Jamie xx has learned a lot about the sonic palette from doing his solo record, and it shows here in the variety of settings he creates for Romy and Oliver. The effect is not the intimate whispers of the first record, but that of group coming into its artistic maturity. Recommend highly.

The Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970 was Jimi Hendrix' last US appearance. He was still searching for the new sounds in his head. This show is a fine mix of the songs that made him famous, his blues roots, and the sky church music that was evolving with his artistic growth. The Electric Church documentary includes some of these performances, and is a worthy companion purchase.

This concert was shot during the Who's first last tour. The sonics are excellent, the performances a bit ... distracted. No Keith Moon means that Roger and Pete are forever looking over their shoulders for shenanigans that never occur. For many years, this was the last chance to hear Entwhistle; he plays his part well. The songs are well played, well filmed and well recorded. Kenny Jones acquits himself well; he's just not Moon.

Vastly expanded to 3 disks, Coda now includes pretty much everything that got a test final mix but didn't make an album. There is some fine work here, and Travelling Riverside Blues finally finds a home in the canonical releases. As is true for the rest of the remaster series, the sound is exquisite.

In Through The Out Door, although spawning three hits, is probably not the album most people would pick as their favorite. Even so, the sonic upgrade is evident throughout. Jimmy Page's labours will allow everyone the opportunity to hear this album with nearly the fidelity the musicians would have heard playbacks.

These recordings, taken from two nights at Carnegie Hall last November, feature Mr. Adams with acoustic guitar, piano and voice. The recordings are crystal clear; you can really hear the Hall. They date from all parts of his career, but lean toward material from his recent records. He has been doing some of the best work of his life; this is a welcome addition, as he tells a few stories between numbers which illustrate that he does not take himself as seriously as he once did. It's a great record for fans.

Wilder Mind reveals a more rock and roll Mumford and Sons. The change in direction may be a result of Marcus Mumford's year spent collaborating with T-Bone Burnette and company. This record may be an effort to access the energy Bob Dylan and the Band found in that Woodstock basement in the late 60's.

Anyone looking for novelty in Boz Scagg's recordings is muts. He has identified his niche and continues to successfully mine it. Long time fans will find A Fool To Care a valuable addition to Scagg's oeuvre.

The Waterfall continues to expand the sonic palette MMJ has developed. The growth from its origin is admirable; they continue to successfully integrate modern influences into their Americana.

Forever Man collects the last 25+ years of Clapton's recordings for WEA associated labels. The 3 disk package is divided into hits, live and blues, a convenient way to hear related material. It is an excellent primer for new fans. The one drawback for longtime fans is the lack of unique material.

Can this be used with a converter box?

I have it hooked up to a standard (not HD) cable box; I would imagine it would work just as well with an HD box.

 Logitech - MK520 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Black
Logitech - MK520 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Black
This Logitech MK520 keyboard and mouse feature a wireless design for taking with you on the go. The Incurve keys and palm rest allow for comfortable use.
 

What Model is the Mouse? Does the wheel spin freely?

Specs don't mention the model of the mouse. I love the simple Logitech M325 mouse I am using. My husband just bought a (different) keyboard/mouse combo and the wheel on the mouse it came with doesn't spin - it kind of roughly click-click-clicks along; not easy to quickly go from the top of a page down without having to use the scroll bar. Thanks.
It is an M510, with forward and backward page buttons in the right side, The wheel does spin freely, and the mouse fits very comfortably in my right hand.

Is there a timer on the remote?

Seeing as this TV would be for a bedroom, need to know if you can set a timer to turn it off.
Yes, with 30 minute increments up to 3 hours.
