Maybe be its just me, but the dance music of Tielman Susato (below) and Michael Praetorius (further below) are almost disco mixed with fusion and trance. OK, sort of. If you squint. A lot.

Philip Picket and The New London Consort recorded a couple of ace CDs on L'Oiseau-Lyre.

Nick, I totally understand where you are coming from and sometimes it does not take too much squinting either. When I listened to Bella Domna http://www.hyperion-records.co...=D_CDH55207 The medieval woman, lover, poet, patroness) despite it being some eight hundred years old,the stripped back, raw emotion and the way in which it was written then (and recorded 30 years ago) just almost at times felt like it could have been a modern piece, quite extraordinary. Certainly it made an instant connection with me as listened to it I reading the translated lyrics of the ancient Spanish. But we best not get this thread any further off topic.
