    NP: BROWN ALBUM (Orbital)

    Early Orbital is a little too crude and lean for my taste (this is their second album from 1993), so I don't play it all that often.
    I am extremely serious.

    Nothing like a little more Waxman for me. This time it is his orchestral version of Carmen for orchestra and violin.

    NP: FEELING WEIRD (The Infinity Project)

    Goa/psytrance pioneers who basically introduced the concept to the London underground in the 90's after it had been at Goa for a few years. Great, dark beats, but perhaps a bit intense at times.
    I am extremely serious.

    Kazuhito Yamashita: Dvorak's Symphony no. 9 ("Of The New World") ...on solo classical guitar.
    shocked

    My god.
    This is amazing. Outstanding!
    He makes the guitar sound like four or five guitars playing simultaneously!
    And the arrangement is absolutely gorgeous!

    Sadly, SADLY, SADLY there appears to be no registration of any of his performances of this piece on YouTube. I would have LOVED to share this mastery of the guitar!
    (There are some clips out there featuring his arrangement, but none of the perfomances comes close to the sheer wizardry of this artist. I know some critics accuse him of "gimmickry". I say, if this be gimmickry, KEEP your precious concepts of art. In the famous words of the Dutch painter Mondriaan: "Art must be forgotten. Beauty must be realised!").

    D'INDY SYMPHONY ON A FRENCH MOUNTAIN AIR

    A very under appreciated work who composed at the same time as Debussy and Ravel did but never got the exposure he deserved at least not in this country.

    I listened to this for the first time recently Tom, I honestly don't know if I like it or not? It's certainly worth another listen.

    NP : APPALACHIA - Frederick Delius



    Another great of English music.

    I have to find it.

    Generally thanks to you I discovered a lot of Vaughan Williams and I really love his music. I have certain really serious gaps in my classical music (mainly Classical in the historical sense), which I will make up to very soon.

  17. NP: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis, 1974

    When Genesis was still Genesis. One of the greatest concept albums ever!

    NP: Three Friends - Gentle Giant, 1972

    Incredible Album, the final 3 Minutes are simply transcendental.

    Good night and good luck!

    LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY is indeed a prog classic, Volker. I'm not as big a fan of Genesis and Gentle Giant as I am other prog acts, but they belong in the general area of my preference.

    NP: SMILE (Brian Wilson)

    Very sophisticated and at times very complex....you can tell Wilson was trying to stretch the limits with this one.

    Whatever they say, I love the 2003 master recording.

    I like it a lot too, I'll always prefer the original but then I had been used to it for so many years. I also love the orchestral version conducted by David Bedford.

  24. NP: Generation JMJ - Electronalin

    I creates this sound exclusively with freeware DAW and VSTs. Quite impressive IMHO.

    A bit of that I can do with my own hardware setup: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mw10ehwcliaxm … 0setup.JPG

  25. NP: Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra - Synergy (Larry Fast), 1975

    The US-American electronica scene of the 70s was - Larry Fast and Brian Eno aside - practically non existand. Yet those two save the day: This album is fantastic!

    Preludes and Etudes - Rachmaninoff

    Haven't listened to these in a while. For all of my knowledge of classical piano rep, I don't really know these pieces all that well and I'm planning on rectifying that.

  30. VIVALDI - THE FOUR SEASONS (Recomposed by Max Richter)

    I like it! THE FOUR SEASONS is so timeless, so I was curious to see what he would do to it. I'm glad it didn't end up being some dance club remix of Vivaldi. It seems like Richter was really trying to deconstruct a lot of this and build it again from scratch using the same ingredients. It's funny how little some of the recompositions sound like the original (the Spring section wasn't much like the original at all), and how much other parts quoted the original directly.

    I enjoyed it quite a bit overall, but I do have a couple of gripes. In some cases the more modern harmonies applied to it seemed too simple to me, and like a cheapening of something that was originally much more complex. Also, since the 2nd mvt. of Winter is one of my favorite piece of music, anyone who touches it will invariably disappoint me. I'm not sure there is any improving on that piece in my eyes. One last complaint: I know the original so well that hearing something very close to it, but not quite it was sort of jarring at times. The first mvt. of Winter had some notes removed through a particular section that I found irritating.

    Now with all that complaining it may sound like I didn't like, but I really did! I think it will reward repeated listens and be a welcome change from Vivaldi's original from time to time. I highly recommend it.
