  1. NP: Melos (Vassilis Tsabropoulos & Anja Lechner)

    Cello and piano based album... mixing jazz, minimalism and warm lyrical folk styles. Quietly beautiful and captivating.

    Nice to come across my second fantastic non-film instrumental album in as many days.

    NP: Eidelon (Nervous Doll Dancing)

    Quite a striking cello-led instrumental album. Quiet impressionist pieces. I want more film music to feel like this these days -- there just isn't enough of it. Would fit well into the ECM recording label ethos (and this may in fact be an ECM release) but it's a bit more emotionally warm than a lot of those.


    Listening to another album today from the same artist, this one shares the artist's name, Nervous Doll Dancing. Quite nice. Someone should get her to do an interesting film.

    NP : SYMPHONY # 9 - Philip Glass



    One of my better buys this year, very powerful stuff.

  4. How does it compare to his other work? (Or even his other symphonies? I quite liked 8.)

    if you like 8 then you'll like 9 wink

    Seriously, I enjoyed it much more than his 8th, it's purely orchestral but no surprises, I don't really have the musical vocabulary to make it anymore detailed than that ( possibly because I'm drunk right now dizzy )

    NP: THOMAS AND THE KING (John Williams)

    Some songs are ok-ish, but most of it meanders both in the lyrics and music department. Not one of Johnny's shining moments, that's for sure.
    I am extremely serious.

    Symphony No. 1 "The Gothic" - Havergal Brian

    Oh my oh my! This is freaking huge!
    Large extended orchestra (BBC included) and multiple choirs totalling around 800 people all up!
    All performing for nearly two hours under the batten of Martyn Brabbins.
    This monster symphony is fairly new to me. But wow, I'm glad I've found it! Great, powerful, massive stuff!

    I believe it employs the largest orchestral forces of any work and is in the Guinness Book of Records as the "largest" symphony. ( I'll have to look this up to get my facts right )

    I think it's a fabulous work, glad you're enjoying it beer

    NP : SWEET DREAMS - Roy Buchanan



    From blues to jazz/funk, a master guitarist.

    Thor, check out this track, very Gilmour/Floyd-esque, you may even recognise part of it if you ever owned the soundtrack to Carl Sagan's COSMOS.

  20. NP: 'Aurora' (Hans Zimmer)

    Hmmmm. All very good to give to charity, but this does feel like a piece that was composed a bit quickly.

    Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports

    I never heard any Eno before, except Heat's Force Marker. A very, very good, laid-back, reflective, but somehow hopeful album, very restrained, the kind of music I love at the moment. Will listen to more of his.

    Some of the music reminds me somehow of James Horner's ambient scores like House of Sand and Fog or The Life Before Her Eyes.

    Dessine-moi un mouton - Mylène Farmer

    The inherent melancholy of Saint-Exupéry has always touched me deeply, and the thoroughly invasive song by Farmer always strikes a VERY strong chord with me..

    It may just be the most melancholic song I know.
    If one is familiar with Le Petit Prince, that is.

    Eno has always been a fav of mine, but even moreso in recent years, with my newfound love of the calm, hypnotic and ambient. Check out the lovely...uhm, LOVELY BONES as well as his scores for fictional films.

    Eno is a genius! I've loved his work for years right from when I first heard of him as a member of Roxy Music.

    Pawel, if I could recommend one album to you in particular it would be APPOLLO: ATMOSPHERES AND

    Here's a track from it, ASCENT, this piece seers into the depths of my being, just sublimely beautiful and so haunting, it's often used in documentaries and the like and as such may even be familiar to you?


    EDIT: Try this one> ASCENT

  27. Vangelis - Heaven & Earth

    Interesting album that will take me a longer time to fully get into. Somehow reminds me of early Mike Oldfield works.

  28. Vangelis - Silent Portraits

    And this is one of my all-time favourite albums.
