Liszt: Pioneering Liszt Recordings

Advantages: Calming, soothing ,uplifting awakening
Disadvantages: Some -if you dont like classical music

...I have always been keen on classical music ever since we were spoonfed it at school. When I was in the sixth form I had some spare time and was advised to pass some of it listening to those rare things called LP's -vinyl. I think the first thing we were played, back in 1958, would be the 1812 Overture, by Tchaikovsky. It took a bit of time to adapt ourselves to this sort of music, bearing in mind that at home we were playing the latest Cliff Richard and Elvis records! However I think that every time I hear this music I will always remember those school days. The last two months of school time brought along the second piece. Holst -The Planets Suite. There were about ten of us in this music group and I think we all enjoyed our introduction to the classics. We thought ourselves superior! After I left school... Read review

Advantages: Backs up 4.7GB of your important data
Disadvantages: None as yet

...On a never ending quest to improve my computer set up I decided I needed to purchase a DVD recorder drive of some sort. Backing up my important data using my CD-R drive was a time consuming operation which used four CD-R`s every time. I had been put off by the high price of DVD recorder drives while they remained fairly new but over the past few months prices have dropped to such an extent that a DVD recorder drive can now be bought for under £100.

Advantages: Very good sound quality, many options, Sound Retriever technology
Disadvantages: Interface could be better

...That car radio system is a blast. Intuitive controls, usb and ipod control are really adding up to the fun here. I had a bit of trouble installing because the main problem with aftermarket systems is that illumination wire that you never know where to tie up. I ended up frying my dashboard dimmer switch which is a 65$ value! Just be careful when installing those things! For the radio itself, the advantages are the legendary Pioneer sound quality. The downside I think is the menu navigation. If you have an iPod filled with music, choosing an artist can soon become a long task to accomplish e.g: you have to turn that button soooo many times. But else it really looks great and as I said, USB control is really cool. Personnaly I installed a 160gb HD powered by my lighter plug directly connected to the unit. Never change the disc again!...
