Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

Ravel Rapsodie Espagnole....courtesy of JohnK.
Many thanks.
Any other "essential" suggestions would be most welcome.
I'll offer Mahler Symphony No.3 as performed by the New York PO under Bernstein in return.

/Jack

Tonight's list is the following:

Blackfield
Dream Theater
Bozzio, Levin, Stevens
Buckethead

I'll probably watch some Monty Python later.

my wife had to go up to the college to set-up a lab for tomorrow, so i had the rare opportunity to play some tunes.

started with the SACD of Holst's, 'the planets', that i got for christmas. then moved to a few tracks from norah jones 'come away with me'. and finished it off with an old vinyl of Taj Mahal. his most recent stuff is more slow, southern heat blues, but the earlier recordings has some kick to it.

Tonight it's Doro. CD is Calling The Wild. After that I feel like having an 80's flashback and have Accept on deck!

get ya balls to the wall, man!!!

bigjohn

Everybody sing it now.....................

BALLS TO THE WALL

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves - going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - balls to the wall

You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them, too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all

One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make you drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces

Chorus

Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
Let's plug a bomb in everyone's arse
If they don't keep us alive - we're gonna fight for the right

Build a wall with the bodies of the dead - and you're saved
Make the world scared - come on, show me the sign of victory
Sign of victory - sign of victory

Jack, glad that you enjoyed the Ravel and other earlier suggestions. Since you liked the Dvorak Slavonic Dances, you'd also want the Brahms Hungarian Danceswhose success(financial as well as artistic) inspired Dvorak and his publisher. Staying with a dance theme, a nice collection of Strauss waltzes and polkas is found in Best of Vienna . Respighi's colorful Roman tone poems are done very well by Batiz . Likewise, his recording of Scheherazade is excellent. The Rimsky-Korsakov Suites should be added. Ma Vlast is one of my favorites(I have six). Gliere's huge Ilya Murometz is very impressive. I'll stop after suggesting this excellent selection from the gorgeous music to Swan Lake.

Man, I can't believe a thread that I started is lasting this long, I appreciate it guys and gals

I've got Roy Orbison playing right now...

Now why'd you have to go and jinx a perfectly good thread like that?

I just bought Mozart's Complete Violin Concertos on the Philips label with Arthur Grumiaux on violin. Beautifully recorded and Mr. Grumiaux's performance was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this CD.
