    NP : LIGHT + SHADE - Mike Oldfield



    Maybe a bit too 'new worldy' for my taste but it's still a very pleasant and relaxing listen.


    I'm not familiar with this one, but I see that it's recent (2005); does the balance tip toward electronic or acoustic instruments?


    It's more towards electronic but there's plenty of accoustic too including the trade mark Oldfield guitar sound.

    HOOVERPHONIC with orchestra

    Forget friggin Adele on Skyfall and listen to how proper songs with orchestra should sound like. There are some songs in here that could easily take the skyfall lyrics and be a mile better.

    These guys are BRILLIANT! Here's one of my favourites from an earlier album, it's very Bond-like.

    Here's another act that would have done a great Bond theme, Alison Goldfrapp also has a magnificent voice.

    Tim, thanks for those! Have you heard their 'with orchestra' album? Very, very bond-like and absolutely great, each and every one of the songs!

    I listened to a few tracks on YT, I liked everything I heard but wanted to single out this track with a very 1960's John Barry vibe to it....

  8. Away from film music i like to listen to classic electronica ca 1974-1990. (Vangelis, Jarre, Kitaro, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Synergy, Tomita ...)
    I also am a sucker for progressive and semi-progressive Rock. My all time favourite Band is Barclay James Harvest. (Also Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, EL&P, Mike Oldfield, Mike Batt, Van der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, The Alan Parsons Project ...)

    NP: The Best of Nova
    Nova is a dutch synth project, that had a domestic No. 1 Hit in 1982 with "Aurora". Pleasant light synth music.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    You're in good company at this thread Captain, There's a few fans of many of the acts you've mentioned there including myself. What I enjoy about this thread is not only the mutual appreciation of classical, rock, pop, jazz, electronica etc but that there are those occasional times when someone plays something you've never heard before, it may not always be my 'cup-of-tea' but when it's a new exciting find it's surely worth it.

    Hey Thor and Volker, have you ever heard of...

    TONTO'S EXPANDING HEAD BAND ?

    This is from their 1971 album Zero Time, I always thought it sounding very Science-fictiony, very BBC or Italian horror movie-like?

    They worked with some big acts back in the day, including Weather Report, Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones.

    EDIT: Was this used for some British science program........Alan??

    Can't say that I have. Sound's intersting , though. Very relaxed.
    They used to play a show at the planetarium in Bochum (Witch isn't very far from where I live.) playing such music and other electronica. I loved it!

    After performing it myself this weekend. I keep going back to it on itunes.

    The Queen Sympony done by Tolga Kashif

    Movement 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4quVMZu4HlM

    Check it out if you do not know it. It is a full length symphony based on the melodies of famouse Queen songs.

  18. "Body Love II" by Klaus Schulze. IMHO opinion one of his best works. This is great background music when correcting tests.

    "Force Majeur" by Tangerine Dream. Also one of their best works.

    If time allows again Klaus Schulze: "Nibelungen", the bonus track from "Rheingold".

    I'd forgotten all about Klaus Schulze, I had some of his albums back in the late 70's early 80's ( he has loads of albums, as you probably know, he is prolific ).

    Which is a bit of a problem. Schulze has a cult following that enables him to release everything he ever records. You have to find out what is really worth the money. I own 11 albums, mostly stuff from the 70s and 80s. That kind of ambient music is a bit of an aqired taste and this part of my collection probabaly won't get much bigger. But I like what I have.

    I only have 4 albums but I haven't played them for a long long time, I should give them a listen. In the meantime it did remind me that I have some Kitaro albums and am playing Silk Road Vol.1 right now.

    Ambient:

    Kitaro: "Silk Road I+II"; "Live in Asia"; "Best of"

    Ash Ra Temple: "New Age of Earth"

    And of cause two albums by the master of ambient, Brian Eno: "Apollo - Soundtracks and Atmospheres" (For all Mankind) spin and "Ambient 1 - Music for Airports".

    Klaus Schulze:

    "Timewind"
    "Picture Music"
    "Dune"
    "Body Love I"
    "Body Love II"
    "Moondawn"
    "Irrlicht"
    "En=Trance"
    "Are You Sequenced?"
    "Kontinuum"
    "The Essential 72-93"

    Non-ambient electronica:

    Jean Michel Jarre: All the regular studio albums form "Oxygene" onwards.

    Vangelis: All that was in reach so far, more than 30 CDs.

    Tomita: "Kosmos", "Pictures at an Exhibition", "The Planets", "Snow Flakes are Dancing"

    Wendy Carlos: "Tron", "Switched on Bach"

    Kraftwerk: "Autobahn"; "Tour de France", "Die Mensch Maschine" and "The Mix"

    And quite a number of albums by other artists like Gandalf, Nova, Synergy, Space (Magic Fly !!), ...

    I love good old electronica, but I stopped caring, when techno became big. Not my cup of tea.

    Cheers!
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  23. Oh, and I forgot Tangerine Dream:

    Phaedra, Rubicon, Stratosfear, Ricochet, Encore, Force Majeur, Tangram, Exit, White Eagle, Logos, Hyperborea, Destination Berlin, Alpha Centauri, Atem, Zeit
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    he is one of my favourite conductors too ( it always depends on whose music the particular conducter specialises in ), I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Karajan recording.

    I'm crap at explaining these things Alan, it's just that when you get a conductor who has a "feel" for their subject ( insert composer name ) it comes across in the performance. Maybe someone like Tom can explain it better?

  28. I don't tend to listen to different versions of classical pieces. So, I don't compare performances, etc much.

    I have multiple versions of favourite works, particularly the likes of Vaughan Williams, Prokofiev, Shostakovitch, Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel and many more, in the case of THE PLANETS I have at least 10 different versions, I don't think any of that qualifies me for saying whose version is best but I can certainly decide for myself whose performances I prefer.

    Having a favorite conductor is somewhat like having a favorite comic book artist in a literal way. It's like choosing between the John Romita Jr version of Batman vs Jim Lee's version or Frank Miller's version.

    EDIT... I happen to like Karajan's take on The Planets and Requiem and some other ones. Leonard Bernstein another favorite, with his seemingly propensity toward a pronounced brass section.
