  1. NP: To Jupiter and Back (2012) - Kebu
    on spotify

    This is a tribute album to elctronica instrumental music of the 70s and 80s. It was recorded with vintage analoge synths, sequencer and tape machine. The sound time-warpes you right back to 1977 or so. The tribute is aimed chiefly towards Jean Michel Jarre, but some tracks habe a Vangelis vibe about them.
    I contemplated buying this, but then - I have staples of CDs from the original artists, so I didn't.

    Whoever is interested in such stuff might also want to check out Elektronalin's Equinoxe 2.
    This guy recreated the sound of JMJ using freeware vsti synths.

    Great track! Very Pink Floyd-ish even. Buchanan was a fantastic guitarist.

    NP : THERE AND BACK - Jeff Beck



    Brilliant instrumental album from the guitar maestro. Those who frequent this thread may know that this album has been a very regular play for me over the years.

    You should check this out Captain ( and Thor ), I just looked and I see it is up on Spotify.

    I remember checking it out on a previous occasion when you recommended it, and liking it quite a bit. But it can't have made a big impact, since I haven't returned to it. I'll give it another Spotify spin.

  7. NP: Waiting for Cousteau (1990) - Jean Michel Jarre

    This is the only album by JMJ of which I was never able to obtain the 1997-or-so remaster for a reasonable prize. (50€+ slant ). So I was very pleased to buy the current re-re-master for €6,50. Otherwise I won't update, since the reviews of the new remasters are mixed at best and I am happy with what I have.

    This album is not much talked about. I think its outstanding.

  8. NP: The Symphonic Jean Michel Jarre (2006)
    Tadlow/Silva

    This album was talked about lately on this board and on others. I decided to buy it. Yeah, well, as Thor said on FSM recently, the conversion from synth to orchestra works better with some tracks than it does with others. To me the whole things sounds very "80-ish". In the 80s we had a wave of pop music played by orchestra: The Royal Philhamonic and other orchestras playing ABBA and Queen and whatnot, Rondo Veneciano, Doldinger's "Flug auf dem Glücksdrachen / Bastian's Happy Flight" also comes to mind.
    I'm very fine with those tracks that are symphonic in nature already in their original form, like "Industrial Revolution."

    Yeah, some of the tracks on the SYMPHONIC JMJ album walks painfully close to those old "LSO Plays Classic Rock" albums (which I loved then, but not anymore).

    WAITING FOR COSTEAU, however, is pretty fantastic. One of the few albums I have in LP format (given to me by my uncle back then, since he knew I was a JMJ fan), but copied to cassette and it was the cassette that was almost worn out. The title track is surely something to get lost in.

  10. NP: The Orchestral Tubular Bells (1975) - Mike Oldfield

    I bought this alongside The Symphonic Jean Michel Jarre. I believe the quality of the recording / the sound was bewailed in these parts. Sofar I don't concur. This sounds just fine.

    On an unrelated note: I drank three pints of beer in quick order and I feel pleasantly tipsy. drink smile

    Speaking of Oldfield I was just listening to some PEKKA POHJOLA

    The superb Finnish bass player/composer once did an album with Oldfield. It's bloody excellent too but unfortunately, I believe, hard to get. ( nothing on Spotify )


    NP : KEESOJEN LEHTO - Pekka Pohjola



    This is that album I had featuring Mike Oldfield ( it also features his sister, Sally ), I used to have it on LP too, here in the UK it was released by Virgin as a MIKE OLDFIELD album under the title THE CONSEQUENCES OF INDECISIONS ( and very hard it is to find too ).

    My favourite track can be found at the 5 minute mark HERE with Pohjola playing Harpsicord followed by Sally Oldfield's wordless vocals and Mike's guitar, this is musical nirvana for me.

    The whole album is great, maybe both Volker and Thor should check it out here on the YT post above, unfortunately the album isn't available on either artist catalogue on Spotify.

    NP: BRUCKNER SYMPHONY NO. 4 "ROMANTIC"

    This is a new recording from Reference Recordings. It is live performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony and the best I've heard ever. Fantastic liner notes from the conductor Manfred Honeck who explained the work so that all can understand. This is my next CD for review.

    For you dear Sir? Yes, most probably! wink ( in fact, considering his very modern "classical" influences I'd say his influence was more directly Rautavaara rather than Debussy.

  21. NP: Journey to the Heart (1999) - Bernward Koch

    Bernward Koch is an New Age piano and synth artist. He is fairly well known in the American New Age music scene where he entered the Billboard New Age charts. A local celebrity he lives about 3 km from my place.

  22. NP: Chichester Psalms - Leonard Bernstein
    I sing in a local choir, and we are performing this, as well as some Max Baumann in a few weeks.
    Really interesting music, the only tricky part is the lyrics, I have never sung in Hebrew before!
  23. I love ABBA

    A playlist based on a German LP compilation my sister gave me as a Christmas gift over 30 years ago.

  29. NP: Keesojen Lehto / The Mathemtician's Air Display (1977) - Pekka Pojohla

    Klassik progressive rock in the same line as GENESIS, GENTLE GIANT or VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, but flavoured with the sound of producer and instrumentalist Mike Oldfield.

    Great, great music. Thanks, Timmer, for pointing this one out for me. beer
