J. S. Bach: Brandenburg Concertos

Academy of Ancient Music with Christopher Hogwood

I don't usually post the classical music I listen to.

My favorites are piano concertos, and I enjoy several YouTube posts of solo piano performances. In fact for the last 3 days I've had an earworm of the Flower Dance by D J Owakari

Hogwood's Brandenburg Concertos and his Vivaldi's Four Seasons get regular playing from me. I enjoy classical works, generally the classic composers and more often chamber rather than symphony.

I'm more symphony than chamber

As a teenager, my little secret (I was too "cool" to tell my friends ) was that I had season tickets for the local symphonic orchestra performances. LOL

You remind me of a recent interview I watched with Stewart Copeland. He mentioned during the height of his Police fame that he felt he was too cool to mention he had been in a prog band. Now that prog is cool he is like "I was in a prog band dammit, with my hair down to here and boots up to here."

The Art of Losing

The Anchoress

New album released today and it is glorious. I adore her music.

The Art of Losing

The Anchoress

New album released today and it is glorious. I adore her music.

What genre, generally speaking, is this? Marked for investigation regardless.

It's Friday and most record labels I'm subscribed to on Youtube have put out new stuff. Three things I found cool/interesting/would listen to again:

The Crown - Scandinavian Satan
https://youtu.be/jAp-CBkwlNM

There's nothing fancy about this track (and the rest of the album). It's controlled hammer blows to the face or the gut and I FUCKING love it. The Crown can blast with the best of them, but this has more of an extreme punk vibe. Plus the singer sounds amazingly natural despite puking his bowels out. Me and my inner fourteen-year-old are headbanging as one.

White Void - There's No Freedom But The End
https://youtu.be/QypQrrzBZJE

Great song, wrong video. This looks like a synthpop video but the track is anything but. I get early '80s goth vibes from it, somewhere in the Grave Pleasures neighborhood. Interesting voice work. Had my undivided attention.

Rob Zombie - Crow Killer Blues
https://youtu.be/awvd0AGpvuE

I liked some of the White Zombie songs and Hellbilly Deluxe is one of the few good things to come out of the early 2000's alterna/electro metal scene (IMHO). I haven't waited with bated breath for a new Rob Zombie record, but hearing this song brought me back to long nights at the office cranking out SQL code for my then taskmasters. Not bad, but I'm not sure if I want to revisit these memories.

The Anchoress is a Welsh singer who comes across like Tori Amos and Kate Bush but still uniquely herself.

She used to play guitar/keyboards and sing for Simple Minds when they were touring in the mid 2010s.

I really like her stuff. Art of Losing is her second album but she also does interesting remixes and acoustic versions of her stuff. I am a fan.

That are two, no, three names I can get behind. I like Tori, I LOVE Kate and the Simple Minds are pretty cool too. Will give it a listen once Dani gets off her audio book. Until then...

The Eden House - Timeflows (EP)
Brit goth rock with a rotating cast of female vocalists. Basically a "who's who" of Britain's (goth) rock scene. I first heard about them when researching the whereabouts of All About Eve, one of my favourite guilty pleasures and I learned that AaE's singer Julianne Regan worked with them and became seriously interested when I learned that a lot of former Fields of the Nephilim musicians were involved. Fields is my #1 favourite goth band, easily eclipsing both The Mission and The Sisters Of Mercy, so I had to get in. I have pretty much everything The Eden House have put out and didn't regret a single purchase, even though everything from "Half-Life" onwards is a experimental journey. But constantly rehashing Fields riffs isn't fun in the long run either, so I'm totally okay with experiments.

White Void - Anti (album)

Heh, good hunch. This is quite the refreshing mix of hardrock, electronica, blues and pop. A lot of quirky arrangements and odd, yet fascinating vocals. Might be something for you, @litfan & @haulover. Has people from Borknagar and Ihsahn's band in it. My general idea about '80s goth was far off the mark, at least for the remainder of the album. The sound IS retro to an extent, I hear a lot of classic rock in the guitars, but there is an underlying layer of cool electronica in it which moves it into its own funky space-time continuum.

The Anchoress - The Art Of Losing

Oooh, interesting timbre! Five songs in and I'm loving it. A lovely record! Hm, the title track sounds familiar. Is that a cover?

I believe it is all original compositions that she wrote.

I won't doubt it, but the "situations like these" phrasing and how she holds the notes reminds me of something by Depeche Mode, if I'm not mistaken. Aaaaanyway, I'm through the album and I really, really like it. It's not as dissonant as some Tori Amos stuff and I enjoy her particular delivery. Nice. Thanks for the recommendation!

Edit: "Shake The Disease". Not a cover.

Beethoven; 3rd Symphony. Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orch.
I think this version is a bit 'quick' but it's OK.

 

[Lori_the_Hoosier]

The Flower Duet - Delibes

Actually, Will is listening to it, it's his happy place, but we have 'strordinarily good acoustics here and the whole house is full of it, so I'm listening by default. Still outrageously beautiful though...
