Kevin’s approach to electronic music has always been so enticing to me :

Possibly my favorite piece of music ever:

…lots of fairlight in there too for the nerds.

I first thought it was a sped up version of " Nirvana - Come As You Are"

EDIT : and I hadn’t even read this

This was one of my favs. to spin back when I DJed.

Heard this song live last night.

Bloodbat · October 12, 2024, 6:28am

Cool! This is among the last songs I saw live.

Reminded me of this tune straight away, so similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNVovaTUMT8

Amazing.

For those of us intimately familiar with this piece - this is incredible! And they made it sound good too. The human voice truly knows no bounds.

Think it should read Giggy instead of Giggly, but either way, great track!

There I was, copying most of my iTunes library from my Mac mini to my MacBook Pro, and I had to stop and listen to the “Agnus Dei” from Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem. I had the good fortune to hear it performed live at a local church with a pipe organ, a community choir, and the Tesla Quartet.

There are some pieces of music that I find to be “transporting”, in the sense that upon hearing it you are mentally transported completely out of your surroundings. This is one of them.

I particularly like the part that starts around 01:35, then at 02:16 everybody shuts up except for the sopranos (?), then at 02:23 the rest of the choir comes back with this beautiful descending sequence.

Also when they hand it off to the organ and strings at 03:35.

I have the same reaction to Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major - Adagio assai, notably the sustained note at around 17:15 when the english horn winds up its solo and it’s picked up by the flute. [edit - Shoot. It’s blocked, so you have to click on the link to hear it on Youtube. I’m keeping it because I like Martha Argerich’s interpretation of it.]

It’s not just classical music that can transport me. REM’s Shiny Happy People does it too.
