    Martijn, Do you know who Steve Reich is? wink

    And yes, I am familiar with the Smith stuff you mentioned and yes....It's FOOKING COOKING! punk

    With luck your post might tempt someone else here to check out Jimmy Smith cool beer

    I have NO idea.
    But he sounds like a Nazi, or possibly even a minimalist.
    And I hate those guys.

    One would hope! Never too late for a little experimenting, boys and gals!

    What a wonderful work Tim!!!!!! But you spell it antarctica.



    I don't know why Tom, but on ALL the versions I have it's spelt 'A-N-T-A-R-T-I-C-A ? no extra C

    No idea why? On the film score it is, indeed SCOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC.

    Can anyone explain? confused


    Well, the only accepted proper spelling is of course "AntarCtic", WITH the extra -c-, finding its roots in the Greek 'antarktiké (which would translate as "opposite of the arctic" ).

    Oddly the original English spelling of the word indeed -for reasons lost in time- left out the first -c-. However, this -c- was reinserted as early as the 17th century. According to scholars this was most likely a conscious effort to make the English word conform to its Greek root.

    Why Vaughn Williams should have chosen a spelling so ancient is beyond me.
    Maybe he was ultra-conservative? wink

    NP: Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash
    Nash' debut album is a darkly humorous and musically infectious little treat. Not as powerful everywhere as possible, but creative and fresh throughout. The hit song "Foundations" is a highlight with its extremely wry look at a disfunctional relationship. It's not only good music, it's clever too... and the girl is only twenty! shocked Great voice, interesting depth (lyrically as well as vocally) and you just gotta love that Cockney slant. She can shout "RICKAYYYY" at me any day. love

    Yeah it's not bad at all.

    It's damn good hearing someone sing in they're own accent as well rather than phoney American generic. One of the reasons I always had respect for The Proclaimers.

    Wow. The Proclaimers. Now THERE's a name I haven't heard for a long time... I had an album of theirs, but beyond their greatest and (as far as I know?) only true international hit, they never caught on much here, or with me, to be honest.
    God, was that 1987?
    Sometimes I get a little mystified as to where all the years went, while I apparently was occupied elsewhere... sad

    Anyway, I hear they're touring again, though?

    Yep! They played Glastonbury last year though I didn't see them.


    I'll be at Glastonbury this year too, though the line up looks pretty crap! What should I care, I'm getting paid for it. biggrin

    I know rolleyes

    I'm sure there'll be something I really want to see by the time the full line-up is announced?

    p.s. Glastonbury sold out in minutes when the tickets sold on line last year, this year there are still thousands left. Seems lots of Brits are heading abroad to your neck of the woods Martijn because it's cheaper and I don't blame them, Glasto is a massive rip-off!

    I always thought with Antarctica you spelled out the word arctic at least that must be how I learned to spell it in school.

    NP: Jazz at The College of Pacific---Dave Brubeck

    This was an LP transfer on the Fantasy label #F3223. It is a mono recording dating from 1953 featuring Dave and Desmond. It does include Laura in a sweeping concert-like interpretation almost like how Previn might play it. No Desmond, bass or drums on that track.
    listen to more classical music!

    NP : The Very Best of WAR



    Oh but this is just too cool! cool

    Low Rider which has been used in films and advertisments is the one people will recognise but really it's one of the lesser tracks on this great collection.

    One of the tracks 'Nappy Head' Theme from Ghetto Man ( no, me neither ) could easily go on the cool themes list I wrote on the NP thread. biggrin

    I noticed on the CD that it comes with a *, as in Antartica*.

    I'll have to dig out the LP box and see what I have of Jimmy Smith. I do remember The Cat album with a nice rendition of Carpetbaggers as well as the Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (weird cover). Overall, I liked him. If I remember right Schifrin had some arranging on The Cat.
    listen to more classical music!

    Ravings from several posters here notwithstanding I have to admit to not having given either a listen... shame

    NP: Rockferry - Duffy
    Another young UK star exploding on the scene last year out of pretty much nowhere. Is it yet another wave of the Brit Invasion? One can only hop!
    Not as rough 'round the edges as aformentioned Kate Nash, Duffy presents a very nice, polished, old-time R&B (that's Rhythm & Blues, kids, not Rhyme & Bass or whatever they turned it into when hip hop reared its ugly head) Motown-reminiscent style, with vocal stylings to match. The hit Mercy is a fantastic toe-tapper. Me like. A lot!

    Me too, I played this quite a few times when I got it some weeks ago cool

    Try and check out Antartica some time Martijn....quite possibly the nearest one will get to actually being there, it really is that descriptive, it also features one of the most powerful statements for Organ you'll hear this side of Bach, though it is brief.

    From the classical world I think only Holst, Copeland, Shostakovitch and Prokofiev have as many fans from a love of film music as Vaughan Williams ( maybe not a surprise that besides Holst ALL have done film scores ). As an FSM regular of many years I can tell you that there are many American RVW fans
