Elton John ~ Don't Go Breaking My Heart (duet with Kiki Dee)

The year was 1976...
Elton was still hip and disco was alive.
Almost thirty years later the song's still fun to listen to.
Then again I don't normally listen to this type of music.
It's all because of the radio. :roll:

Muse - Time Is Running Out

Weird song in general...

But the below verse is played just amazingly well:

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

I just love the melody on this part of the verse. Feels very powerful.

Then it goes:

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out


Which drops the song back to a mediocre melody.

The song is enjoyable, but I get tired of some beats/melody in the song. The verse explained above is pretty much what makes the song good.
Let's just say something I can't listen to in loop.

Sunburn is one of the best definately, but I've always been partial to "Plugin Baby" and "Butterflies and Hurricans" because of their rock-ified-classicalness.

Anywah,

Led Zeppelin - "Whole Lotta Love (Live from How The West Was Won)"

This DAZZLING 23min version with 5 blues songs in the middle and tons of improvinisation is Led Zeppelin at their very best.
I'm bored and you're dumb. A match made in heaven.

I thought that was a joke, the first time I heard it. Then I heard The Chosen Ones and realised that they actually sound like this on purpose.

King Crimson - C Blasticum (video)

I finally matched up this improv's title with my DVD (which I ripped a little while ago, though quickly matching up the track names proved difficult).

The usual ProjeKctivized goodness.

Copeland - California

Beautiful vocals.
Soft slow song, and soothing.
I really love Copeland's vocals, it's just amazing.

Ack! Forogt to mention a few other things.

The song is slow and soothing in the beginning, and then
in the end, bursts into a powerful strong finish with strong solid guitar riffs.
This finishes the song really strongly, giving me a feeling of inspiration.

John Wetton - Easy Money (live in Tokyo, 1997)

It's actually alright-sounding, though the musical setting seems to be skewed in a slightly more unfavourable direction; there's no instability, unexpectedness, or much emotion - just shiny stuff.
At least he's sober.

Now, back in...

King Crimson - Easy Money (live in Providence, 1974)

Now we're talking. The classic band's second-to-last show. Starts off in an expected blues-y song fashion; but you already get hints of the tension and energy in Fripp's guitar passages.

Come the instrumental section, things really go out of control. The way I like it.

Robert Fripp and David Sylvian - Firepower

Sorry, sorry, I'm back to spamming the thread up with them again.

I'm detecting a very interesting pattern on 'The First Day' (album) now - there are at least 3 songs that, rather than following a typical song structure, start with fractured-rhythm-and-vocal-poetry-based 2-3 minutes, and then move into an overwhelmingly texturist 3-10 minutes of abstract instrumentals. Pattern though it may, I find this approach to songwriting absolutely incredible. First you're assaulted with a more 'hookable', if still very odd, song, and then you get this amazing rhythmical soundscape develop. In fact, another track, 'Darshan', drops the song part entirely and delves into 17 (!) minutes of pure texturism.

I honestly can't say I've heard another album like this. It would be impossible to make an AMV to directly relate the sense that most of these songs give ('Firepower', '20th Century Dreaming' and 'Darshan', and to a lesser extent 'Brightness Falls'; not to mention the completely un-doable 'Bringing Down The Light').
But this is increasingly edging it's way upward on my favorite albums list.

In fact, shockingly enough, I may soon find KC albums left for lesser spots as 'The First Day' and its' live successor 'Damage' (the only official releases by Fripp+Sylvian, unfortunately) compete for top spots.

Odd, huh :roll:

Cruachan - Spancill Hill

I just got Folk Lore, and despite Shane MacGowan's quality work on "Ride On", this track really jumped out at me as a fave from the album. It's a big departure from their normal style, not in being a fairly straight arrangement of a traditional piece, but in that it's a lot slower and more Primordial-sounding than their usual vibe, which is uptempo and full of a lot of whistles and high reeds.

Even already I've programmed the CD-player to skip past "Children of Lyr"; Cruachan's take on the legend doesn't begin to match up to Primordial's "Children of the Harvest". Besides this, though, Folk Lore is a pretty good pickup for anyone interested in what happens if you pour punk and metal into Celtic folk.

King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man (Live, Providence, 30.06.1974)

This one's off the "USA" album. Excellent stuff, though the added 'Ironman' effect on the vocals is unneccesary. Otherwise, my 2nd favorite, and best-sounding take on the song (favorite being the one played on the following day in Central Park, NYC).

Coming to the 'wall of noise in the middle' - it's downright breath-taking how the band goes from utter and total sonic chaos into steel-tight rapid rhythmic passages that just bounce off the freakin' wall.

Wow.
