I wish mine was too. It's kind of depressing working out how much I've still got to spend!24db wrote:I wish my collection was 100...way too much. I need another CD/book case
if you add in fan recordings then it just gets silly...to be honest I just listen to the new stuff...the old ones I know so well they only need an airing a couple of times a yearHobo wrote:I wish mine was too.

Storage is a real headache for me. I'm hoping to get a "jukebox" storage device and download everything to that but at the moment all of the ones on the market are just a little cr@p with (IMO) insufficient storage space.Janus wrote:Somehow I managed to keep all my TD vinyl collection, then with the advent of CD's (only just about about replaced everything now!) storage has become a major prob.

I suspect a new garden shed will be on the agenda soon with all the volume of product currently coming out of the TD camp
I did get an all singing all dancing Archos player, it was the dogs nobbly bits until I spent weeks and weeks converting everything then went pear shaped not long afterwardsChris Monk wrote:Storage is a real headache for me.

Ah well back to the 8-track Yes. You'd have thunk it would be the easiest thing in the world to have a mass storage device with decent back-up, especially with hard drives as cheap as they are, but nobody seems to make one.Janus wrote:I did get an all singing all dancing Archos player, it was the dogs nobbly bits until I spent weeks and weeks converting everything then went pear shaped not long afterwardsChris Monk wrote:Storage is a real headache for me.

im in desperate need of a good pine bookcase 
Will do! It's a lot better this time around!epsilon75 wrote:Stick Melrose on Richard.................an unsung Gem IMHOwayfarer wrote:I've found that with our TD collections averaging over a 100 albums it's easy to forget an album and not go back to it.
I'm quite lazy and stick to the Virgin Years, when I have most of the releases. I should spend time having a listen to those CDs gathering dust on the shelf.
Thanks for the advice.Desert_Voyager wrote:Bypass Mota Atma....

As you can see, I was losing interest going into the '90's, so a recommendation for the best TD album since '95 would be a useful starting point.

Thanks very much. I'll take your advice & try a little at a time, starting with these two. Does anyone else have any suggestions for the best TD album since 1995?rattymouse wrote:I'd say you can't go wrong with Jeane d'Arc or Mars Polaris. Start there and see how you feel. Take it slowly so you dont get turned off.Steve wrote:I'm not going to fill the gap completely, but if you have any suggestions to start.

Yes, IIRC you had quite a bit to say about that album at the Astoria gig!wayfarer wrote:The only CD that I avoid consciously is Destination Berlin, which is a collection of muzak. Horrible. Otherwise, I normally find at least one track on any album that i like.
Catch Me If You Can, though is a poor soundtrack. I like Three O'Clock High but is an erratically constructed album. Being on Varese Sarabande, I'm not surprised. Being a collector of soundtracks, their output was odd in the eighties. The worst put together was the Road Warrior music by Brian "I wasn't in Queen" May.
