Reviews of the year/Lugs Update/Jazz

Audiogoners the "Audiogon" music reviews has been substantially updated with reviews of the year and some more reviews featuring some ambient and modern classical in the shape of Harold Budd and Max Richter.U2 and a release in Kathryn William's Relations which I would rate for Audiophlies are reviewed also.

As you may be aware I had planned to include an Audiogon poll for 2004 but there was very little response to this-I'll try other ideas as we go to try and make things more interactive.

I'm delighted to wet Jazz fans appetite with the arrival of a new writer Ricardo Bebida whom I met at the Betty Ford Clinic.He looks back at 2004 and I look forward to his future Jazz reviews.

There should be plenty to get you ears into and get out there and buy some of this music and tell us we were right or wrong.
We've tried to tighten up the editing and we think (or is that pray)that our writing is improving.

Oh and don't worry we are buying 2005's music and will be back with our comments on that........

As always feedback,comments etc. welcomed.

Enjoy.

Tvad I mention the Beatles influence in my review.
Originality? That's a toughie for sure and I know there are different degrees's of that and if you get stuck on any music that doesn't seem to carry it's identity then it's very difficult to engage with it.
To me there's a lot more on this record than a Lennon influence and I think the songwriting quality is top notch.

Maybe you should have played it a few more times.........or maybe I should have.
:-)

Nope I think it's a great record.
Thanks for the comments.
