Been listening to various David Helpling & Jon Jenkins tracks. Some really gorgeous music.

Wagner's Liebestod, the aria at the end of his opera Tristan und Isolde, has been haunting me a long time.
Horowitz recorded this piano transcription by Franz Liszt a few days before his death.

This, and other Projekt titles, are on sale today on Bandcamp, so I picked it up. I like it okay, but I'm less partial to the sequenced work that Roach releases. I much prefer the drift-based soundscapes.

I like it but it's the final track "Empath Current" that stands out. Wonderful piece.
Currently listening to Max Corbacho - Arte Magnetica
Again some breathtakingly gorgeous tracks in there. The 1st, 5th and 6th are just... wow.

The Stellar Sea 2007
Lux Primordia 2013
So we might expect something in 2019.
Lux Primordia is a fantastic album by the way.

Everything and Nothing / Re: Epic music?
« on: July 29, 2018, 03:24:36 AM »
"Epic" you say?
Even if you're not into classical music, the finale of Gustav Mahler's 8th symphony is just something you have to hear before you die, at least 10 times.
Take a little time getting to know this fragment. When you "get it", it will hit you like a truck.
You don't even need to listen to the rest of the symphony (even though it's always better to listen to these fragments in their proper context; after getting to know the entire symphony).

Let's face it people, you can't just listen to gentle, soothing and pretty (ambient) music all the time.
There comes a time when you must balance it out with something loud and noisy.
This piece right here. It will fix everything and restore balance to the force.
After this, you can listen to ambient music for many years to come....
I recommend headphones, but you might want to adjust volume while listening.

This is fantastic. Max has always been super-talented, but I feel like he's finally found his own unique voice in the last few releases. The opening and closing tracks of this album are worth the price of admission alone.

Thanks for the tip. I've become quite a fan of Max. He's obviously inspired by Steve Roach but has become pretty much as good in his own right. The harmony in some of his soundworlds is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite album so far is Splendid Labyrinths, especially The Flowing Path and Wonderheart.

Shpongle - And the day turned to night
20 years old. Still one hell of a trip. Something of a production miracle as well.
Probably the best thing to come out of the entire psy/goa genre.

Just found out it's nominated for a Grammy award in the New Age category (!)
I checked the results and he didn't win. Still nice to be nominated, I guess.

Lustmord - Dark Matter
Very nice album!
Raison D'Etre - Metamorphyses
Love it. Maybe it's my favorite from this artist.
Jean Sibelius - Symphony No. 7
My new favorite recording of this masterpiece, paired with some nice images. Obviously it takes time to get into this music, but it's so much worth it. The ending is surely one of the most profound moments in music.
