NP: Magical Mystery Tour (1967) - John, Paul, George and Ringo
I think, this is my favourite BEATLES album.
You know, I may be with you on that!
And not because it contains my second favourite Beatles song ever 'Strawberry Fields Forever' ('Hey Jude' is number one, for anyone interested), but because the album has such an excellent flow to it (better even than Sgt. Pepper, in my opinion).'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

Leroy Anderson performed by the Allentown Band. Often forgotten Anderson contributed just as much to American music as Sousa or Copland. I can remember playing some of his tunes in high school.

NP: The Best of Rock'n'Roll
I found this newly released Polystar compilation in the budget section of a local record store. The playlist is predictable, all the evergreens are there. Some I had before on other CDs. By comparison the new masters sound fantastic.

Volker, have you ever listened to Karl Weigl before? He wrote a most interesting work for left hand only on the piano. When I listen to it it's absolutely amazing.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - PINK FLOYD
Can you believe I only discovered this band and this album only about a year ago?
Of course I had heard of them and 'Another Brick in the Wall' is just a wonderfully catchy tune but other than that one, I knew nothing of them. But that may have been because I didn't particularly like their style, their sound back in the day. But over the years I've been expanding my tastes, and then I heard this one, it's been a love affair ever since. In fact, every listen of this superbly remastered CD I discover something new and wonderful. It's truly among the finest albums ever made. The musicianship is exquisite.
I only own Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. Any others that offer that typical PF sound? But more of the type of TDSOTM."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

An especially powerful moving work is Miaskovsky's Symphony No. 21 that I think both Volker and Timmer might like. It is done in one movement of about 20 minutes.

So glad you've discovered the glory of Pink Floyd, Gilles! I became a fan in the mid or late 80s, when I was just a toddler, really, and have never looked back since.
You own the essentials, I would say. The early, more psychedelic Syd Barrett years are perhaps not for you (although SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS has some good tracks that showcase some of the style to come).
I suggest you get OBSCURED BY CLOUDS (a film score, even!), THE FINAL CUT (a sort-of leftover album from THE WALL), A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON and THE DIVISION BELL.
Also some good stuff among the members' solo efforts. Check out, in particular, Roger Waters' AMUSED TO DEATH, Rick Wright's BROKEN CHINA and Dave Gilmour's ABOUT FACE.I am extremely serious. -

I have a lot of making up to do (The Wall for example, actually. I also need to see the film), but except Dark Side, my favorite albums of them are Wish You Were Here (yes, actually) and The Division Bell. I used to have a not-so-legit copy of The Final Cut.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Geometry of Love (2003) - Jean-Michel Jarre
I was finally able to buy a new copy for a reasonable price from a gentleman in Britain.
Ambient, as it was designed as background music in the first place. But top notch. A great album.

Although SESSIONS 2000 (which came out three years earlier) is more experimental and "jazzy", this is more laidback and loungey -- which, as you say, is obvious, given its original use. Both of them are ambient and a great example of Jarre's grasp of non-melodic electronic music. These are albums I usually refer people to when they go on about how bad TEO & TEA was (which I don't agree with either, but that's a different story).I am extremely serious. -

Just got home from the folks' place. Though I'm full of food and wine, I'm sure I can squeeze in an hour of lamp-lit, brandy-fuelled serenity before I head back to work tomorrow ( ).

Of course, I know this exquisite album. I love Knopfler, both in Dire Straits and, actually, solo. I really like his last album as well.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

It's a fine album -- and obviously their most well-known -- but their "masterpiece" is LOVE OVER GOLD, IMO. Quite cinematic in places.I am extremely serious. -
