Long Sound - Coctails (The)

The sound of a revolution

Advantages: Great sound, sturdy, easy to use
Disadvantages: Only runs off mains power

a track or alter the volume!! (oh the horror!!) The third issue (and probably the most annoying for me), is that it can't run off battery power. While carrying it long distances for short periods of music listening is pretty unfeasable due to it's size and weight; it would be quite nice if I could take my sound system out into the back garden when we're having barbecues. Yet again, this is a minor problem; not really a huge concern and I certainly wouldn't let any of the above issues put anyone off buying one of these!!! Anyway, all in all, this is a fantastic piece of equipment. A must-have if you've got an iPod. They look good, they're relatively small and unobtrusive (as sound systems go), the sound quality is amazing. In fact, they're actually almost sexy!! They retail for about £250 and are well worth the money!! Highly, highly ...

Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound

Advantages: A great album
Disadvantages: The odd track can 'sound the same'

Say hello to The Gaslight Anthem. Dare I suggest the majority of you haven?t heard of them?? Well, some might know them simply as the band that got Bruce Springsteen to join them on stage during their performance at Glastonbury this year. Well, this is their album ?The ?59 Sound?. Released in 2008 on SideOneDummy Records, it?s a twelve-track album which instantly personifies the ?Americana? type of band. Big choruses, full of melodies and short instrumental interludes and breakdowns ? usually surrounding a glitzy guitar solo. The opening track, ?Great Expectations?, is just that. Big glorious choruses and verses that contain muted guitar riffs and snare-infected drum loops. The reference to Bruce Springsteen early is clear to see in their music ? it?s genuine rock music. Listen to it on your stereo, and then imagine to loud and it ...

Review of '59 Sound, The - Gaslight Anthem (The)

Bose SoundDock is remarkable quality, clear and crisp sound

Advantages: stylish, perfect clarity, long lasting, valuable remote
Disadvantages: none

In my opinion the Bose sounddock was a great spend. I was looking for a quality product to enable me to listen to my iPod. I shopped around and tried out a few other speakers, e.g. JBL onstage. The Bose sound was remarkable. It was so clear it was unbelievable. I got a surround sound feeling whilst listening to the speakers and there was no sign of the low hum or odd crackle one sometimes finds accompanies certian speakers. I have now had my Bose speakers for a year. One year on and they still look new (the newer model still looks the same) and the sound is still clear and precise. It is very easy to function and from my point of view speakers which come without a remote are an uneccesary hassle, fortunately the Bose Sounddock comes with a very well equipped remote. Not too small to lose it among you things, and not too large to be ...
