What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005

Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.

So, what are you listening to right now?

Right now I'm listening to...

Fool's Gold from the Block

Not a bad effort featuring my favourite song of all time. Can you tell which one?!

pretty good after one listen. definately file under ambient, chill out, relaxin' while reading a book and sipping wine kinda music for the big-time Air fan. you can really hear their influences in these wide ranging selection of tunes they've chosen. Black Sabbath, The Cure, The Band, Cat Power etc. there's one real stain on the album though. "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton. WTF!!!

I am really enjoying this recording much more than the last PMG release.

Also, thanks for the reminder of the group Was not Was. I loved their sense of humor and musical chops. Great songs

A nice, meditative album even if I still prefer "Conte De L'incroyable Amour"

Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time" performed by Ensemble Walter Boeykens. This piece was written while Messiaen sat in internment camp in Silesia as a war prisoner. I think I can hear this in the work as it sounds quite bleak. For me it doesn't feel very uplifting, but definately interesting.

Lynne Arriale Trio / When You listen / dmp

In the car, in heavy rain.

For some reason, when it is wet and grey outside, the music sounds sweeter and more colorful inside.

fishski,

I just heard live last week Kayhan Kalhor playing his kamancheh at the Old Town School of Music in Chicago.

I am sure you would have enjoyed it as much as I did.

Haim

Espen,

I never have easy time with modern music, but the more I listen to end of time, the more time I feel like spending with this piece.

Reading all the info made me wonder if we are better off just listening without knowing (see the thread the story behind the music).

Even if you are not planning to get it, you owe it to yourself to listen to Brahem's 'Le Pas du Chat Noir'.

Best regards,

Haim
