Anyone going to this http://www.atpfestival.com/newsview/1602111510 ?
Can't decide if it's a must, or an avoid. I'm a huge Elevators fan but fear ot could be a bad idea. Anyone seen him play Elevators songs the last few years? £30 is a pricey one, especially when you don't know how Roky will be.

It seems pretty disappointing. I always like these guys best when they're exploring new (for them) territories. "More Light" was great for that, so I hope this is just a one off and the rest of the album gets a bit weirder. Their last great song for me was Deep Hit Of Morning Sun, totally...

Duet with Sky Ferreira = a pop song. Not sure if it's pop-tastic though. I thought they'd go off on an experimental vibe but obviously not.

Re: Spiritualized Glastonbury Live 27th BBC Radio 6 + Video
2006 the Acoustic Mainlines tour started - into 2007 I think The Edinburgh show which I attended remains the most ecstatic gig I've ever attended - the good vibes there could have spun the earth of it's axis. By contrast the Xmas show at the Union Chapel - complete with an awesome rendition of 'Sil...

Re: New turntable and record collecting in general
So much better than my old USB turntable. I'm a convert.. Hahaha... that's still my record player of choice! ION right? With the occasional new stylus and a record brush, amped through ageing Sony speakers, I think it sounds awesome. Not at all jealous of your awesome-sounding system of course... :...

Re: New turntable and record collecting in general
The Project Debut Carbon is now up and running with the Project Preamp and it's sounding wonderful. Really happy I took the plunge into the world of a proper turntable. First on the platter was the Paris Texas soundtrack and it was full of depth and space and sounds I had never picked up on before....

Re: New turntable and record collecting in general
Those KEF Q3s are lovely speakers, plus the coaxial mid-high arrangement gives very good phase coherence through the time alignment and the design which gives the tweeters a synergistic horn loading effect that is very desirable. How do they sound now you have the benefit of a good turntable and RI...

Re: New turntable and record collecting in general
Speakers sound very decent indeed Olan.

Re: New turntable and record collecting in general
Snazzy curtains Olan! You get some serious man points for those. Those big speakers are BIG aren't they. What are they and dare I ask how much they were? I'd love something like that but my budget does have to be kept low or else I'd seriously skint myself. The BX2's look tiny next to them don't the...
