    Just listened to Go Do by Jonsi. After the song in HtTYD and the songs in WE BOUGHT A ZOO I think I like Jonsi a lot. Anyone know this guy / band? Have any recommendations for albums or songs I should start with?


    Jonsi is/was the lead vocalist of post-rock band Sigur Ros, as you may or may not know. I like some of their stuff, but Bregt is really the guy to ask. I think he's a big fan.

    I haven't heard THOSE guys for ages!

    Part of my childhood memories. It's one of the first bands I remember loving. I remember having arguments with my brother when I was telling him that The Beatles are better than Roxette. Then it all went downhill. My music tastes literally went chronologically from Roxette to The Beatles, to Backstreet Boys (I kid you not, luckily it took merely a year) to Hans Zimmer biggrin


    Roxette!? shocked The Backstreet Boys!? shocked shocked HANS ZIMMER!?? shocked shocked shocked shocked ( okay I'll let you off the last one! biggrin wink )

  2. What's wrong with ROXETTE ? I think they've done some classy tunes. Much more classy than what we hear on the radio nowadays. Marie Fredriksson has an amazing voice.

    Her voice is fine but pretty indistinguishable from so many others. 'much more classy than what we hear on the radio nowadays'? Not any more or less than it always has been, open your ears and there's still great pop being produced, there's also a lot of shit but then there always has been.

    I'm afraid Roxette is a sound I really don't like.

    Roxette is part of my childhood, so I have that connection. But even in retrospect (now that I'm older and wiser), I think some of their music is quite good -- at times a Swedish, not quite-so-ambitious version of Eurythmics.

    "The Look" is awesome!

    Backstreet Boys, however, is unforgivable! wink

    I own and still love their 'Joyride' album, which is now more than 20 years old. shocked I admit their later work hasn't done much for me but their early stuff was among the best of the popular music at that time.

    As for modern day pop tunes, I like Keane and Hooverphonic a lot. cool

    It's all too much a world of 1980's Tom Cruise films for me. Awful IMO.

    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.


    FLY NIGHT BIRD


    Thor, did you give this track a listen?

    Pretty good, yes. It resembles Rick Wakeman a bit too, especially the synths.

    I was playing ...

    SOFT ON THE INSIDE - Andy Sheppard


    And then I found this on youtube ANDY SHEPPARD BIG BAND

    If you like melodic modern swinging big band jazz then please check this out, to say that the musicianship involved is spectacular is a bit of an understatement.

    I'm afraid it only makes me cry because it's such insipid rock, music for pre-teens IMO.

    NP : SYMPHONY # 50 'MT. ST HELENS' - Alan Hovhaness



    Starting tranquil and mystical and ending thunderously this is a great work that I would LOVE to see performed live ( some bloody hope rolleyes ), Hovhaness is probably my favourite composer of concert/program music..... sorry Copland.

    I was wondering if Tom or anyone else here know if any of his film work has ever been recorded and released? When I say films I mean in the form of documentaries, he's done a handful since 1955 ending with two documentaries about EVEREST in the 1980's, I'd love to hear this work?
