I thought that was going to be a bit high brow for me but I looked anyway and it was excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Off to iTunes now 

[Biggsy]

^ I like the backing singer. 

[LindaG]

The Hallelujah chorus.  It's actually a bit magnificent y'know.

[jogler]

rather like yourself then

[Gus]

Carmina Burana

 I'm still not a big fan of classical music, but there are times when it just fits perfect in to my life.
I find my self listening more and more to it, must be a sign that I'm getting older and more understanding.

So smooth ...

I find myself more and more open to new things as I get older, it's great isn't it?

I'm listening to Saint Saviour's Union album.  This Ain't No Hymn is lovely, and I can see why the crowd were baying for 'Horse' when we saw her last week.  Not at all my usual thing but I'm enjoying it.  I have a post it note covered in the names of new bands for me to check out, from talking to a mate earlier.

[Biggsy]

Saint Saviour (if I've remembered the name right) makes an appearance in a lovely docu film about a record shop repeated late tonight on BBC4.

[rogerzilla]

Rolling Stones - Paint It Black (the perfect ending to Full Metal Jacket).

The totally superb new Godspeed You! Black Emperor album - Don't Bend! Ascend!

Best track is the opener, Mladic, which almost defines the word 'epic':

It's good but, for me, doesn't match F# A# ∞

[Illegal Combat Ant]

Golden Brown

Try to hear Cantus Arcticus by the Finnish composer Rautavaara.  A completely different intention but you might hear similarities, especially when the guitars spar, early on in the Mladic piece!

[tiermat]

Tuesday night's Later.. Live.

That Sinaed woman still has a fantastic voice, aged much better than her contemporaries.

And the Blue Grass/Zydeco band were brilliant, not enough whooping though...

[pcolbeck]

Hendrix on Spotify.

Be-Bop Delux

That's still my fave too - Dead Flag Blues in particular

Had a brief listen on Spotify but didn't get it - don't think my ears are tuned to 'modern classical'. Ta for the suggestion though...

[IanDG]

I've got the vinyl out

Listening to  Richard Thompson - Rumour and Sigh

[Illegal Combat Ant]

Snarky Puppy. My word they're ever so proficient. 21st century, top-class noodlers.

[phantasmagoriana]

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute. Haven't listened to it in ages and had forgotten how good it is.

[IanDG]

I've got the vinyl out

Listening to  Richard Thompson - Rumour and Sigh

Progressed to
Roy Harper - Flat, Baroque and Berserk
10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe

[CrazyEnglishTriathlete]

I saw Vixen do an excellent cover of this at the Milton Keynes Bowl in about 1990

[mr magnolia]

Richard Hawley
'Standing on the skys edge '

Family not amused.

[jogler]

Marj is playing some of her Clanned stuff so that is what I'm listening do.I'm expecting a marching band to pass thru' the lounge 

[Juan Martín]

Górecki No 3. Parts of this have been going round in my head all week but I haven't listened to it for years, so I thought I would look it out.

The recording took a bit of tracking down in the media player filing system as I couldn't remember what it was called but remembered the soloist was Dawn Upshaw...(actually I remembered the soloist was Gwen Upjohn which didn't help)...
