straight from YOUR playlist
if you encounter a piece of sound so great you want to hang yourself for not being able to write something of similar quality...
if you think you've just found the best music ever made...
if you think a certain song/tune/symphony contains some unusually awesome elements...
...and you want to share it with other c64 composers and not necessarily via your facebook wall, just do it here.
explanations, reviews and so on warmly welcome.
one link per day max.
have fun. |

Do I really need to say anything? My favs being "Bitches Brew", "On the Corner" and "In a silent way" but everybody prolly knows them already so I thought I´d post some of Miles´ lesser known work, the soundtrack for "ascenseur pour l'echafaud". Either Orlingo or Mortimer Twang used to sample that track back in the Amiga days. Been in love with it ever since. A pitty I can´t find any high quality tube links, thanks to BMG. |

This, in the interpretation given below, was one of my regulars for a while (used it as cellphone alarm), although I usually am not a Mozart fan. I wouldn't have posted it here without you triggering it, though, as I would have had other more important pieces on my list, so I do not count it for today :-)

my take for today:
Nina Simone - I put a spell on you
true classic, from a true legend. and a fucking annoying record company blocking all the videos at youtube. BAH! |

@linus: thank you for mentioning my favourite Miles album :)
Today I bring you one of metal's most underrated bands.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Rnf5fLqqo
Coroner "Host" (from their "swan-song" LP "Grin").
Very ambitious and progressive band which dissolved shortly after reaching their creative peak, due to lack of commercial acclaim. Most sources will mention "Mental Vortex" album as their best effort (featuring awesome cover of Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", by the way), but I disagree completely. The whole "Grin" album is magical, I remember listening to it from pirate tapes on headphones at night, some weeks after it came out, dear God did those guys knew how to make metal interesting and challenging. First time I was listening to it I almost had a heart attack at the end of the title track, "Grin (Nails Hurt)" :)
Back to the subject though, the ending track to that album, "Host", is absolutely brilliant, especially after 4:54 when it makes a complete 180 degrees turn. Creepy as hell, that's the way /me likes it. |

OK, some more today.
Despite being a metal progressivist, I am usually not a member of the "louder, faster" fraction.
But there are a few exceptions. The most important one is a band that, like so many, in their later albums turned a more "commercial" way, but on their first complete album (they had one EP before) apparently tried to hit the exact limits of their playing skills :-) (also don't forget, at that time one of the guitarists also was the singer) ... and still make it well listenable.
Which of course, at least if you're writing for dedicated performers (incl. yourself), is an important consideration when writing songs. What am I/is he technically able to do, and for how long in a row? Do I need breaks in the song to recover and prevent spasms? :-)
My "Power metal anthem":

I saw them twice, in the 80's. Would not like to have missed them. |

Dear Lord, "Ride The Sky"! What an awesome speeder that was! Another memory from old pirate tapes and golden days of heavy/thrash metal.
Here is one find from yesterday, really made my day :)

Not for the purists, of course. In a similar way, as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCpOAXIgF9U :) |
