It may be a bit late now Martin but the one to go for is the original A&M recording. It's the 1991 A&M CD, John. I'll let you know when I've got it. |

Today music has been saving my soul from desending into the depths of endless terminal boredom have coding new web pages and I swear you could have more fun at a Mormon's wake.
Also running in some new speaker models so.
Anyhow:-
Today a very diverse mix of tunes though no prelude and fugues at the moment!
lastly a little indulgence

Anita Lipnicka - Hard Land of Wonder
Attention Tim! You might want to give this a try - she's a rather wonderful Polish singer. The album is on Spotify. |

There's also a classical Board here, Gordon. Aha, so there is. Being really, really picky (as if) Bach ain't classical is it? Play Bach is certainly Jazz. Perhaps we should have a dozen or so sections for the geeks amongst us. Then again, its probably fine just as it is. I'll go back to plastering the lounge walls now then  |

Tricky. We've already had the debate on film scores. And what do you do with Tomita?

OK I looked him up and had heard the name but have never listened to it so I wouldn't know its classical pretensions from its avante garde ones. Perhaps the simplest way is just a 'what are you listening to right now no matter what genre it is' type section!! To me, its all music. I listen across a fairly broad spectrum (not as far as Tomita obviously, or Madonna or C&W or C Rap or Prog Rock (!) or.....) so it just depends on mood which one I dip into. (or into which I dip) If there is one I put above all others, its jazz. But then that sort of encompasses Baroque and anything syncopated so Bach to back. |

It's not easy to differentiate genres these days. Popular Classical / Film Scores is as much pop as classical. If it's popular it's 'pop'. I note we don't differentiate for Jazz or Blues. Should Classical be elevated to it's own section of superiority?

That's almost what we did - just splitting music into two genres. We don't want to go more granular as we recognise that genres cause arguments and can be reason to ignore a whole raft of music that you otherwise might like. If you get your 'playing now' in the wrong one, it doesn't really matter  |

You feeling ok, Tim? I love the songs, although the production is a bit iffy. Well to have an opinion you need to hear something to evaluate it  but . . dreadful, absolutely dreadful - probably one of the most over hyper talentless biffers out there to be honest. Can't sing and can't write, just dreadful . . . a wall of meaningless noise with a wailing banshee overlaid and massively over produced . . . dreadful. I won't be playing it again that's for sure - I thought her first album was bad, but she's really out done herself with this one! |

We will have to continue to disagree over LDR, Tim. I don't see her like that at all. I think the songs are very downbeat, minor key, street-life oriented but well written with plenty of hooks and I think her low pitch register matches them perfectly. I've heard plenty of talentless singers and she isn't one of them. Each to their own and it would be a boring place if we all liked the same music |

Come on Tim, don't sit on the fence now - tell us what you really think! |
