Anyone got "Let's Go To Work" - Rory Gallagher?

More like "Phaedra" Tangerine Dream
Finally got round to picking up this on CD (had it on vinyl many moons ago ) It still sounds sweet! What other TD albums would you recommend? What other similar artists would you recommend? TIA - Paul PS - Damn you Head-Fi -

Senn HD600 - Love the sound - Hate the "feel"
Having bought a pair of Sennheiser HD600 phones a couple of ago I am still not convinced I can live with them despite loving the sound they make! - The problem is I dont like the style of the Senns i.e. the fact that they enclose my ears and I was considering something of the same quality (Beyer...- PaulBoy

Question about trading here?
Hope this is the right forum I have been sucked in by the viscious "head-fi made me do it" upgrade-itis syndrome I now regularly check the "For Sale" boards and spotted an amp I like the look of - It is £220 (or less hopefully ) and would be sent by DHL Airmail from Germany (I am based in...- PaulBoy
