The Raptor 1,178 Posted October 31, 2021 yes I know it's set at Christmas but it's a pretty spooky theme. And to reference an earlier thread. That synth sound. 😍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,263 Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Once you've finished raging at the sleaze there is nothing more appropriate than to remind yourself of the simple beauty human beings are capable of achieving. I recommend starting every day with a piece from Bach, and I don't think it gets much better than the Largo from his 5th Piano Concerto in F Minor. For some reason I find this video of the player's hands tracing out simple movements yet producing music of profound beauty absolutely mesmerising.

sonyc 5,447 Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Stranglers & Bach eh. Decent mix to start any day. In a similar vein two interesting pieces...the Labèque Sisters seem prolific (and unusual for two players?). The second piece I would have simply laughed at if I had heard it on the radio 10 years ago - as not my kind of thing . It's a Schubert song. Once heard, it sticks! Most of all I love that it goes from minor key to major and so on for the whole thing. I had to use Google to translate the German. According to R3's Sarah Mohr-Pietsch, this is the best and most emotional version. Edited November 4, 2021 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loved both of those albums. Steve Hillage, Rundgren, Yamashta, Santana and whole load of stuff that I had never heard of before. Eternally grateful to them.

Felt the latter played ok stuff but there was too much of him and his attempts at quirky humour. On the whole I prefer DJs just to play stuff. Craig Charles mixes it up a bit too. Likes his 1980s.

I wasn't particularly a fan of his funk show so didn't give him too much of a chance at first but he is playing some good music of many genres and I've heard a few bits for the first time.

Probably the iconic Minimalist work and a good starting point for anyone who has not ventured into Minimalism before: Reich and Glass, both now well into their eighties will be famous in decades to come, perhaps their music even being classed Reichian, Glassian (Glassic!?) - such will have been their influence. Like Hockney as an artist now (there are others), they are living legends when it is far more usual that artists have to have died before people gain a perspective and full appreciation on their output. We are lucky really. It reminds me of the saying that goes something like... "life is beautiful but it's the system that is ugly". Hugo? Whoever it was (will look up), I think they got that about right. Edited November 17, 2021 by sonyc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
