No piano this morning, some music on the darker side...

For some reason that eclipsed all the excitement of the horses, but sadly I never got to meet Mr Johnson...

Simply superb.... Must be at least a decade since I last heard this...

Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Just had to click on a buy now for 99p!

So after my more critical listen on my main system. I have to say that while it has some exciting screaming solo cello moments, overall the music is not inspiring enough. Has nothing to do with the artists they are doing a great job, the music itself is not so exciting.

First time I am really listening to Muse - looks like it's not my thing...

Did you ever see the accompanying film? I remember it on Channel 4 and then coming out on video tape but have never seen it on DVD or Blu-ray. I'd like to see it again but a quick search only brings up VHS copies as well a VCD. The VCD is rather pricey, so perhaps this is another one like Kate Bush's The Whole Story with a VCD release but still waiting on a DVD or Blu-ray. I have the Kate Bush VCD and picture quality is not much better than VHS, so I'm not going too spring for the VCD of Infected.
