    Keane - Hopes and Fears

    Their first and still their best. Not a guitar in sight and bloody brilliant britpop. The tunes are insanely infectious and performed with passion and guts. Loving it each time. love


    the first is indeed the best of the 3, but the second has some of the coolest songs yet
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    I must admit I'm not keen on Keane.

    Some pleasant pop ditties but they don't rock my boat.

    That's because they're no rock band mate. As far as I can tell not a single guitar riff is present in 'Hopes and Fears'.

    And what do you mean you're not keane on Keen? slant

    Orchestral Works Volume 3 Vincent D'Indy. This is new to me and includes Istar, Symphony No. 3, and a saxophone work. So far I need to get into it as this is the first listen.

    What an odd review.
    "These are not his last recordings and these are not his lost recordings. We've been very careful about that. But it's important to recognise that these are also not sketchy one-guitar demos. This is real stuff that he obviously felt very strongly about."

    So these tracks weren't lost. They're not his last. They're not demos... so what are they?
    A full album they forgot about for forty years?
    Maybe they didn't think Hendrix would sell well?
    It's all very weird. dizzy I'd love to hear more on how this came to light.

    Me too, it does seem odd, very odd indeed.

    Still, for me this is a MUST HAVE.

    It would have been a damn fine one.

    Mysterious Mountain/And God Created Great Whales Alan Hovhaness

    Religion sure does inspire some astounding music. Very Vaughan Williamsesque, which is fine by me!

    Four Preludes for Chamber Orchestra Boris Tchaikovsky. I'm quite taken by the interesting combination of instruments that Boris chose for this work. I can understand why the Soviet government banned it at the time.

    After reading what happened last night I can only say that you've made a sublime choice of album to listen to, Barry has powers to heal, that's a fact.
