I'm very eclectic so the list would be too long.

Nevertheless I've been getting into Bhangra, Hindi and Punjabi in the last few days.
Also Swedish/80's music.
JPop & JRock.
Ambient.
All that and current popular music in the radio.

How do type interests instead of instruments? :lol:


Sonic CD OST US VER. - "Star Dust Speedway (Bad Future)"

Sonic CD OST US VER. - "Star Dust Speedway (Past)"

Sonic CD OST US VER. - "Star Dust Speedway (Present)"

Sonic CD OST US VER. - "Sonic Boom (short w/vocals opening track)"


LONG LIVE SONIC CD!!!!

"Sonic Boom" is an awesome song and it comes in three flavors: short w/ vocals (used in the opening animation), regular (used for ending animation and credits. Much slower paced and differnt vocals from the opening version), instrumental (same as regular, just no vocals, duh).

This has to go down as one of the best game soundtracks ever. (IMO of course.....)

Terminator CD:

Tommy Tallarico - "Destinationz Unkown"

Awesome piano work.....


Bijan Shaheer - "Future Shock"

Good ol' 80's sounding rock....


Tommy Tallarico - "Metamorphosis"

Awesome song, it really does sound like something is changing....

Oto, you might like these songs.....

Tommy Tallarico - "Taking to the Air"

Very 80's sounding, but very good.

Brad Fiedel - "The Terminator Theme"

Reworking of the classic theme for the game. Pure goodness.

By thinking too fast :roll:

I think I've heard some of the terminator stuff before, but I'll follow that link on Demonseal if I get the chance/bandwith...

Rast Tsiftetelli - Gyspy Music Of Constantinople

Fun stuff, gypsy music with a far lean to the east is always good for me :roll:

Laughing

I'm glad it had that kind of an effect. I recommend the CD - well, that song is the best one on it, in my opinion, but if you want more of similarly-catchy hard rock/metal, the whole thing provides it in quantity and quality Wink


Nifty. Ill give it a buy. :idea:
--------------------------------------


Goldfinger- Superman


Great song. Problaby because of the influence I had back then. Its one of the songs featured in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 for N64, and I tell ya, I was hooked on that game for ages. Well anyways, thats how I guess Superman became one of my favorite songs; from all those hours of grinding, grabbing, and flipping. It holds a special memory for me. =-D
Lurid Enchantment - ICYCLOUD
urban suite - TRYTHIL
大切な思い - BAKADESHI
Expansion - RESK

...and just to confirm my suggestion there, I took a listen to it today on my commute back from the university...

Dio - Holy Diver (CD)

Yep, solid. It was even better than usual today, for some reason. It made me a happy commuter, tapping my foot to some of the best basic choruses and riffs around.

Also on the same commute -

Joe Satriani - Strange Beautiful Music (CD)

Another solid bit of rockin', though in a different direction. Shred, shred, shred. And man, does this guy know how to shred! Excellent shredding - for some reason the more unassuming stuff like 'Hill Grove' and 'Sleepwalk' stood out today (I always have trouble holding down laughter when that REALLY high sliding note comes in on the latter)

***

If you're wondering - this is an excellent illustration of how excruciatingly long my daily commute is :roll:

***

Post-commute, had dinner and went out to walk around along the Ottawa river (I live near a 90degree bend area of it also known as Lac Deschenes, a couple of miles wide. Nice sunsets - a conducive environment to music listening), and randomly grabbed some other favored listening from my menu...

...and was I ever not wrong to do that.

Peter Gabriel - Up (CD)

It hit. That's about the most accurate description I can come up with right now. And when it hit, it hit hard.

I've heard this one perhaps a dozen times before, but never quite the same way. Today I think the difference was that I made an odd exception of treating vocals as poetry rather than just another instrument while going about my usual active listening. And that really changed everything.

This one's gonna make a lasting impression on me. It's a very well-written piece of work. The music gives it an excellent, sometimes attractive and pop-like, sometimes not, texture, but the lyrics are really the centrepiece here. It's not written by a young man, and probably won't appeal to many of the younger listeners with the type of message it has. Ironically, it has a very similar underlying theme to another recent favorite album of mine - King Crimson's "The Power to Believe": 'Life is too hard. Do we give up?'. Both of these are from the perspective of men well past the half-century mark in terms of age, but they do take different musical angles, and "Up" is much broader in scope and more determined in its' resolution.

Anyways, recommended to anyone who favors active listening over passive background muzak, and doesn't mind looking at life in the context of a process that inevitable comes to certain checkpoints which must be accepted and dealt with...

Two lines of lyrics that hit me the hardest, first one just in the context that it was in (and I don't have a romanticized view of 'the end' at all, myself)

"And this all feels so absurd
To be flying like a bird
But I do not feel that
I have ended here..."

And the other one, in context and just in general, because of how in tune it is with my own personal philosophy

"Receive and transmit"

***

/end large and probably irrelevant rant I nonetheless felt obliged to write. :roll:

Weiss Kreuz - Other Side of the Moon

i just went through a pretty bad breakup, and even though we're still friends, that was 18 months of my life gone with him. This song just somehow seems to fit (and i like that they have what i think is a harpsichord playing).
Kudou Yohji is sinfully delicious.

Swedish Radio.
So it isn't exactly a song or genre but can't lie.

Aw!
I'm sorry to hear that.
Become a PIMP and get a new boyfriend (small "joke").
That's a good song.

Well as far Swedish radio in general, beats me.
But the station I listen to "radioseven", plays music in almost every genre imaginable:
Rock.
Pop.
Dance (and every sub-genre including ambient)
80's music
R&B
Some hip-hop.
Etc.
And in various languages: English, Romanian, Swedish, Etc.

Just the way I like it, eclectic.

That's also to an extent the reason I don't listen to radio.
Although instead of eclectic, I have a slightly different word for it: random.

I'm far too picky/careful with my music and when/how I listen to it, for better or worse...

Bach - Jesu Joy of Man's Desire

(I don't think comments are neccesary)

...although, as you can see, that doesn't prevent listening to a variety of stuff on occasion. :roll:

Well, if I declare it eclectic then there playing what I want. :wink:
I'm also picky with my music, obsessive even.
Most don't get my connection with music...

Don't even get me started on *my* connections to music now...

California Guitar Trio - Toccata and Fugue in D (by Bach, obviously)

Teh famous Crafties doing Bach. I don't want to describe what Crafties (graduates of the Guitar Craft seminars) sound like and how that differs from ordinary guitar, so I'll just let it slip now... :roll:

Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness - "Light of Day, Day of Darkness[/i]

You'd think a 60 minute song about trying to find Utopia within oneself, and trying to create a perfect society and failing, would be depressing. But no, it's just awesome. \m/
