Queen - A Night At The Opera [DVD] (1975)
There’s simply no denying that this record is a true masterpiece. I’m not a Queen fan by any means but this is without question one of the high points of the 70’s.

commentsA randomly chosen selection this evening. Despite being four decades since their highly revered, smack-you-around-the-head trio of utter brilliance, Mr Colin Newman and Co return with a very worthy stunner that harks back to their best.
commentsI have only listened to this record 3 or 4 times. It is a truly unsettling experience and I do mean this is the most positive way.
commentsI’m far from being a musical snob, but I did try and hide Phil’s face as I discreetly slid the monstrous double vinyl cover across the counter before parting with my $19.
commentsThe themes were: Electronic , International, Rock
commentsA very classy, post-break-up-with-hubby record produced by T Bone Burnett. There’s some real texture and reverby guitar added to proceedings that is in real contrast to her previous “clean” rockabilly recordings.
commentsI knew absolutely nothing about this particular gatefold sleeved, double CD wedged amongst the boxes of unloved discs sitting under the big “clearance” sign.
commentsA talent like this doesn’t come along very often - ahem, unless you come from the lower South Island. Nadia Reid, Aldous Hardling and Marlon Williams are part of the mother folking good South Island Kiwi’s pushing their esoteric but trending trendy, angst-ridden tunes around the globe.
commentsI swear, I will NEVER attend a live Mogwai event. I’m long past going to sonically damaging gigs where your ears fight for recovery for the next few days and your internalised speech sounds like an old transistor radio.
commentsI heard a great interview on Radio New Zealand this morning with songwriter, producer and documentary maker Mark Tierney. He was responsible for the wonderful Strawpeople.
