How did you get that they were into Baroque from Richard Strauss, Bizet, Khachaturian and Grieg? Bizet's the oldest of those and he was born more than 80 years after the end of Baroque?

Personally I prefer the Romantic and Impressionist eras (to which many of these no doubt belong). My favourite composers are predominantly late 19th and early 20th Century, and overwhelmingly French - Satie, Debussy, and Ravel in particular.

+a lot, yet again. Although apart from the French impressionists, I love early 20th century Russian music.

It's theme day in this household. So here's

Girls From the North Countries! (see what I did there, Dylan-fans?)

Actually, only Mi is from Finland - L'au is French, but it's my theme day, I can do whatever I want :p

Representing Norway: Ane Brun - Humming One of Your Songs

Representing Sweden: Whale - Pay for Me
Crazy band! Wonder what happened to them? They kinda disappeared from (my) radar in the late 90's

Representing Denmark: Jomi Massage - A Meeting

That's the end of my theme day.

Ahh, but if you listen to those pieces, they have some definite similarities to Baroque music. I understand Baroque is a musical period but also the type of music has a specific sound and some of those pieces certainly have that sound even though they were composed in different periods.

Other than that they're played on similar instruments and have beginnings, middles and ends, I'm really not sure where you're coming from here. Khachaturian, Baroque? Really? I can't see it personally, maybe I'm just not looking in the same places.

Rush--Hemispheres. Haven't listened to it for ages, and then suddenly it entered my dream world. The mind works in very mysterious and seemingly random ways. I woke up in the middle of the night with first song on the album in my head. Before I left for work, I grabbed the CD(!) off the shelf, dusted it off, and prog-rocked down the road.
Made me want to grow my hair out and wear tights like a real rockstar.
Have had that in mu collection for 25 years and still think it's one of the best ever, especially in its genre.

Steve Reich :). I guess you've heard the new Tom Waits album. When I heard the intro to Chicago, I thought "Steve Reich on speed".

For those who have an eclectic taste, I recommend Late Junction on BBC Radio 3. All programmes are available for a week on the iplayer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer

Here's a link to a recent programme

Some really good stuff there. I generally like late classical/romantic (i.e. Beethoven onwards). I'm a choir singer, so here's a couple of things I've actually sung in

Faure - Requiem (so peaceful and elegant)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuQXGA_BwY4

Verdi - Requiem (an existential battle)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLn2pA5b1lM

Haydn - The Creation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNxgFu3aSuw

Just got Kate Bush's new album. A seasonal offering for us Northerners. Her warm voice against a sometimes soothing, sometimes cold background with some close harmonies from time to time.

Gater - Taboo
"Taboo" is a genuine underground electro classic. Nice lyrics as well :cool:

Gater - Water

You can always contact him if you're interested in his music, he's a very friendly guy and has sent me mp3s on numerous occasions (you'd be surprised how many artists do this if you actually take the time to contact them).

"Boobie Bounce" and "Chloe" are two other great songs by Gater, but I can't find them on Youtube.

He's currently making music as "Allies". Some good tracks there as well (I personally love "The things that kids do").

I was so inspired by 2 recent musical purchases that I felt I had to post them on here. I too just acquired Kate Bush's new cd. Firstly, she is a one of a kind artist, and I mean that she is a true artist along with her being a musician. For me this just may be her masterpiece. The music is hauntingly beautiful with, as Tank Engine mentions, a concept that cold weather inhabitants can truly appreciate. Personally I can tell when I've struck gold when I have a cd
that upon each initial listening I find more and more to appreciate and admire about it. This release has me under it's spell where I can play it over and over again, simply sitting in a chair with no distractions and bathing in the ambiance of it's textures/layers of sound and the mood that's created.

The other purchase is one from my much younger days. Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66. Primarily any track with the magnificent voice of Lani Hall but also any of their first 3 or 4 releases. Many of the compositions are bossa nova variations on melodies by the Beatles, Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter, Simon and Garfunkel and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Playing this music warms my soul and brightens any dreary day that I may be having. Lani's voice, especially on "So Many Stars" is bewitching.

I've also been listening to vintage Carlos Santana, specifically the releases "Welcome", "Love, Devotion and Surrender" (with John McLaughlin), "Caravanserai", "Blues For Salvador" and "Live at the Filmore '68".

...and I've finally found my Keith Jarrett "The Koln Concert" and that's been getting alot of time in my current rotation.
