JAMES HORNER - ENEMY AT THE GATES - CD ALBUM our ref 1516
Sep 04, 2019
James Horner in Russian mood - lovely
It's not the best James Horner score, but even an average James Horner score is head and shoulders above the best scores by most modern artists. Dark, moody, Russian male vocals with hints of Russia's classical masters thrown in.
No loss of suction - but a very, very low bar to start with.
No loss of suction, Dyson promised. Ever. A bold claim. And I'm not going to throw doubt on the veracity of that statement; I am, however, going to qualify it.
What is your starting point? For example, if I said "I can calculate pi today as well as I could 10 years ago" that may indicate great cognitive function. Or it could simply mean, "I have as little clue about how to calculate pi today as I did a decade ago".
"No loss of suction" in the case of this woeful device means that, from day 1 to day 100 you get the same level of suction. Which is great, if you think a wheezy asthmatic is the best person to blow out your birthday candles. It lifts, precisely, nothing from the carpet. To prove this, I "vacuumed" the hallway carpet with the V7 Animal - nice empty chamber to start with, a good vacuum in two directions. I then used a Miele on the same area. The difference is night and day - the V7 Animal moved some light fibres across the pile, the Miele came along and actually hoovered the carpet. Tried on the tiled kitchen floor - with the V7 Animal you could see the dust move ever so slightly and then resettle, the Miele left the floor spotless. And, true to Mr Dyson's claim, it lost that level of suction not once - not once was it able to lift anything more than the lightest talcum powder from the surface of the bedroom floor. Not once did it fail to gently disturb a cobweb from the lightshade.
This is truly an appalling vacuum cleaner. It's noisy, it's flimsy and it';s almost completely useless. I urge you, I beseech you, not to buy one until you try one, and try it against a similar costing device from Miele or Vax.

Exquisite vinyl release of one of James Horner’s final scores
One of the final scores written by the late, great James Horner, Southpaw shows a composer still at the top of his game, experimenting with electronic sounds and synths alongside gentle, emotional piano. An outstanding album. RIP, James.
