Album Notes: Television: Tom Verlaine (vocals, guitar); Fred Smith (guitar, bass, background vocals); Richard Lloyd (guitar); Billy Ficca (drums). Recorded at Acoustilog, New York, New York. 13 years after disbanding, Television reunited for this self-titled 1992 release. The band's sound is still built around Tom Verlaine's songs, in which his guitar and Richard Lloyd's entwine around one another like contrasting ribbons. Verlaine's vocals function like another element in the beautiful fray, bobbing up to the surface, then disappearing back into the sea. Lyric fragments are glimpsed rather than framed. This album sounds remarkably like this band's two previous studio works, MARQUEE MOON, from 1977 and ADVENTURE, from 1978. The album has a crisp sound throughout, as the denser passages have a layered clarity, and the more open passages revel in the warmth of longer notes.
Album Reviews: Village Voice (3/2/93, p.5) - Ranked #25 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992. Q (10/92, p.94) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a very, very fine album...these songs lean closer to the bare bones intensity of [Verlaine's solo] albums FLASH LIGHT (1987) and THE WONDER (1990), than the sparked-up fury of much of [Television's 1977 debut] MARQUEE MOON..." Rolling Stone (10/29/92, p.70) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...celebrates the lost virtues of precision, and emotional depth and sonic elegance...rich in twang noir...orchestrated with impeccable clarity, sensual vigor and a gift for breathtaking understatement..." Spin (11/92, p.110) - Highly Recommended - "...a damned good, maybe even great, record...clean, cool, pointed, well-woven, and evocative...There are moments of thunderous bliss...It's great to have them back..." Entertainment Weekly (10/23/92, p.64) - "...no less edgy or atmospheric than their first two [albums]....songwriter-singer Verlaine's unique vision still comes through loud and clear..." - Rating: A Audio Magazine (11/92, p.118) - Sound: A - Performance: B+ - "...Although the band doesn't exactly pick up where it left off, TELEVISION is still clearly Television..."

...lg 32 inch Television
I recently bought this Television to replace an older Clear Resolution Technology product. LG are a large global Electronics that specialise in Television, audio, Home Appliances, air conditioning, IT, video products and mobile Phones.
For me I have always have held this particular company in high regard as strong competitors to the likes of Sony and samsung. Through the years I have noted the company displaying quality products on the shelves of dixon's and comet to name the Electronic retailing stores that I tend to visit when buying electrical goods.
I have never heard a bad thing in recent years regarding the product quality or read a bad review regarding this company.
The Television itself, has black outer shell colours, the mount at the base of the unit is perhaps a little strange to look...

...KIT - Kingston Interactive Television is the first televison service to come down your original copper telephone wire. The service is only currently available in the Hull area, but KIT have signed a deal with SKY to market across the country as soon as BT open up their local loops.
I have been subscribing to it for about 10 months now and in that time I have only being paying for it for about 5 months. The TV channels that are available total about 40-50 Digital Channels including SKY 1, Discovery, BBC Choice, ITV2, MTV etc. This package costs approximately £13 a month. Also available is SKY Sports and the film channels and some foreign channels aswell as Film4. These all cost extra, but one good thing is you can cancel your subscription to the extra channels at any time ie. when the football season ends. The quality...

...Technika television all though not a very common or well known brand is a exptional product of very high quality. I own and am very pleased with my Technika television that we purchased from our local Tesco store.
It was easy to install with auto setu so it's basically plug it in and it's all ready to use.
The quality of picture is very good and does not have any reflections from the sun shining on it that i have found very irritating when you are trying to watch something on other brand of televisions. The picture is sharp and well contrasted with brilliant colour.
The sound is also very high quality never fuzzy and never any varied volumes.
The television itself is in a subtle silver colour fitting in well with any bedroom colour a credit to the room itself. It is none bulky and doesn't take up much space making it easy to be...
