    not suppose to be dissonant at all. Listen to it again and concentrate on the rhythm.

    NP: SLOW MOTION (Supertramp)

    Friggin' 15 years since this, their last studio album. Given Rick Davies' health issues, I doubt we'll see another. sad

    My day was brightened on a rainy gloomy filled day with a new exciting work to me! Randall Thompson Symphony No. 2, written in 1931 it is a study in melodic rhythm tinged with a flair of jazz to it. The sound of it could very easily fit into a film soundtrack. Still working on the Bruckner piece but it is nice to take a break from it.

    I'm listening to Randall Thompson's Symphony No. 2 right now, thanks to your recommendation. It is excellent!
    Bach's music is heartless and robotic.

  1. NP: Reconstructed Artefacts (2003) - Synergy (Larry Fast)

    Opulent Electronica. This genre was never as big in the US as it is In Europe. Brian Eno of course is the big exception and Larry Fast is kind of a sleeper. This compilation of rerecorded tracks is well worth exploring.

    NP : ENGLISH, IRISH, SCOTTISH, CORNISH DANCES - Malcolm Arnold



    Superb work made up of traditional folk songs turned into short encapsulated orchestral works. This has long been a favourite of mine.

    Just check out the gorgeous romanticism of this piece...
    Tune.

    It's OK, but it's nowhere near GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, IMO.

  2. David Gilmour - Rattle That Lock

    Was inspired by the documentary I saw earlier, so I had to put this on. The man is a guitar god and he has a soothing voice too. It's good music but not brilliant.

    I'm working on my review of the 9th Bruckner Symphony and had no idea of the tragedy involved with it. As a few of you know it is not complete, only the first three movements. By the time he got around to doing the 4th movement he ould barely write and his ideas became scattere. The tragedy of it was delaying the completing of it due to meddler. He was constantly trying to improve some of his other works and by the time he got to do the final movement he was too feeble to complete it.

    Listening to Thinking of a Place of the band The War on Drugs. Never heard of them until recently when they released this fabulous track. A very atmospheric and perhaps melancholic track. My girlfriend says it reminds her of Bob Dylan.

  4. Hey, that is a wonderful piece!
    It reminds me of Dylan just insofar as the voice of the singer has some resemblance to the Nobel Laureate.
    The song itself has more in common with Santana methinks. Or Fleetwood Mac.

    finishing up my review with the bruckner piece. As I've listened to it over and over it is truly a masterpiece but I must say that it required multiple listenings to change my mind.

    NP: PEER GYNT: UTFOR STUPET (Eirik Myhr)

    Eirik and I attended the Short Film Festival in Grimstad, Norway last week, and he gave me two brand new CDs of his two PEER GYNT theatre scores (this being the first). Fine and varied stuff, especially the more ethereal bits.
    I am extremely serious.
  6. Is it the original play by Ibsen? I have never seen it on stage. I had no idea that Grieg's famous music is generally deemed unsuitable for the play. (An early example for a rejected score?) But that is indeed what I just read on Wiki.

    No, it's more of a contemporary version of the original Ibsen play. It's actually staged several times in Norway, often in spectacular, outdoors venues like in this case.

    The new music is by Eirik Myhr, who is a member here at the board. There are few references to the Grieg music -- perhaps in tone and style here and there. But this is really a different kettle of fish.

    I wonder how much it changed from the original? These kind of pieces fascinate me especially if there are indeed changes.

    There are no references to the Grieg music in that stage version. There is a brief cameo of the "Mountain King" chords in the sequel, SELVETS KEISER, that's it. You can check them out on Spotify, Tom.
