Hi Emeraldisle, class music, classical chillout. I love the work of Einaudi, sometimes seems perhaps a bit cliched when one hears it on the radio and in adverts so much. But it deserves to be played - 'the waves' is a work of art.

Hello,

Have not really gone much into the music purchasing stakes recently. Have a fairly decent collection of classical chillout cds. Tad boring I know. One of my favourite contemporary pianists would be the Italian Ludovico Einaudi. Like also groups like IL Divo, Blake, soloists Mathew Ansell, Cortes, etc.

New version of the A Ha track the sun never shines on Ireland, as opposed to the sun never shines on Tv.

Tipping it down here at the mo.

As far as Pianists go, you can't go far wrong with Debussy

[deltawhisky]

Absolutely, bigbarney - and Satie as well, if you're in a thinking mood with a stick burning slowly!

I thought this was a great read regarding arguably one of the most important composers of the 20th century Karlheinz Stochausen and Richard James AKA Aphex Twin.

Stockhausen was given a bunch of tapes from different artists and included in these tapes was an Aphex Twin cut.
Stockhausen Listened to the tape and this is what he had to say " on the record "
It reads;

I heard the piece Aphex Twin of Richard James carefully: I think it would be very helpful if he listens to my work "Song of the Youth," which is electronic music, and a young boy's voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it [was] varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations.

Aphex Twin responded: "I thought he should listen to a couple of tracks of mine: 'Didgeridoo,' then he'd stop making abstract, random patterns you can't dance to".^[

Just thought I'd add it to the post because its not everyday a Great composer and an Acid Techno Keyboardist get into a tit for tat.

Brilliant, Mr Moore!

I'm listening properly to the Thom Yorke mp3s from the Latitude festival that Lascaux sent through.

Thank you, Sir. I love them, and so does my missus.

They are pretty melancholy, and I love the space in his piano work on these tracks.

He is wailing a bit less than normal which is a fine thing.

He's also having a joke with the crowd! I don't follow his thoughts in print. I assumed he was a bit humourless.
