    Me too, at age 6. But only kiddie records. My proper musical "awareness" didn't come about untill I was some 8-9. Most of it was influenced by my dad's record collection, which is why several of my favourite artists are from before my birth.

    NP: SOMEWHERE IN THE AUDIENCE (Eric Woolfson)

    Musicals are hit and miss for me, but I've always loved Woolfson's stuff. This tribute album, released after his death, has some great covers of this material. But I'm sure that for many of you, this is an example of the very thing you hate with contemporary musicals (Timmer would hate this album!).

  5. NP: Day Fever (2017) - Dear Reader

    I like this a lot. On Spotify.

    NP: OXYGENE 3 (Jean Michel Jarre)

    It's OK, but I'm not entirely sold. It's not on the level of either the first or second.
    I am extremely serious.
  7. It has grown on me but I ultimately agree. In structure this third incarnation is closer to the original album then the second one was. The style is up to date, there is no resurrection of yesteryear's sound, but there are constant and rather subtle references to the original Oxygene.
    The final organ like pad sequence gets to me every time. So emotional.

    Yeah, I have a feeling it will grow on me a bit. I'm late to the party, but I wanted to wait untill I found a CD I could afford.

    I haven't heard it yet. The first was and is brilliant and I liked the second.

    Ruin & Memory Howard Shore

    If shore decided to focus only on concert works, I'd be okay with this.
  11. NP: Voulez-Vous (1979) - ABBA

    UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Nothing short of that.

  13. Warsaw Philharmonic: Karol Szymanowski

    A collection of Szymanowski's work performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic (an orchestra I got to hear live a few times at least) based on a new deal they have with Warner Classics. I am hardly an expert in Szymanowski's work, having only heard the third symphony live once. This album features it (under a different conductor, but same orchestra). This CD serves as my introduction.

    Szymanowski was a great composer, harmonically very complex. I'd be glad to discover that much more of it.

    It is on Spotify, so if anyone is interested (also in hearing Polish as it really sounds!), you can listen to it there.

    NP: FEELING WEIRD (The Infinity Project)

    One of the CLASSIC psytrance albums from 1995; raw, lean and gritty. This was before it was all 'lush-ified' (which I also like, btw).
    I am extremely serious.
  15. NP: Ommadawn (1975) - Mike Oldfield

    This is an enduring masterpiece. I revisit this classic album before giving Return to Ommadawn its first spin.

  16. NP: Return to Ommadawn (2017) - Mike Oldfield

    As Jean Michel Jarre releases Oxygen 3, Mike Oldfield revisits Ommadown. The connection between the 1975 original album and the recent release lies in the orchestration rather than the melodic content. It is pleasant, maybe too pleasant. It lacks the rawness, the grittiness that define certain passages of the original Ommadawn. Still, this is my favourite Oldfield album since Music of the Spheres. A winner.

  23. Snare drum players who have to perform Bolero, I think.
  24. Pink Floyd's The Wall

    I give this one a rating of 9 out of 5, because it's much better than perfect. cool

    Agreed. On my own Top 5 of non-film music albums. Overplayed or not.

  26. Funnily enough for me it's not yet overplayed, I only got into the band about 3-4 years ago.

    I am quite ashamed of not discovering them earlier. Ignoring them for years and years, what was I thinking? shame

    There's a new Roger Waters album coming in May... Can't wait !

    This album has been much sneered at for not being as progressive as earlier albums of Pink Floyd. It does mark Waters' takeover and the turn towards arena rock.
    Still I believe this is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I regard Waters as a real poet. In my view The Wall is first and foremost a musically enhanced cycle of poems. What a great concept this is.
    My praise for Waters does not mean not to appreciate Gilmour's contributions to the album.
    One of my all time favourite rock albums. One to return to time and again.

    I could live without Bolero. But I'm probably soured by the miserable experience I had of listening to that piece during an MRI.

    I agree with your assessment. It's true poetry, the man has written some of the most meaningful, deep lyrics I've ever heard uttered in vocalized songs. Because he uses his poetry to address many of the social and political issues of those times, and what do you know, they're still relevant today.

    The Wall is part 1 of a trilogy. The Final Cut (Pink Floyd) is part 2. Amused to Death (his 1992 solo album) is part 3.

    IMO if you love The Wall, the other 2 will be absolutely worth your time and attention.

    Personally speaking I adore all three of them. Because I think Roger Waters is a legend, even if 4 years ago I didn't even know who he was... crazy

    They're all brilliant. I also like RADIO KAOS and THE PROS AND CONS OF HITCHHIKING. Less enthusiastic about his opera CA IRA.

    But I've always felt that saying you like THE WALL is like saying "The Beatles was a popular band". It hardly gives you any cred, since it's such a universally liked and known album. But that's not the album's fault. There's a reason it became such a classic in the first place. One shouldn't be afraid to express one's admiration for a popular album.
    I am extremely serious.
