Powerful music

[warped one]

What music makes you sit back for a minute and think?

Maybe it's my old age and hair loss setting in but i'm strting to move back from heavy rock, and hardcore dance and more into Classical and Jazz.

Here's my contribution.

It's tangled in a Bill Hicks vid but still good. (So's the vid)

And as always: Samual Barber - Adagio for Strings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRMz8fKkG2g

Adagio, has to be the all time greatest piece of music ever written, and to me has to be the most fitting music for the Vietnam War.
Why?
Purely for the raw emotion that it gives off, and the way it makes you feel like you were there when you see th pictures and news clips.

Be careful calling it Adagio, as that is a style rather than a specific piece. Look up the following:

Ave Maria

Moonlight sonata
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2cFEHM9yMw

Beethovens 5th
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhcR1ZS2hVo

1812 overture
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2W1Wi2U9sQ

Dance of the goblins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUTHbvoXE74

Cavatina
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwvDon1_iKs

I could go on but there is a bit of a mix there and hopefully something you don't know and like.

it`s a funny old thing? how you sometimes look to the past.

i`ve been spending a bit of time lately, listening to early Brian Eno stuff like "baby`s on fire" and that brilliant guitar work with Robert Fripp, or some gentle music that to me has some "power" about it, for example Brian Eno`s "Ascent"

or have i lost the thread??

Dont know why, but the 2nd one especially makes me sit back and think

All of these links are to absolutely amazing music.

How can a bunch of notes be transforming into something so perfect yet also be destroyed in some god awful crap?

Never been one for actually listening to lyrics, I've always been more moved by the actual music and melodies of the vocal lines and how they mix with the rest of the music.

I find I'm increasingly being moved by stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhHKfSFGdUI - Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home

The way it starts out as one man and a piano then builds into a massive piece is incredible, I had this on loop for about a month when I first got it.

Barber's Adagio for strings, makes me think of Homeworld a computer game that uses it for a sound track.

I played this game the other day, and while most games are off there time and look dated now, this one still somehow has the same impact and is only slightly dated.

I also quite like William Orbit's Adagio for strings - dance remix of the original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRqndwCqa5g

sounds slightly dated now, but still good

The next link isnt classical, but is a bit dreamy in a similar way, so worth a listen.

When it comes to in your face slightly cheesey thumping trance Ferry is the best there is. Tiesto does some good chilled stuff but it is good to hear a good thumping track from him now and then

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y15gQfRDM9A

Forever today, awesome mix of trance with some classical style strings.
Hunting for that video turned up another gem i'd forgotten about. Faithless singer + tiesto =

I have Super Ape, although my fave LP of Scratch's is probably Blackboard Jungle.
Best reggae tune of ever is without doubt Tubby's dub of Jacob Miller's cut of 'Baby I love you so', King Tubby meets Rockers Uptown - incidentally the 1st roots/dub LP i ever got.

Mozart's Requiem never fails to move me, but not always to tears; although I don't have a religious bone in my body, the fact that we all inevitably face death means that this mass still has some significance in my life.

It's such a beautiful work filled with pathos, and when you consider he wrote it as he was dying and it ended up being his own requiem, well wow! my spine's tingling just thinking about it. The first two movements (linked) were probably written in their entirety by him, though later movements were probably finished by his students and Süssmayr (one of his "peers"), but none-the-less it is imho still a fantastic piece of music.
