Am I the only one left here who is still listening to any kind of music?
Yeah man, all day, like, I'm getting high on the music of the UNIVERSE, man. It's, like, why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? We have a loudspeaker here, and when we go into battle we play music, very loud. It kind of... calms us down.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

Totally felt like some stoner rock after a very hectic week.
My own Dandy Warhols compilation. As cool as Kim Deal.
I frequently just want silence. No music then. Especially when I am very tired or when I have listened to lots of music in the preceding days.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

The Einaudi piece is almost like a fourth part of Horner's concerto.
I don't know. It is very pretty but, like much of Einaudi, it's music very much based on an endless simple chord progression, which sets it apart. Not a criticism but it's miles from Horner's complexity. -

Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto
There is no greater piece of music than this. One of our species' finest achievements, up there with the discovery of evolution and stepping foot on on the moon.
Also, I'm drunk. Portent flows as freely as the wine. -

The Tempest Tchaikovsky
I listen to this extremely evocative 20 mins piece a lot, really love it. The beginning and end really remind me of Goldenthal's 'Sphere' main titles and 'Symphony in G'. -

Have you heard Goldenthal's own THE TEMPEST (incidentally nothing like the Tchaikovsky)?I am extremely serious. -
- CommentTimeJul 29th 2015
I have, but I can't remember much about it other than finding it a disjointed listen, must give it another go.
I've been really digging into Goldenthal's concert work in the last couple of months and I'm very music enjoying it. -

I hadn't heard this yet!?
Very cool again, a bit darker than usual perhaps, and not as outspoken?
Very good music to work at.Kazoo -

Yeah, great album (as the title suggest, it's supposed to be their very last studio album). I've been fortunate to see them live twice. Once as a warm-up to Jarre here in Oslo 4 years ago, and then again this summer during the music festival in my hometown.I am extremely serious. -

NP: Masters of Lights - The Last Crusade (2014) - Jean Philippe Vanbeselaere
I stumbled over this album while idly surfing Tadlow's web site. This CD can be ordered from the composer or through Tadlow, which I did. It is not a Tadlow production though. Mr. Fitzpatrick's involvement was limited to contracting the Prague Philharmonics. The label "Europa Music Productions" doesn't seem to be doing anything really. If I read things correctly, this is very much a self-publishing effort of the composer in order to advertise himself as a composer of film scores.
Anyhow, this isn't bad. Thing is, that the music is rather simple. The chord progressions often will remind you of pop music. I don't get the medieval connection, and the electric guitar doesn't help here. All in all the music follows trodden paths. Some wannabe film composer has gotten himself a CD production. Oh, well.
EDIT: Upon second listen, my initial judgement was too hard. This album is really nice, despite the electric guitar.

The 'Ring' Without Words Wagner
In the last few week's I listened to Solti's 'Ring' Cycle, which is terrific but a big time commitment, so this is a fantastic way to quickly experience the brilliant orchestral writing in the 'Ring' in one sitting. I just got this a few days ago on both CD and concert Blu-ray and I can't stop playing them both, I know some people consider the very idea of this to be heresy but I think it's absolutely fantastic! -

I'm a big fan of that album. Lorin Maazel also did "Tannhäuser Without Words".

Since I come from such a strong opera family (my mom's cousin Solveig Kringlebotn/Kringleborn is generally considered one of Norway's greatest sopranos), I've tried to embrace the genre -- and once in a while I DO love me an aria or two. But in general, I find it hard to get through whole operas on album (stage is a different thing). So that Wagner album actually sounds up my alley. I've been meaning to check it out for YEARS, but never got around to it.I am extremely serious. -

I can't recommend it highly enough Thor and if it's the type of thing your into the DVD/Blu-ray of it (Also Conducted by Maazel and performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker but recorded 12 years later) is an absolute joy. You can get them both pretty cheaply:
