Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

san Guine, thanks for putting those up. I don't know many people of our ilk who like classical music but I adore it.

Dude put up a Don McLean song a whiles back saying it was the most beautiful song ever written. This is my winner for the most beautiful song ever written. There's a reason Mozart was the shit. The guy was a genius. Probs one of the most well known pieces of classical music too.

Soothing, Wolfgangs lifetime dedication to his craft. And with a name like Wolfgang you'd have be a genius too.

I may be wrong but legend has it this song came to him in a dream and he wrote it down, note for note, the next day. Sounds far fetched but the story kinda ties in nicely with such a dreamy composition.

You should check out John Zorn Zen.
He writes lots of different genres. Including classical.
The albumn Nosferatu would be a good start. Or maybe The Concealed.

Pink Floyd classic Shine on you Crazy Diamond is dedicated to Syd Barrett.
tbb has not read of the following but believes this concert transcended Syd to Nirvana.

1965 Many in Syd's Trip out circle converted to Sikhism...

7th July 2006 Syd Dies...after a respecting Sikh Darma 49 days ends 2nd stage Bardo Rebirthing period
https://www.joincake.com/blog/49-days-after-death-buddhism/

After 49 days...loved ones or band must sing or pray to navigate Syd towards enlightenment. (Easy!)
This magic hour Concert channels the ultimate power boost & optimum time for Syd to reach the Light.
https://www.joincake.com/blog/49-days-after-death-buddhism/

26th Aug 2006 Pink Floyd transcend Syd's Soul by channelling Nirvana with their Ghostly Fiddle.

Why this Haunting Ghost Fiddle...tbb...
Ok! Busted! tbb was actually researching the Orchestration of Wave Acoustics~ Surfing musical notes.
Surfing yer own soundtrack for wave pool disco sounds more believable tbb...'OMG...Please stop him!'

The crew know this makes sense as Syd's swansong was originally recorded with this Ghostly Fiddle.
Syd was toasted in a VIP interstellar overdrive Limo to Rock'n'Roll Nirvana...(Believe it or not!)
tbb lays claim to outing Syd's ultimate Trip out... (Ben's tunesmith's death wish!)

Here's Syd's interstellar overdrive re-birthing booster sequence to Nirvana...exclusive to swellnet.

Good to hear SG. Kim Salmon - an underrated Aussie music legend (among many others).

Hey Zen, been meaning to comment on your earlier post re Mozart. He was pretty much the sound track to my childhood, I don't think I heard any "pop" music until I was >12 years old. A bit of a best of compilation... close your eyes and experience the beauty of his musical genius.

The brilliant Mark Rothko and his links to Mozart

zenagain Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 8:39pm

Nice link Guy, cheers. Have to confess I've never heard of Rothko but his work is beautiful and I like the comparison between him and Mozart. I leave a little more educated for that.

SG, I used to wake up to classical music wafting through the house from as young as I could remember. My father had heaps of vinyl of the classics. Like me he said he couldn't tell you the composer, he just liked the sound of it. I remember a school excursion when I was about 8. We went to see the Melbourne Philharmonic play the Nutcracker. While most everybody was just mucking up, I sat there almost in tears, my heart brimming in awe of that beautiful music. Marrying a classical pianist has been a bonus for me. I've said it a million times but one of my favourite things on earth is drifting off on the couch while my darling is tinkling away in the background.

Cheers for the link- I actually play that one as BGM in the lobby of my business.

Also above, all good versions of Let there be Rock, but have to give it to the original. They're just so bloody tight.
