  1. NP: TEO & TEA (2007) - Jean Michel Jarre

    I did not listen to this album in ages. I remember I was hugely disappointed when it was released. I did not like it at all. I still thinks it's a rather weak album by JMJ's standarts. Yet I like it better now. Some great moments.

    Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

    ia a brilliant companion to

    Indeed it is. Both of those are smack in the middle of the pastoral/religious sound that I -- and Timmer -- love so much, and we've been tutoring their value for some years now.
    I am extremely serious.
  6. Try

    Russian Easter Overture for orchestra, Op. 36 by Rimsky Korsakov

    that I am now playing. It fits right there.

    Ah! We are all on the same card. cool

    Check THIS gobsmackingly gorgeous Hovhaness piece out, Hovhaness himself alludes to the RVW influence about this work. To me it is like a bridge between 'Tallis' and The Lark Ascending and another edge too, his Armenian influence perhaps? Whatever, it's a transcendental piece of work.

    ( I believe Thor may already be familiar with this piece I posted if memory serves? )

    The Russian Easter was one of the first LP's I owned and it is a fine example of the prowess of Korsakov's orchestration. He would have been a wonderful Hollywood composer in the tradition of Korngold.

    My selection this morning is three selections from Sigurd Jorsalfar/Grieg. The Malmo Orchestra plays his material well.

  13. NP: The Wall live in Berlin - Roger Waters
    Saturday 21st July 1990

    Bryan Adams; James Galway; Jerry Hall; The Hooters; Cyndi Lauper; Ute Lemper; Van Morrison; Sinead O'Connor; The Scorpions; The East Berlin Radio Orchestra & Choir; The Mlitary Orchestra of the Soviet Army ...

    I was in Berlin that night with my parents. I would have died to have a ticked, but even experiancing the buzz surrounding the event, all the fans roaming the place, was a thrill. That night I watches the live broadcast in my hotel room on a rediculously small TV set. Many performances were weak, performers not knowing their text, singing wrong words and notes, the sound in general was bad, but wtf?

    I remember the evening of November 9th 1989. It was my father's birthday. (It would have been his 83rd anniversary today ...). The house was full of guests, I was watching TV and saw what was going on. I will never forget how I broke the news to everyone present that the Wall had come down.

    Many happy memories.

    I remember seeing that show live on an old black/white television at our summer house in Denmark. Fond memories! Of course, I've since bought the DVD, but lots of nostalgia connected to this period. Even though I didn't live in Germany, we felt the implications of what was happening down there.
    I am extremely serious.

    Ooh, I'm loving Kiasmos (aka Olafur Arnalds + Janus Rasmussen). Dreamy piano, ambient synths mixed with stylish, (for the most part) minimalistic electronica (ie. beats and bass)... a wonderful chill out album rooted in dance; and towards the end, "Bent" hands out a serious asskicking - if you like this sort-of acid / trance-like music.

    Just so I remember to check this one out. The thread you posted in isn't one I'd think of checking.

  16. NP: One of These Nights (1975) - The Eagles

    A fantastic album. My personal highlight of course is Bernie Leadon's instrumental "Journey of the Sorcerer" that was used in the original BBC radio play The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

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

    A Babylon-5-styled concept album inspired by Germany's longest running pulp space opera series. Very nice.

  19. Just played:
    Symphonie Nr.1 "Der Titan" - Gustav Mahler
    Berlin Philharmonics conducted by Claudio Abbado in 1989 / Deutsche Grammophon

    One of my favourite symphonies.

  22. One of my most personal all-time albums. Especially Harmonia Mundi smile

    Vangelis - Mythodea

    Interstellar got me back to this smile And of course it's great!

    A great choice. Mythodea is fantastic.

  24. I'm collecting a couple of potential inspirations for my review of Interstellar (on my Polish site). All the scores are exquisite, so it's that more enjoyable (I'll write about the score in its specific thread some time later, I want to collect my thoughts).

    You'll also enjoy the fact what I discovered recently, but allow me to write about it when I get back, probably to get some rest from the Interstellar preps smile .

    But the music Vangelis composed for the recent Rosetta/comet mission was rather disappointing, IMO.

  26. It gives you tremors of nostalgia. On the other side the anachronism is disappointing.

  27. NP: Alpha Centauri (1971) - Tangerine Dream

    Flute, organ, contemporary electronics in the background, meandering melodies ... enchanting!

    This album influenced every composer thereafter and - by a wired twist in spacetime - every composer that came before. biggrin wink

    It's great. Mike Oldfield via Karl Jenkins. Makes me wish that someone would re-record the orchestral versions of Tubular Bells and Hergest Ridge.

    You and me both! I'd have thought it would be commercially viable too?

  30. NP: Man on the Rocks Instrumental Version (2014) - Mike Oldfield

    This album is a disappointment. Telling that I like the instrumental version better than the one with vocals. It makes for some OK undemanding background listening.
