    NP : CHURCH WINDOWS - Ottorino Respighi



    I can hear why Tom did this > shocked < at the thought of trying to explain these pieces.

    However, that shouldn't put anyone off as Respighi's work is incredibly accessable, this is full of gorgeous melody ( as one would expect from an Italian composer ), powerful, romantic and nostalgic, a truly beautiful work.

    I did finish my review. And it is a piece I do recommend for all. Of the two I prefer the Brazilian Nights.

    I felt that the Brazilian Impressions was a new take on the world of South American music. Put it in a bit of a different light.

    NP : Best of - Stevie Wonder



    Once you program out crap like I Just Called To Say I Love You and Ebony And Ivory and the like you're left with some classic songs by a genuine genius.

    The theme to Monty Pythons Flying Circus is a Sousa march.

    Not my thing really though Tom.

    Entry Of The Gladiators? Not my favourite either.

    But his Stars And Stripes Forever?
    Damn, that even makes ME stand up and salute!

    I have an eclectic mix of techno and traditional (and not-so-traditional) marching band music mixed on my iPod when I go training. Gotta say that works like a charm for motivation!

    NP: PIANO CONCERTO NO. 1 IN F SHARP MINOR, OP. 1....MILY BALAKIREV

    Considered to be the leader of the 'Mighty Five' this one movement concerto has a 3+ introduction before the piano. Especially nice considering this was his first published work.

    This work being only 14+ minutes has allowed me to listen multiple times and I'm really impressed as a first opus. It is also very Russian sounding.

    NP : 3 VIEWS OF A SECRET - Jaco Pastorius



    Fabulous big band jazz album from bass playing genius Jaco, the title track is simply sublime and features Toots Thielemons on Harmonica ( He played harmonica on Barry's Midnight Cowboy ).

    Nope but when you mentioned harmonica I always think of the haunting Morricone theme from Once Upon A Time In The West.

    I wholeheartedly agree dear Tom, but i stopped giving a damn since it seems that doing so,i felt as a grumpy party pooper who's not pleased with anything nor will let others enjoy their Banghras so i decided to stop and laugh instead. smile

    Shouldn't it have been called Timmer? wink

    Seriously though...DAMN, I never realized how well Barry's work is suited to lounge remixing!
    Excellent work, this! Wouldn't mind having a listen in proper stereo/sound quality. This is exactly the kind of thing I like a LOT. lick

    Kudos to your mate, Timmer!

    I don't know Dan who did the track, just my very talented musician friend Roger who played on various tracks ( check out his trumpet playing on 'It's Coming' also by Grantby in the side bar ).

    I'd swear that Barry is second only to Morricone when it comes to sampling!?

    And Timmer? Yeah, if I knew Dan better that would have been ultra cool cool

    NP : SURFING WITH THE ALIEN - Joe Satriani



    Guitar brilliance extraordinaire. Joe can play billions of notes and make it all melodic and accessable, most so-called rock guitar gods are mere wannabees compared to this genius.

  1. NP: MGV - Michael Nyman

    Over the years I've listened to this far more often than The Piano Concerto (preferring the OST). "5th Region" is such a great track and I always think that Nyman's string lines here are gorgeous.

    And when the brass kick's in as well... punk
