    NP: ANDREW POWELL AND THE PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA PLAY THE BEST OF THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT

    Gee, you would think they could come up with a shorter, more creative title. Anyways, it's a rather cheesy album in that LSO Plays Classic Rock mold. Lose the pop beat already! But I'm holding on to it....I don't know, just because.
    I am extremely serious.

    Pop beat.....WAAAAGGGHHHHHHH angry cry

    I've rarely heard these things done right, some good ones that come to mind are Tubular Bells, Dark Side of The Moon and The Doors Concerto.

    There are brief moments on the CD that have pure orchestra and the tracks really shine in those moments. You heard a good DSOTM version? I hope you're not thinking of the OBJECTS OF FANTASY thing, because that also has the pop beat:

    I love "The Story of the Kalandar Prince" from Scheherazade. Exactly the kind of music I was hoping to find as I start my journey through the world of classical.

    Thanks! I remember that we've had this discussion at least once before....that is indeed a different, much better album. Thanks for sharing, great - very film music-like - version of "Time" there.

    Capriccio Espagnol is another fantastic example of the genius of Rimsky-Korsakov.
    http://sdtom.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/c … -korsakov/

    This one I researched pretty well so if you can get the Mercury recording go for it. The additional works included on the CD are also very good.

    http://www.amazon.com/Rimsky-Korsakov-B … amp;sr=8-7

    Don't let the prices scare you off at all. The public library had this one. Its pricey in the market because it is the best overall recording slightly ahead of the Kondrashin/RCA offering

    It is on the CD I bought with Scherehazade and Russian Easter Overture. So yes, it is quite good.

    Definitely beats 90% of today's film music...I love melodic pieces that have room to breathe, move and develop over a period of time longer than film scenes allow.

    Yeah, the way he moves phrases through different instruments and sections of the orchestra is brilliant and very enjoyable to listen to...it's a (mostly) lost art...

    How is your library situation? If it is good check it out. I would say that you could certainly get a lot out of it.

    NP: SO STILL - MOZEZ

    Anyone familiar with Zero 7 will recognise this guy's voice at the very least. This album is a kind of Zero 7-esque acoustic-electronic downtempo flavoured record with some R&B influences. It's warm, gentle and nice enough but there's only a couple of stand-out tracks IMO.
