This might not be on my playlist if I’m honest

It should be on everyone's playlist, it's breathtakingly beautiful

Gregorio Allegri's Miserere Mei, Deus Tenebrae - Tenebrae Choir

It should be on everyone's playlist, it's breathtakingly beautiful

An old favorite.

The YouTube video Ogg pointed out has the solo sung by a woman. There's also a recording (I don't recall by whom) with the solo sung by a young boy. Spine-chilling.

Oh it most surely is. And Tenebrae are real experts.

Masters of Illusion

Magenta

brand new from the UK. Six songs paying homage to horror movie icons - Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Lon Chaney Jr., Ingrid Pitt, and Peter Cushing.
Beautifully done. Christina Booth's vocals and Christopher Fry's guitar are gorgeous.

Kansas - The Absence of Presence

Granted, my knowledge of Kansas starts and ends with "Carry On Wayward Son", but after seeing the thumbs-ups my fellow music heads gave this album, I gave it a listen. I didn't regret that. Very well played and especially nice mix. Feelgood music.
