books. . .

hows tin tin annoying? (apart from his voice)
