Music! What are you listening to now?

[Echoes]

Re:

Echoes/BigMac, either of you fans of Van der Graaf Generator? They're my favourite of the prog bands. "Pawn Hearts" is just completely insane but genius. "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" was one of those "Eureka!" moments for me in discovering music.

I hadn't listened to them in years but you made me do it again.

I still think it's quite "special", though but Peter Hammill's voice is very powerful. A lot of talent there.
Eheh I guess Mac doesn't know them yet. He's only just discovering that great era of music.

By the way I also like Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps and all his contribution to Buffalo Springfield and CSN&Y.

I really dig the big noise of the Ed Milliband jazz quartet. This exciting trio perform a duet of single notes in-twined with memory's of parsnips.
The musical interplay between Milliband's Stratocaster and Mr melons wine glasses filled with sunny delight is reminiscent of a cat falling backwards in to a sad old lady. A truly epic sound noise media trumpet

Love the prog rock, dudes, but once in a while there comes a lady's voice who can just express stuff that all us ladies can relate to. (No matter the age.).

And for that, there's Tori Amos.

Loved Tori back in the mid 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN3rzi7dZVQ

Hear a bit of Kate Bush in there, though, do you?

I'm listening to Harrison Fords dubstep propaganda. A subtle mix of lemons and small woodland creatures delving into a piano cacophony of jazz confusion. A truly epic sound noise media trumpet

There is some great music around this thread and I really enjoy listening through that thread, so here is my small contribution.

[King Boonen]

Wax Fung - Majestic

[Echoes]

Hey, thanks KB. Probably the only first piece of "modern" prog rock I've ever heard.

 

[King Boonen]

No worries! It's a great track but I've never actually checked to see if the rest of their stuff is similar.

 

[Sem Travões]

Hurrah - Tell God I'm here

The Sound - In the lions mouth

Felt - Ignite the seven cannons

 

[ray j willings]

I'm listening to Trevor- MC- Donalds Grimecat inflation. The futile textures of his hairy Fender Rhodes clashing with the sound of Cats running into a glass patio door in winter time bring memories of major world disasters to mind. A truly epic sound noise media trumpet

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Cannonball Adderley with a great lineup, some in their prime imo:

Soul II Soul - Back To Life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB54dZkzZOY

 

[ray j willings]

I'm listening to Sir Alf Ramsey's time bandits. Its a 7 string detuned Ibanez gem wind infused pastry mess with a brass band sampled backwards on a hob in a Finland wood. The low end drone of the B string interplaying with the moistness of small woodland creatures really resonates in the undergrowth of your brain mould. A truly epic sound noise media trumpet

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A later version of Reed's Sweet Jane, this one live.

Hunter on guitar.

Eurythmics - Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves

Aretha Franklin & Dionne Warwick Duet "I Say a Little Prayer"

SOS - ABBA

[Tricycle Rider]

Tropical Loveland - ABBA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se9_mYub334

Wow, this place must have actually gone absolutely dead if I'm able to play ABBA without repercussion.

(With age I actually prefer Frida's voice now to Agnetha's.)

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Los Jaivas - Guajira Cósmica

Chile's Los Jaivas, for a brief while in the 70s, produced Latin-inflected space-rock worlds to get completely lost in.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

New Hot Chip. Like most of their songs, my first impression is underwhelmed, and then I wake up humming it.

Those who can be bothered:
I'm listening to this awesome remix of Robin S "Show me love". I'm not a particular fan of that song, but this remix kicks butt.
Problem: I can't find out whose remix it is.
You find the remix on this webite: http://www.polskieradio.pl/10/3856/Artykul/1304174,Kosmiczne-Wibracje-25-listopada-godz-0201 (just search for "show me love" or "robin s")
I've gone through all the remixes of "Show me love" on youtube (ca. 20/25 in total...), but this particular one isn't there.
Anyone in the know whose remix that is?

 

[frenchfry]

Listening to Sarah Harmer's "You Were Here". Love that pure voice.

Also pulled out "They Only Come Out at Night" (Edgar Winter) - great music from a great period.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Another Eva Cassidy piece.

[Dazed and Confused]

and my favorite troubadour, Hopkins, this time from '66 with a small group to back him up.

Still only one guitar here.

Perfect hands and fingers.
