Is this one good? I've still not listened to it


I like it. Unfortunately I don't have their other albums so I can't say how it compares. From what I heard on the radio from their last album, it is in the same category. If you are a Tool/Perfect Circle fan I think you'll like it. This just has more of an ethereal feel to it. I think you may be able to listen to snippets of the tracks if you go to tower records' or Virgin's web site.

tones

Its definitely not the tones best album, but its definitely an excellent album. if you don't listen to them much give around the fur a listen. thats my personal fav. if you could preview the first three tracks from the new album you'd probably be able to tell whether or not you liked it.
 
Believe it or not

The Russian Red Army Choir's Russian Sailor's Dance, Song of the Plains and they do a cool version of Battle Hymn of the Republic upnext is Dweezil Zappa (various stuff) and the Black Watch Pipers' Flower of Scotland😎
 
Manu Chao

Interesting, different from the mainstream. Try it 😎

Re: very guilty shameful pleasure

...any more guilty pleasures out there? c'mon, i know you all listen to ABBA late at night, alone in your room with noone watching...

Late at night, yes. Listening to Abba, no, despite being
swedish. 🙂

Just listened to:
Mozart, Eine kleine Nachtmusik with VPO & Knappertsbusch,
Vienna 1940

Now listening to:
Mozart, symphony 39, Berlin State orchestra & knappertsbusch,
berlin 1929

Earlier today:
Janacek, string quartet nr 2 with the Smetana Quartet


Although, I almost only listen to classical music since long, I
must admit that when I hear Abba, and compare that to
the contemporary "noise" (no offense meant) I realize they
were actually very good. I sometimes get a feeling they were
much more appreciated internationally than here at home.
Of course they were very popular in Sweden, but I don't think
most of quite realized until much later how enormeously
popular they were in many other countries.
 
Sorry to disturb you again, but I am going through some of a
large pile of CDs I picked up at bargain price in Stockholm
yesterday, and just have to add:

Dvorak, symfoni nr 9, Czech Philharmonic & Talich, Prague 1949/50

A long time ago a favoourite of mine, that later turned boring
and unintersting is now reborn into wonderful music with a
conductor who has really understood the music. Ah, I
think czech music is for the czechs to perform and for others
just to enjoy.

BTW, what am I doing up at this time of the night? Oh, wait,
yes, I am listening to Talich. 🙂
 
Re: LEOS JANACACEK.

A Janacek fan, Christer?

Well no, but one to be, perhaps. I've heard very little Janacek
actually, but recently started to "discover" him. I had been
thinking about buying one of his operas to give it a try, but
have never come around to do it until I recently had this
chance to see Makropolus in Stockholm. The second string
quartet, that I mentioned, I recorded from radio about a year
ago and like it very much. So, I actually thought I should
follow your recommendation and buy a Supraphon with both
his string quartets when I happened to see one.


Ever listrened to his "Sinfonietta" or "Taras Bulba"?

No, there's still much to discover, but I will definitely get more
Janacek. There's just too much music in too many recordings
and too little time and money to hear it all. 🙂

BTW, I have just been cutting some Belgian canvas (for painting).
 
Just adding my random input...

Right now I'm listening to an MP3 of "3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds" by the Jefferson Airplane. This is the live version. The MP3 says it's from an album called "Loves You" but anyone who was around at the time knows that it came from a great live album called "Bless Its Pointed Little Head". I have no idea WTF this "Loves You" album is.

It makes me feel like a kid listening to it for the first time again. Really high energy, high quality stuff...
