  1. NP: Perry Rhodan: Pax Terra (1996) - Christopher Franke

    Inspired by the eternal running German space opera pulp series Perry Rhodan. Produced and performed by the same people that did the Babylon 5 scores. In contrast to those scores, this album is more on the easy listening side. The CD was quite sought after for a while but can now be obtained easily again.

  2. I beg to differ, most noble Tim, since this isn't the score of some film project. The concept album was inspired by the dime novel series Perry Rhodan in general.

    You might cmopare this to McNeely's Shadows of the Empire, safe that Pax Terra does not follow a certain story.

    NP: Cendres De Lune - Mylène Farmer

    I absolutely love Mylène's fragile style of singing (and it certainly helps she is stunning love ), but this early eighties album is just an awful throwback with some terribly and far too obviously dated synth and sampler work that sounds like New Order might have accidentally vomited it up before an evil French producer scooped it up and recycled it. I'll stick with her seminal L'Autre for this era. I think she did much better in the nineties.

    Very worthwhile.

    I intend to order the Tone Poems album. Thank you for the recommendation Erik.


    I also played this from looking at the side bar, an Alan Hovhaness piece I'd not heard before ( to be honest, the man was so prolific that there's a lot of his works I've not heard ), it's really beautiful. I particularly recommend it to Thor.

  4. NP: Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of SPARTACUS (1992)

    While this clearly does not have the greatness and splendour of The War of the Worlds, it does not deserve to be utterly forgotten. This album has its moments.

    NP: STONE CUTTERS AND EARLY CHAMBER WORKS (Elliot Goldenthal)

    The new CD just arrived in the mail (at last -- it's like 4 weeks shipping from the US, and the jewel case was totally cracked!). Listening to it now -- this is rather challenging, even in Goldenthal terms. I had the brass quintet already. As always, though, utterly fascinating music.

    It does have its moments, but precious few of them, unfortunately (Hopkins' voice acting and Catherine Z-J-D's singing two of them).
    But while the cast is unifomly very good, I think the compositional/musical ideas are spread too thin, with far too few strong melodies. And the (over-)reliance on keyboards and samplers makes the work sound oddly dated by today's standards...much more so than The War Of The Worlds!

    It was a crushingly disappointing follow-up to War of The Worlds. I can remember CZJ promoting the hell out of this on various chat shows at the time. It certainly did for her, any hopes of pop stardom.


    NP : STILL LIFE ( TALKING ) - Pat Metheny Group



    One of the best albums ever IMO. Joie de vivre love

    If anyone wants to listen to some modern, and most importantly, melodic and brilliantly played jazz then you can check the album out on Spotify.

    Note: The last two tracks 'Distance/In Her Family' ends the album in a very eerie way, very Morricone-ish, it wouldn't sound out of place in The Thing or one of the Spagetti Western desert settings. The track ends in a gorgeous melody for piano.

    There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
    Running before time took our dreams away
    Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
    To a life consumed by slow decay


    That's somehow fitting, ain't it? tongue

    NP: THE SICILIAN DEFENCE (The Alan Parsons Project)

    Scrapped 1979 instrumental album which was recently released in their 'complete collection' remasters box. Not terribly good (intentionally so), but with some highlights. At this point, I welcome any new AP with open arms.
