    NP: ANOTHER DAY ON EARTH (Brian Eno)

    Strange and offbeat, as usual, but pleasing.
    I am extremely serious.

    I've not heard the release you have. As to the Tale of the Priest and his Worker Balda it is somewhat cartoon like except for the Dream track which really borders on slow cool west coast jazz. He made fine use of the saxophone.

    NP: Reel Life - The Private Music of Film Composers Vol.1

    An intriguing compilation of chamber music by Kamen, Shore, Broughton and others. It includes a recording of Shore's quirky Hughie as recently performed in Lucerne.

    Kamen's Cut Sleeves is beautiful, with some intricate woodwind writing.

    No, I didn't post it in the wrong thread. It's a concept album with tracks from "fictional" films. Superb moody stuff.

    Stenka Razin by Glazunov. This orchestral tone poem is about as Russian as you'll ever hear. The song about the Volga Boatmen is featured.

    NP: RAJA RAM'S STASH BAG (Raja Ram)

    Ram is a legend of Goa/psytrance, and this is a pretty lean, but cool collection. Pretty "acid trip" cover too.

  2. After listening to Radical Face's "Welcome Home" I'm listening to some other of their tracks - including "Wrapped In Piano Strings" and "Winter Is Coming". I wouldn't say I enjoy all of their stuff but these tracks are excellent.

    Also listening to Electric President's "Safe and Sound" and "Ten Thousand Lines". Also excellent.

    Kepler - Philip Glass

    This is fantastic. I've been drawn back to this repeatedly over the last couple of months. The last two movements (Emphemerides and Finale) are among the most powerful orchestral and choral music ever penned by Glass.

    I was looking into this and notice that it's an opera: something I do tend to avoid with some vigour. Obviously, the choral would be worth hearing but as soon as I hear the warbling of the soloists then I just switch off. "Your loss" I hear people say, but I have standards! wink

    Overture on Greek Themes a pretty incredible work if you consider the fact that Glazunov wasn't even 16 when he composed it.

    Quite taken by it. I'd give it a top 100 Classical rating.
