thanks to all who post and discuss classical music.
while oriental and indian classical music is super pleasing to my ear,
i lack the connection to 'real classical music', and i'm looking for an entrance for a long time.
maybe you have to grow up with?

but please don't suggest choir singing, i tried this in the past. the power of a big choir is fantastic, but at home, i'd prefer listening to a russian male choir, or maybe gospel, over the masses and requiems we had there.

Thanks for the Stina Nordenstam and I just love Nick Drake. I find myself listening more to Asian music more as I get older. I've found in the past that if I initially find something interesting, but am not sure if I like it on first listening, I normally love it after a few listens. In that way, my taste has expanded.

Sorry for the choir singing . But if you like Russian music then maybe a bit of Grechaninov ? (it's a Bulgarian choir though)

Grechaninov - Milost Mira from Litugia Domestica

Edit: The 9 inch nails video was very atmospheric

For some reason, I really like Latin songs

Alice's Restaurant

[meat puppet]

Well, The Boss' Promise didn't live up to the expectations, at least not mine, but in a year it has grown on me. It's no Darkness' long lost twin brother alright, but has many decent songs. And at least they are sung in a slightly less over the top manner than the ones on Darkness (the album's main fault IMO, cf. Adam Raised a Cain).

Rendezvous

And, obviously, Patti Smith's Because the Night is the better version.

Hmm, guess I'll end up watc... listening to Blondie now that I got started.

i guess you knew that i meant this more in a traditional/folkloristic way, and did this on purpose

an example for the amount of classical influence i'm able to take in yet
would be esbjörn svensson trio you mentioned lately, and rachel's

A small classical 'pop' contribution from me, one which none of us who grew up with The Lone Ranger have ever forgotten!

I remember seeing "Ghosts" on Top of the Pops and being astounded that anything like that could be in the top 10. Beautiful and haunting.

Yeah i think that was Japan's biggest hit on the back of that performance, I saw it too and it blew me away - I'd never seen anything like that before.
great track.

Japan were one of the rare groups that got better and better as they went on for me.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

"Secrets of the Beehive" isn't really recent Sylvian though, and certainly his most accessible solo album. I view him as a latter-day Scott Walker, though his transition to experimental maverick hasn't been quite as extreme as Scott's.

This is some more recent (and in my opinion, his best record) Sylvian:

Just listened to this. Bloody f-ing amazing!

 

[La Pandera]

Jimi Hendrix named best rock and roll guitarist. Hard to argue with that! HIs Woodstock version of the national anthem is totally unforgettable, and in a league of its own.

I'm with you there although Santana's intro to the world at Woodstock with "Soul Sacrifice" was so intense I almost expected an electrical storm to form overhead.

at the moment set #29, but it doesn't really matter, all his sets are great (if you like to listen to minimal)
