An afternoon downpour has finally given the time to listen to this magnificent sprawling epic in its entirety. CD rip via HiRes player. A fitting tribute indeed.

Hans Zimmer - The Dark Knight (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) really like this version, it has some great atmospheric sub bass going on.

Try ‘Scheherazade and Other Stories’, ‘Turn of the Cards’ and ‘Novella’ if you get chance. ‘Live at Carnegie Hall’ is also good. On a different subject Burning Shed have advertised that there is a large Camel box set coming out in November which I am looking forward to….

Everyone had a guru in those days. Looks like this one lived in No 85 Acacia Avenue.

Morcheeba | Big Calm | 1998
It’s been ‘a bit of a day’ so something chilled is needed, it was a toss up between Morcheeba, Air or Zero Seven.

Ellie Goulding - Higher Than Heaven
I really liked her first album but then thought she went progressively downhill. This seems to be a return to form.

First play for this sumptuously-packaged 4-LP set, which is due out on Friday. It’s very nice,the track selection is interesting, there’s a good mix of bangers, unreleased stuff and deep cuts and the sound is pretty decent, but no way is it worth the £140 I believe Universal will be charging for it.
@Dreadatthecontrols @Adam1 – this new Platinum collection is issued to commemorate 70 years since Sinatra signed for Capitol and is completely unrelated to any other Frank compilations called “Platinum”.

I enjoy Sinatra muchly and bought a (16? CD box set) 7 or 8 years ago when I think that you bought that same box-set but I’m going to pass on this one, Kev.
Cheers Kev, it looks a really nice box set, and seeing i shelled out quite a bit for Seal debut box set it doesnt look bad relative value against that, just not vested enough to buy it.
I saw the “Platinum” range on amazon and as soon as i saw it then had Elvis etc versions steered clear and stumbled on the one I ordered, which was still crap.
Thanks for the info, as always gratefully received.
