Music is something I haven't seen discussed a lot on this forum and it is about time I changed that. I myself am a classically trained pianist and was introduced to music at a very early age.
I also worked in recording studio in Liverpool where I started at the bottom being a tape opp. and worked my way up to become the studios main sound engineer. I've done demos in the past for Cast, Space and Ian McCulloch (Echo and the Bunymen) to name but a few and I've helped engineer/mix and produce dozens of others. That part of my life was very hedonistic and I lost the plot more than a few times I can tell you!!. I ended up selling a lot of my own keyboards and samplers a long time ago when I was in need of beer and drugs but I still remember them days being a part of the Liverpool music scene and it is something I will never regret.
Anyway being passionate about all kinds of music I've listed a few of my favourite bands, tunes videos etc that I either simply enjoy listening to or hold some sentimentality. I hope you'll join me in a trip down memory lane with your own lists etc. I do run Limewire on my PC as well so It would be interesting to download some of your suggestions as well.
Classical pieces: Pachelbel's canon in D major. Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No.1. Beethoven's sonata in C# minor (Moonlight Sonata). Chopin's Nocturnes (especially No.8)
Chill-Out music Cafe del mar series, Jose Padilla and other Ibiza chill out series, Four 80 East,
Easy Listening Clannad, Enya, Nat King Cole, Cocteau Twins, James Blunt, Bob Dylan, Sandy Denny, David Gilmour, Lemonjelly,
Soul Music Marvin Gaye, Isley Brothers, Remy Shand, Erykah Badu, Black Science Orchestra,
Hip Hop Dead Prez, The Game, Dizzy Rascal, Ill Al Scratch, Damion Jnr Gong, Massive Attack,
Reggae/dub The Bush Chemists, Zion Train, Jah Shakka, The Revolutionary Dub Warriors, Matisyahu, Dread Zone, Lee Scratch Perry, Bob Marley, Black Uhuru,
Heavy stuff Hawkwind, Led Zeppelin, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Jane's Addiction, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, Asian dub foundation, Santana,
Funky Stuff Galliano, Morcheeba, Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies, Stereo MC's,
Spacey Stuff Ozric Tentacles, Gong, Pink Floyd,
Dance Music Mainly Techno, Goa trance, and drum and bass, Listening to 'Pendulum' a lot at the moment.
OK I'll probably edit and add more later!!
The Cocteau Twins will always win hands down when I'm feeling melancholic but Keane and Richard Ashcroft are also favourites.
Moby's track "God moving over the face of the waters" at the end of the Movie HEAT was really powerful stuff.
Phil Collins "One more night" and Wham's "Last christmas" reminds me off splits with girlfriends when I was a teenager!!
All about Eve "Flowers in our hair" reminds me of when I used to spend months on end living at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.
Linkin Park "Breaking the Habit" Great tune and video that I have on my PC that I was listening to a lot when I gave up drink!
Too many others as well that would literally take me ages to add but I hope I've started the ball rolling with this one!!! I just love talking about and listening to music and I think I would kill myself if I went totally deaf!!!
Love and Happiness
Hippie
