I definitely like Underworld, as well as psychedelic dance music, like Orbital and the Ozric Tentacles. I also recommend Daft Punk, especially their last album, 'Random Access Memories'.
Nice pick on the Gnossiennes. More romantic and less modern in a weird way, in comparison to the more popular Gymnopedies, which I love as well. Both equally great to my ear.

I really like the tempo of that performance. Some people play it really slowly or quickly. In this performance the notes seem to be describing a semi-random event. It also sounds Jewish to me for some reason.
Reply to Changeling interesting. It has the power to take me back through time to the early nineties. It’s as if it was the soundtrack to my life at the time and I didn’t even know it.
It has dated very badly. Is that the music’s fault or the way the music seeped through the culture? I don’t know, but I didn’t even like it at the time anyway.
Do you "agree" with the music I posted? William Orbit is a dude, but I'm getting tired (once again) of these "agree" posts. And I'm not even joking; it truly is a pet peeve. Perhaps I'm just a cranky old man, even though I'm not old. I'm a man of words as well as music, so I guess I would appreciate a more in depth discussion than just whether or not I "agree" with...what?
I remember you showed me "nobody here" vaporwave song around the last year. It makes me feel nostalgia while I am alone in my home listening to it.
Interesting, right? This song can make us feel different moods depending on the context.
I'm a notoriously non-visual person; I don't remember anything about what stuff looks like. I have a hard time understanding visual art, whether paintings or dance or whatever. I've been a huge fan of the below piece since I was in college. This is a version recorded in studio by one dude; he replaced some of the instruments he doesn't play (strings, bass clarinet etc) with keyboards. It sounds like a gimmicky idea, but it's actually an excellent performance of the piece.
For some reason, despite everything, at around 2:35, the first time I heard this piece a very stark image came into my mind: of people (dancers maybe?) dramatically turning their heads and seeing a somehow unexpected sunrise, and then irresistibly moving their bodies towards it with joy. I ugly-cried the first time I had this experience. I'm over sharing, but felt the need for whatever reason. Enjoy, hopefully.
Edit: I forgot to mention that one reason I really love this version of the piece is that Erik's instrumentation and mix brought out elements of the piece that I had never noticed before, which I think is what triggered this whole spiritual experience for me.
You bet. That’s very atypical for her; she was a jazz harpist and pianist, but at some point in the 80s she retired to live full time in an Ash Ram. During that time she claims God told her to sing, so she recorded several cassettes of these Vedic hymns. A compilation of tracks from the tapes was recently released; they were virtually unknown beforehand. This is an example of her more typical sound; still incredible:
This is quite something. Others may be aware of it already since it’s been used in some TV shows recently, but I found it just yesterday after it was mentioned in a video about linguistics.
It’s a song by Adriano Celentano and it’s designed to sound the way that American English sounds to Italians, but it’s actually gibberish. I can make out “baby” and “alright” but otherwise the words are invented, in a phonetic impersonation of English as it sounds in rock n roll. It actually does sound like a real American song.
And unlike many novelty songs, I actually like it.
Have I posted Cardiacs before? I’ve been trying to like Cardiacs for years, and I’m pretty sure I’ll get there. Right now though, it seems to me they’re too English, too silly, too punk, too Monty Python. But I’m trying. I know there’s much more to them than that, musically, conceptually, lyrically, stylistically.
My way in to Cardiacs was the beautiful guitar solo in the song R.E.S. It happens at about 3 minutes and it’s incredible.
Does this ever get old? No. There's something about the chord changes that begin at 1:22 (and repeat throughout the piece as it's pretty repetitive) that sound sad, despite being major changes. Transcendent.
Have I posted Cardiacs before? I’ve been trying to like Cardiacs for years, and I’m pretty sure I’ll get there.
Just saw this. I feel the same, although of course I'm not English. I'm sure I've posted Oceansize many times here, but do you know them? Their lead singer Mike Vennart is a massive Cardiacs fan. It's not always obvious, but I think you can hear the influence in tracks like this (there's a lot of other influences in there too like Talk Talk etc). The Cardiacs part doesn't really start till around 5:02 to my ear. I probably have even posted this track here before:
I'm sure I've posted Oceansize many times here, but do you know them
I think that was the band you posted a couple of years ago that seemed a bit too late nineties or early 2000s for my taste. I do like the bits that show the Cardiacs influence, and that Sleeping Dogs one is probably the best track I’ve heard from them, although I’m still not completely into the sound.

They're totally dated in that sense, yes, but I still love them. But I don't blame anyone for passing them off for this reason. There's a lot of nerdy musical information happening in their songs, though, underneath the dated sound.
I guess as a dumb American I don't really know what that actually means. Aren't you from Scotland? So that's not English, right? I didn't really think about it to be honest. "English" and "British" run together in my mind.
Reply to Noble Dust Scotland, England, and Wales are neighbouring countries, and together with Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom.
Scotland, England, and Wales are on the island of Great Britain, also known as Britain.
England is the biggest country in Britain but is not synonymous with it, therefore “English” is not the same as “British”. To be English means to be from England, to be Scottish to be from Scotland.
Among Americans, Russians, and much of the rest of the world, English is used casually as a synonym for British, so if there are no Scottish or Welsh people around it’s probably acceptable.
Imagine not being English and someone doesn’t understand you when you say you’re not English, and you’ll understand why people who are not English insist on not being referred to as English.
Reply to Noble Dust So when I said that sometimes I feel that Cardiacs are too English, I meant something quite specific. An aesthetic shared by Cardiacs, XTC, Monty Python, Genesis, the Clash and the Carry On films.
I think of them as kind of timeless (laugh if you want), so I'll take it, but I'm sure they'd take it too, actually. Of course that's probably not what you meant.

It is raining in Madrid. I love rainy days, and while I enjoy the nature I am listening to Lonikos Psimikakis-chalkokondilis. He is a very talented shakuhachi player, and one of his virtues is to express the wilderness.
I fully recommend you to listen him and his works.
I've never heard of him. I only listened to a few seconds, as this style of modern straight jazz that ECM does is not my thing, but they sound good. The group is locked in, and his playing reminds me of Chick Corea a bit which is a good thing.

Reply to AmadeusD Although Lana Del Rey is famous, I have never listened to any of her songs. Or maybe I actually did on the radio, but I have never noticed. :chin:
Reply to javi2541997 that was me for a long time. Sometime in 2021 I got into her then-new album Chemtrails Over The Country Club. Represented something wholly different from what I’d heard from her before and the subsequent two albums matched that, have really enjoyed all three. The track above is the opener from her most recent album

Psalm 58 (KJV)
1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
It's cool. I still don't know how to articulate my mixed feelings about progressive white folks obsession with the ethnicification of western musical tropes (that's not totally fair or accurate in this track, but just general thoughts about the genre). Something to make a thread about I guess, if I still had the energy to do that.
"Within You Without You" (5:05) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967 writer George Harrison performer The Beatles (only G. Harrison & members of the Asian Music Circle)
My father used to listen to that song often. The lyrics annoyed me back then but now I get it.
Interesting that he wrote it no later than 1964, which seems pretty early to have already wised (wosen?) up to the bullshitness of that kind of sixties politics.
If the refrain indicates that all that preceded it has been rejected now that he's wiser, then I'm left with this:
"Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, "rip down all hate, " I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
meaning he does not buy into the statement "rip down all hate" and that he does not believe it a lie when people claim some things are black and white. An interesting nod to moral certainty at a time when that was challenged.
And then this:
"A self-ordained professor's tongue too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality, " I spoke the word as if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
A rejection that equality is the highest principle to hold to (i.e. a wedding vow).
I could go on, but I'm already boring you.
But then this is consistent with some lyrics from "To Ramona" (which some say was written about Joan Baez),
"I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose."
That's my Dylan analysis for the day. I actually just saw him recently in Kentucky. It was cool to be there, but he was a bit hard to understand.
Your dad was far hipper than mine. Mine was of a generation earlier.

Reply to javi2541997 I was going to say the singer even sounds native until I saw that the singer is a Portuguese lady, Javier Limón I am guessing is the instrumental. It is very enjoyable to listen to, though this song sounds a bit more like an allegro interpretation while the original is more adagio as is typical of fado:
But I will say that I am quite ignorant when it comes to music.
If anything, I think that each interpretation reflects very well the "national personality" of each country.

But the translation mistakenly implies some (Eastern) Roman Emperor was the cousin of a French king, which wasn't the case. The lyrics instead say "Emperaire, vos o aujatz, e·l reys de Frans'e sos cozis, e·l reys engles, coms peitavis: qu'al rey d'Espanha secorratz!" (King of France and his cousin English King), referring to Saint Louis the 9th of France and King Henry the 3rd of Angevin England.

I haven't listened to any of it in a long time. I still love Spirit of Eden and The Colour of Spring as well. Do you know O.rang? Basically Talk Talk sans Mark Hollis (Lee Harris and Paul Webb). The first album is more Talk Talk-ish, but I like this EP:
Worth checking out I think. Then there's Bark Psychosis, a seminal post rock band where Lee Harris played drums on their second album. Definitely some strong Talk Talk vibes:
Nice, yeah, they're definitely music nerd albums. I like the transitional nature of Colour of Spring, sort of like Rubber Soul for The Beatles. Do you know Bark Psychosis I posted above? That track is more Talk Talk-ish, but I also like this track for a more post-rock vibe. Their first record Hex is considered a seminal post rock album.
I heard this years ago at a friend's house in Chicago. I was weirded out at the time as I don't usually like spoken word, but it's haunted me ever since, and tonight another friend posted it on instagram. Mystery solved, and now I'm bewitched.

Interesting the sort of music you guys listen to, especially the electronic shit that is sometimes accompanied with mumbling in the background, which is always a nice touch.
I guess maybe it's relaxing. Along these lines, this is what I've been enjoying recently. Hour 7 to 7 1/2 is especially soothing.
Reply to Hanover Yes, it is very relaxing, Hanover. Those tracks also help me to focus on doing a task. It is weird and complex to explain, but the few musical notes accompanied by a murmur makes me feel isolated from the world. Like I'm in a bubble.

@Alkis Piskas Hello, Alkis. I was listening to some versions of 'milo mou kai mandarini' yesterday afternoon. I'd want to share the ones I enjoyed the most with you. I suppose you'd like to listen to them whenever you have time. What a beautiful and charming tune this Greek traditional song has. :flower:
Hi, Javi. Not so much in that music. "?eavy" oriental (Turkish) stuff. Although the song is Greek. It's traditional music of Smyrne, an old city of Turkey (hence the music) part of which has been inhabited by Greeks.
I was listening to this yesterday afternoon because of the Euros feeling. I don’t usually watch football, but you know when our nations play against each other... I have butterflies in my stomach. :broken:
Ears and mind totally wowed by an audio book: Terry Pratchett's 'Equal Rites', from the free Libby app.
Narrated by Indira Varma, Bill Nighy reads the footnotes, Peter Serafonwicz is the voice of Death.
Theme tunes for the novels have been composed by the Bafta-winning composer James Hannigan.
I have tried before but failed to 'get into' Terry Pratchett. What was wrong with me? Lack of imagination.
However, listening to this...well...it amazes me how quickly I've been drawn in. Every nuance is picked up by the narrator whose voice/s captured my attention, bringing the characters to life. It's magic :sparkle:
Nighy said he was honoured to “bring to life one of the funniest, quirkiest and best-loved aspects of Terry Pratchett’s world … They are his personal commentary on the action, little snippets of information or funny asides,” he said. “They feel very much like the voice of the great man himself commenting on the action. I’ve enjoyed it enormously.”
The choice in Libbyapp is limited, so I looked around. Free Complete Discworld Audiobooks:
I've been a massive Mike Patton kick recently, topping the list on Spotify for his solo work, Fantomas and nearing the top for Faith No More, Bungle, Peeping Tom, Kaada/Patton and a few others.
Unsure what it is about him. Everything is gold. I am an absolutely incredible vocal nerd, so this explains some of it. But he just does so much, across so many fields and genres.. Never ending source of impressive work.

Mondo Cane is a 2010 album by Mike Patton. Featuring a forty-member orchestra and fifteen-piece backing band, the album contains a series of cover versions of 1950s and 1960s Italian pop music. Patton conceived of the album while living in Bologna, and became attracted to music he heard on the radio featuring pop singers backed by orchestras [...]
The singer has described his admiration for Morricone's writing, feeling that the composer turned "what could be banal, surface-style pop into really deep, orchestrated, tense and compelling music". Several of the album's songs had been written by Morricone, including "Deep Down", written for the 1968 Mario Bava film Danger: Diabolik. Patton had been aware of the song for some time, having been a fan of the film and Morricone's score; however, the two musicians never actually met or worked together.

Really pleasantly surprised by this, not being a follower of Joni Mitchell. Is it me, or is her voice different?
The Crazy Cries of Love · Joni Mitchell - from Taming the Tiger (1998)
It was a dark and a stormy night
Everyone was at the wing-ding
They weren't the wing-ding type
So they went up on the train bridge
Where the weather was howling
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
The crazy cries of love
Joni Mitchell's song "Crazy Cries of Love" on her album Taming the Tiger (1998) opens with "It was a dark and stormy night". In the December 1998 issue of Musician, Mitchell discusses her idea of using several cliche lines in the lyrics of multiple songs on the album, such as "the old man is snoring" in the title song "Taming the Tiger". Her co-lyricist, Don Fried, had read of a competition in The New Yorker to write a story opening with "It was a dark and stormy night" and was inspired to put it in the lyrics of "Crazy Cries of Love". Mitchell states:
But the second line is a brilliant deviation from the cliché: "Everyone was at the wing-ding." It's a beautiful out, but that was because it was competition to dig yourself out of a cliché hole in an original way. He never sent it in to The New Yorker, but he just did it as an original exercise.[20]
Mitchell released her final set of "original" new work before nearly a decade of other pursuits, 1998's Taming the Tiger....
It was around this time that critics also began to notice a real change in Mitchell's voice, particularly on her older songs; the singer later confirmed the change, explaining that "I'd go to hit a note and there was nothing there".
While her more limited range and huskier vocals have sometimes been attributed to her smoking (she was described by journalist Robin Eggar as "one of the world's last great smokers"), Mitchell believes that the changes in her voice that became noticeable in the 1990s were because of other problems, including vocal nodules, a compressed larynx, and the lingering effects of having had polio.
Reply to Paine Thank you for this :sparkle:
Wow. The first notes just hit you with their soaring beauty. A symphony of strings, then more, combined with lyrics full of personal awareness and social consciousness. The African-American story of struggle.Change gonna come. Strong lines of hope and courage. But does it, will it work for us today?
The simple belief, resistance in the 60's for a change in justice. Decades have passed...slow progress made. But still there is oppression. The future looks bleak but listening to this, it encourages resilience. Each orchestral instrument plays its part in changing the beat, echoing the words.

Back down on my knees, oh
There been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will

At the very least, since Sam can do that song, it would be embarrassing for me to despair.
Despair is not embarrassing. But staying there in that dark, mental space is not helpful. Do you not think that the song came from a place of despair? Hard times and struggling through pain is what we all have in common. Some more than others. We are not alone.
@180 Proof introduced me to Nina Simone's stunning version of George Harrison's 'Isn't it a Pity'.

From my OP:
GIVE ME LOVE. Sometimes you open your mouth and you don't know what you are going to say, and whatever comes out is the starting point. If that happens and you are lucky - it can usually be turned into a song. This song is a prayer and personal statement between me, the Lord, and whoever likes it.
— George Harrison
Sharing all kinds of music and thoughts here in TPF - well, it helps...a little...don't ya think?
I find love and encouragement here. Most of the time. :wink: :heart: :pray:

The 2 albums of 2024 which I would recommend are The The's, 'Ensoulment' and The Lemon Twigs, 'Everything Harmony. The The are one of my all time favourite bands as they are so philosophical. The Lemon Twigs are a newer act, but are quite retro and psychedelic, with hints of Beach Boy harmonies.
I am also contemplating buying the 2024 album by the Cure, based on reviews I have read.
Chaotic organ, off the wall lyrics. Psychedelic absurdity at its finest.
"The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing 'till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar"
I listened to some of your compilation of originals and the Beatles over Christmas. :cool:
Last night, I was awake at 01.30hrs - a bit troubled. Tuned in again...
George Harrison's All Things Must Pass - will always soothe. The Concert for George with his son, Dhani, amidst all those great musicians, playing with heart and soul, together - is so touching. The unspoken words passing between them as they look, play and sing.
Another day, another sentiment; a happy song, for all the happy people.
Not sure about the happy aspect but, yeah, the uke can bring a gentle simplicity to life. A clear tone and voice of sense and absurdity. Humour in the midst of life frustrations. An English gentleman swearing. What's not to like?! Great fun find :cool:
Written and performed by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. Performed at Boyds of Bedford - November 2nd - 2018. Featured on the album Awkward Encounters While Walking My Dog (released 2018).
I've tried, tried, tried and I've tried even more
I've cried, cried, cried and I can't recall what for
I've pressed, I've pushed, I've yelled, I've begged
In hope of some success
But the inevitable fact is that it never will impress
I've no more fucks to give
My fucks have runneth dry
I've tried to go fuck shopping
But there's no fucks left to buy
I've no more fucks to give
Though more fucks I've tried to get
I'm over my fuck budget and I'm now in fucking debt!
I strive, strive, strive to get everything done
I've played by all the rules but I've very rarely won
I've smiled, I've charmed, I've wooed I've laughed
Alas to no avail
I've run round like a moron to unequivocally fail!
I've no more fucks to give
My fuck fuse has just blown
I've been hunting for my fucks all day
But they've upped and fucked off home
I've no more fucks to give
My fuck rations are depleted
I've rallied my fuck army but it's been fucking defeated!
The effort has just not been worth the time or the expense
I've exhausted all my energy for minimal recompense
The distinct lack of acknowledgement
Has now begun to gall
And I've come to realize that I don't give a fuck at all!
I've no more fucks to give
My fucks have flown away
My fucks are now so fucked off
They've refused to fucking stay!
I've no more fucks to give
My fucks have gone insane
They've come back round and passed me while they're fucking off again!
I've no more fucks to give
My fucks have all dissolved
I've planned many projects
But my fucks won't be involved!
I've no more fucks to give
My fucks have all been spent
They've fucked off from the building
And I don't know where they went!
I've no more fucks to give
I've no more fucks to give
I've no more fucks
I've no more fucks
I've no more fucks to give!

We are the victims of an age when men of science are discredited, and only a few remain who are capable of engaging in scientific research. Our philosophers spend all their time in mixing true with false and are interested in nothing but outward show; such little learning as they have they extend on material ends. When they see a man sincere and unremitting in his search for the truth, one who will have nothing to do with falsehood and pretence, they mock and despise him.

Don't do drugs. At least if you can avoid it. Saying "Just one fix" is not a good promise. Saying "I could quit if I wanted to" only begs the question: do you want to quit?

I'm not in the habit of questioning Reality Itself.
You don't have to question objective Reality itself, as that would be akin to questioning your own existence. The point is to examine the form or shape of your own subjective reality. Realities are fluid, and everyone experiences a different one. Some realities may be more advantageous than others in different contexts.

An Orgy on Pornhub, that's what I'm listening to. It sounds like an Online Orgy of Stupidity. That's what it actually sounds like, acoustically, in the way that the speakers deliver it to my ears.
I've heard more impressive collective sounds from colonies of actual sea lions.
Production, evidently, means nothing today. The Artist Is Despised In This Day And Age. Artists have been replaced by mere (alleged) talent.
Pornography is a mediocre form of Art.
You wanna know what True art looks like?
It looks like skill.
I see no skill in pornography,
In any way, shape, or form.
Skill is what the sculptor has.
Skill is what the painter has.
Skill is what the musician has.
Skill is what the writer has.
Culture does not exclude sex,
or even pornography for that matter.
The point is that it should not be confused with it.

Byker is a district of Newcastle on Tyne. I used to play the tune as a dance. The time signature is 9/8, but divided as three measures of 2 beats and one of 3. I didn't know there were words ...
I am currently obsessed with this guy from Nebraska, by way of Nashville named Evan Bartels. Dude has some of the most incredible songs I've heard in a decade. Absolutely hear-wrenching rural story telling mostly, but there's other stuff. My current favourite:
She used to watch him roll his cigarettes
On the front porch wearing her Sunday best
They ain't been to church in fifteen years
Miracles still happen..
They don't happen here
She had to sell her mama's ring and her piano
Cause he pissed away their mortgage on his booze
Just a shell of the man she fell in love with
She'd be damned if she'd let him drown her too
She'd say in the morning I could hit Montana
If I drive through all night
I could get lost out in them mountains
Find a spot deep in the pines
She's a mama to a son who didn't make it
She found him by his self in his room
She can still see his face in the moonlight
Eyes half open on the floor
Lips a gentle shade of blue
She blamed it on herself for years after
But there's not a goddamn thing she could have done
What's left when your soul is taken from you
There's nothing in her heart of the woman she once was
She'd say in the morning I could hit Montana
If I drive through all night
I could get lost out in them mountains
Find a spot deep in the pines
I need a place where I can wander
Question the meaning of my life
Maybe i'll find what I am after
In the land they call Big Sky

I definitely like Underworld, as well as psychedelic dance music, like Orbital and the Ozric Tentacles. I also recommend Daft Punk, especially their last album, 'Random Access Memories'.
Nice pick on the Gnossiennes. More romantic and less modern in a weird way, in comparison to the more popular Gymnopedies, which I love as well. Both equally great to my ear.
You for some reason reminded me of this underrated and very unknown English composer of the time:
I really like the tempo of that performance. Some people play it really slowly or quickly. In this performance the notes seem to be describing a semi-random event. It also sounds Jewish to me for some reason.
Quoting Noble Dust
Cool..
It has dated very badly. Is that the music’s fault or the way the music seeped through the culture? I don’t know, but I didn’t even like it at the time anyway.
Do you "agree" with the music I posted? William Orbit is a dude, but I'm getting tired (once again) of these "agree" posts. And I'm not even joking; it truly is a pet peeve. Perhaps I'm just a cranky old man, even though I'm not old. I'm a man of words as well as music, so I guess I would appreciate a more in depth discussion than just whether or not I "agree" with...what?
I'd say you're more of an agreeable man.

I like it, good song and bass!
It has passed a while since the last time I have heard this iconic song for melancholics.
Thundercat himself is the bass player, so yes the bass is good. The sheer amount of chord changes on the C section is absurd. Fun music.
Great use of Fripp and beautiful spicy harmonies. I couldn’t get tired of the Roches.
Best guitar solo I’ve ever heard (at 3:00):
The best song ever:
Also the best song ever:
This is the one I’m most into this evening:
Actually maybe this is the best song ever:
Truenorth is quite good, although it's kind of 3 songs in one. I love the last section.
I remember you showed me "nobody here" vaporwave song around the last year. It makes me feel nostalgia while I am alone in my home listening to it.
Interesting, right? This song can make us feel different moods depending on the context.
I wish i had gotten out more.
For some reason, despite everything, at around 2:35, the first time I heard this piece a very stark image came into my mind: of people (dancers maybe?) dramatically turning their heads and seeing a somehow unexpected sunrise, and then irresistibly moving their bodies towards it with joy. I ugly-cried the first time I had this experience. I'm over sharing, but felt the need for whatever reason. Enjoy, hopefully.
Edit: I forgot to mention that one reason I really love this version of the piece is that Erik's instrumentation and mix brought out elements of the piece that I had never noticed before, which I think is what triggered this whole spiritual experience for me.
Surely I've posted this before -- it's just hitting the good notes tonight for me.
Never gets old. I've been listening to Alice:
Thanks for sharing it.
You bet. That’s very atypical for her; she was a jazz harpist and pianist, but at some point in the 80s she retired to live full time in an Ash Ram. During that time she claims God told her to sing, so she recorded several cassettes of these Vedic hymns. A compilation of tracks from the tapes was recently released; they were virtually unknown beforehand. This is an example of her more typical sound; still incredible:
EDIT: This really is a sermon on Marx. I love it.
It’s a song by Adriano Celentano and it’s designed to sound the way that American English sounds to Italians, but it’s actually gibberish. I can make out “baby” and “alright” but otherwise the words are invented, in a phonetic impersonation of English as it sounds in rock n roll. It actually does sound like a real American song.
And unlike many novelty songs, I actually like it.
Good stuff.
My way in to Cardiacs was the beautiful guitar solo in the song R.E.S. It happens at about 3 minutes and it’s incredible.
Then I grew to love the whole piece.
Just saw this. I feel the same, although of course I'm not English. I'm sure I've posted Oceansize many times here, but do you know them? Their lead singer Mike Vennart is a massive Cardiacs fan. It's not always obvious, but I think you can hear the influence in tracks like this (there's a lot of other influences in there too like Talk Talk etc). The Cardiacs part doesn't really start till around 5:02 to my ear. I probably have even posted this track here before:
And perhaps more so this one although it's pretty unhinged and maybe a bit of a parody:
I’m not English either, although I do have close connections.
Quoting Noble Dust
I think that was the band you posted a couple of years ago that seemed a bit too late nineties or early 2000s for my taste. I do like the bits that show the Cardiacs influence, and that Sleeping Dogs one is probably the best track I’ve heard from them, although I’m still not completely into the sound.
:chin:
Quoting Jamal
They're totally dated in that sense, yes, but I still love them. But I don't blame anyone for passing them off for this reason. There's a lot of nerdy musical information happening in their songs, though, underneath the dated sound.
I thought you were implying that I’m English.
I guess as a dumb American I don't really know what that actually means. Aren't you from Scotland? So that's not English, right? I didn't really think about it to be honest. "English" and "British" run together in my mind.
Scotland, England, and Wales are on the island of Great Britain, also known as Britain.
England is the biggest country in Britain but is not synonymous with it, therefore “English” is not the same as “British”. To be English means to be from England, to be Scottish to be from Scotland.
Among Americans, Russians, and much of the rest of the world, English is used casually as a synonym for British, so if there are no Scottish or Welsh people around it’s probably acceptable.
And I’m not explaining it again.
Simple!
Got it (I think?)
:up:
Out of interest, does Oceansize land anywhere on that continuum?
I think of them as kind of timeless (laugh if you want), so I'll take it, but I'm sure they'd take it too, actually. Of course that's probably not what you meant.
I guess?

@Jack Cummins agree?

Music for late-night coding. A certain mood.
I've never heard of him. I only listened to a few seconds, as this style of modern straight jazz that ECM does is not my thing, but they sound good. The group is locked in, and his playing reminds me of Chick Corea a bit which is a good thing.

1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

I was struck by how counter-counter-revolutionary these lyrics were, like saying the whole counterculture ideology was bullshit.
My father used to listen to that song often. The lyrics annoyed me back then but now I get it.
Interesting that he wrote it no later than 1964, which seems pretty early to have already wised (wosen?) up to the bullshitness of that kind of sixties politics.
If the refrain indicates that all that preceded it has been rejected now that he's wiser, then I'm left with this:
"Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, "rip down all hate, " I screamed
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
meaning he does not buy into the statement "rip down all hate" and that he does not believe it a lie when people claim some things are black and white. An interesting nod to moral certainty at a time when that was challenged.
And then this:
"A self-ordained professor's tongue too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality, " I spoke the word as if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
A rejection that equality is the highest principle to hold to (i.e. a wedding vow).
I could go on, but I'm already boring you.
But then this is consistent with some lyrics from "To Ramona" (which some say was written about Joan Baez),
"I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose."
That's my Dylan analysis for the day. I actually just saw him recently in Kentucky. It was cool to be there, but he was a bit hard to understand.
Your dad was far hipper than mine. Mine was of a generation earlier.
So good.

Re-listening to this one from one whose passed on.
New single out from Pearl Jam. Bit of a return-to-form imo. I have a feeling its a Matt Cameron number, and it goes hard.
Also announced a world tour - looking forward to seeing them again in November :)
But I will say that I am quite ignorant when it comes to music.
If anything, I think that each interpretation reflects very well the "national personality" of each country.
I like it. Spanish songs have that jingle to it that no other country accomplishes to give, perhaps it is the language.
Spanish Mediaeval songs! Yeah, they are pretty good. I can't understand some words because they are hardly used nowadays. But you are right. They have a harmonic jingle.

But the translation mistakenly implies some (Eastern) Roman Emperor was the cousin of a French king, which wasn't the case.

Worth checking out I think. Then there's Bark Psychosis, a seminal post rock band where Lee Harris played drums on their second album. Definitely some strong Talk Talk vibes:
Tho for another in memory:
I prefer Colour of Spring, myself, but the three - Colour, Spirit and Laughing Stock are all absolutely phenomenal.
O-Rang was good too.
Nice, yeah, they're definitely music nerd albums. I like the transitional nature of Colour of Spring, sort of like Rubber Soul for The Beatles. Do you know Bark Psychosis I posted above? That track is more Talk Talk-ish, but I also like this track for a more post-rock vibe. Their first record Hex is considered a seminal post rock album.
I enjoyed listening.

Classic. I'm not convinced Elizabeth Fraser is human.
This is one of my favorites, from their oft-maligned final album.
I've really been leaning into sort of pre-post-rock (?) music from the early 90's. This band sounds fresh to me.
Nice. That's a weird one!

By the way, that track is amazing and brilliant. It is the kind of ambient music I am looking for. These diamonds are very difficult to find around the internet, but I know you have many interesting tracks on your list. Thanks for sharing them with me.

Theme tunes for the novels have been composed by the Bafta-winning composer James Hannigan.
I have tried before but failed to 'get into' Terry Pratchett. What was wrong with me? Lack of imagination.
However, listening to this...well...it amazes me how quickly I've been drawn in. Every nuance is picked up by the narrator whose voice/s captured my attention, bringing the characters to life. It's magic :sparkle:

Never been there. I've only ever visited Georgia via words, film or music. Here's a song I enjoy:
Rainy Night in Georgia - Brook Benton
A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
Well it's life, and you just got to play the game
Sunnier days ahead? 'It still comes out the same' - the sun's still there in the pouring rain... :sparkle:
Che bella cosa 'na jurnata 'e sole
L'aria serena doppo 'na tempesta
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già 'na festa

What a beautiful thing is a sunny day!
The air is serene after a storm,
The air is so fresh that it already feels like a celebration.

I don't know about the existence of God but Prince needed a Guardian Angel to stop his backwards fall from stage! An outstanding performance but OTT, I think, for the song 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'.
I prefer Eric Clapton in Concert for George. Watching this - the talent and togetherness of the line-up of wonderfully close musicians, including Dhani grinning. Something else. Just like his Dad, George :heart:

His album Corpse Flower done with Jean-Claude Vannier might also be up your alley!
'Awesome' is quite the understatement! But when other words fail me, it'll do nicely!
The complete works - a major achievement - wowing the eyes and ears, body and mind...
I can't thank you enough :sparkle:
And it's no surprise that Deep, Deep, Down came top of my search list. It's the Enrico Morricone sound.
The stupendous trumpet player (Roy Paci) and Patton's voice as instrument - at 28:52 and 30:41.
The Metropole Orkest is out of this world, magnificent. The backing singers. The whole shebang sweeps and soars! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropole_Orkest
Patton's versatility as he rocks from 1:09:57 with 'Yeeeah!', straight into the smoothly, romantic 'Senza Fine' - his thanks to the orchestra, individual players and conductor. What an atmosphere...

He also had much to say in philosophy proper, participating in numerous threads. Shame the way the political discussion re the Ukraine Crisis turned to a fast and furious engagement with a certain poster. The passion and anger didn't let up...

Really pleasantly surprised by this, not being a follower of Joni Mitchell. Is it me, or is her voice different?
The Crazy Cries of Love · Joni Mitchell - from Taming the Tiger (1998)
It was a dark and a stormy night
Everyone was at the wing-ding
They weren't the wing-ding type
So they went up on the train bridge
Where the weather was howling
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
The crazy cries of love

Quoting Wiki - It was a dark and stormy night
Her voice changed.
Quoting Wiki - Joni Mitchell
Wow. The first notes just hit you with their soaring beauty. A symphony of strings, then more, combined with lyrics full of personal awareness and social consciousness. The African-American story of struggle.Change gonna come. Strong lines of hope and courage. But does it, will it work for us today?
The simple belief, resistance in the 60's for a change in justice. Decades have passed...slow progress made. But still there is oppression. The future looks bleak but listening to this, it encourages resilience. Each orchestral instrument plays its part in changing the beat, echoing the words.
We will carry on. Sing it out, sing it loud! :fire:

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I've been running
Ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
[chorus]
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
And somebody keep telling me
"Don't hang around"
[chorus]
Then, I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, oh
There been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
Songwriters: Sam Cooke. For non-commercial use only.
At the very least, since Sam can do that song, it would be embarrassing for me to despair.
Despair is not embarrassing. But staying there in that dark, mental space is not helpful. Do you not think that the song came from a place of despair? Hard times and struggling through pain is what we all have in common. Some more than others. We are not alone.

You don't have to question objective Reality itself, as that would be akin to questioning your own existence. The point is to examine the form or shape of your own subjective reality. Realities are fluid, and everyone experiences a different one. Some realities may be more advantageous than others in different contexts.

She used to watch him roll his cigarettes
On the front porch wearing her Sunday best
They ain't been to church in fifteen years
Miracles still happen..
They don't happen here
She had to sell her mama's ring and her piano
Cause he pissed away their mortgage on his booze
Just a shell of the man she fell in love with
She'd be damned if she'd let him drown her too
She'd say in the morning I could hit Montana
If I drive through all night
I could get lost out in them mountains
Find a spot deep in the pines
She's a mama to a son who didn't make it
She found him by his self in his room
She can still see his face in the moonlight
Eyes half open on the floor
Lips a gentle shade of blue
She blamed it on herself for years after
But there's not a goddamn thing she could have done
What's left when your soul is taken from you
There's nothing in her heart of the woman she once was
She'd say in the morning I could hit Montana
If I drive through all night
I could get lost out in them mountains
Find a spot deep in the pines
I need a place where I can wander
Question the meaning of my life
Maybe i'll find what I am after
