Also, does anyone have any links to good music review web-sites?? I have tended to use www.adriandenning.co.uk and although this is excellent, I have pretty much exhausted his recommendations. Tastes are Rock / alternative / folk.

Hi Dave C - welcome to our forum.

You can get it on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/BANG-BANG-MACHIN...QQcmdZViewItem

I'll keep on searching.

Hi solaris,
thanks for the speedy reply. I have tried e-bay a couple of times, but they always seem to shoot up in price in the last hour of bidding (usually end up at the £30 - £45 mark). Although I have stuck ~$700 in my AOM3 account since joining in August of last year, I do not think I can fork out that much for something I've never heard. I will keep my eye on the bidding though and see if it stays below £20,
Cheers,
Dave C

If you have spent $700, you must either be a MemphisMember or want to be it.

If you already are, then we could use your help getting more people in. If you're not go to this thread: http://www.aom3.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1309#post1309 and post your payment list and add the total.

Hi,
I am not a member, but I have only been using AOM3 for the past ten months and I'm guessing that is why (or atleast one reason) why I have not been invited. I will add my details to the list, but at the moment I am able to add credit (in $25 units) via the new mp3sparks site, so although I would love to be a member, my guess is there are more needy people out there (I will send you a PM about this as I do not want to appear a fool on the public site). Thanks again for the replys,
Dave C.

Hi Dave

You're in!!
Hi AllOfMP3-support.

Please consider taking in my friend Dave Corser (which is his user name here) for MemphisMembership.

Dave Corser has spent approximately $675 since joining August 21 2006 so must be what one would call a loyal and "must be" member. Feel free to check him out regarding longevity, payments etc.

I surely recommend him.

Kind regards, RogerFrancis.

Hi Dave.

Fun thread to read by the way

Hi Solaris,
never have found a copy, but I have not looked for quite a while.
If you are up for it, I have another challenge which I will be incredibly impressed if even you (or anyone else who wishes to try) can find. The band is 'Harmonium' and the album is 'Si on avait besoin d'une cinqiueme saison' (translated: "If we needed a fifth season'). Got this recommended to me and I can not find anywhere to download it.
Cheers,
Dave C

Hi Dave.

You didn't have to translate the title - I had French in school for 4 years

It was extremely easy to find on CD (lowest price $20.60): http://www.musicstack.com/listings.cgi?find=harmonium&t=si_on_avait_besoin_d 'une_cinqu&media=All

But came up short in the download department

Dave,

I found a free mp3 of the song Depuis L'Automne (10:25) from the above mentioned album on this link:

HARMONIUM Si On Avait Besoin D'Une Cinquième Saison reviews and MP3

It also has a review of the album.

see ya later,

[Dave C]

Thanks for both of your efforts, I am going to give the mp3 link in Nightfly's post a couple more listens before I go for the CD as the music was not really what I was expecting and I want to see if this track grows on me first (I think it probably will after just one play).
Solaris, I did not translate the title, I just cut and pasted that from somewhere else. I did not even know it was going to be in french, I just though it was a prog. rock band giving it a pretentious name (should have guessed otherwise as I knew they came from Quebec),
Cheers,
Dave C
