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.

nooooo, +1 for Hudson Mohawke :)
loved Alan Parsons and Casiokids too, didn't know those tracks.
Rush brings too many memories of my first band and our miserable attempts to cover their songs ;)
Linus: perhaps you may want to check out Ariel's newest release "Before Today" then, where lo-fi is mostly gone, and songwriting still A+.

One item from my playlist :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FyjPxkxaq8

The piece "Droid" by Italian duel "Automat". I love it for simple and ingenious, at the same time, melody and harmony.

Mike Steiphenson "Burundi Black" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnLf9Pnyk_E

this is a nice anti-example concerning classic song structure :) it also manages to build an percussive wall of awesomeness by very simple means. best heard in a dark room at full volume. oh, its also a classic, get the maxi if you stumble about it - avoid the reprinted cd release with the uninspiring "new school" remixes.

Hah, Moog, haven´t heard this one for quite some time. Sounds italian for sure in the same vein as Goblin and the like.

Since it´s past midnight already here´s another frequent visitor in my playlist:

New day here :-)

Actually 2 long pieces of the same kind and performer, so I hope grouping them together instead of making two days is ok. I do not post youtube links, as I could not find a non-crippled version there. Do not try youtube if you do not already know these pieces :-( really not. And do not even start them when you do not have the half hour of quietness to listen...

I cannot give you a direct download, you must look for yourself.

These can take me away to long journeys...

@Linus: Italians have great legacy in this matter :) anyways really nice lounge-y track you posted. Btw. Mario Maggi (constructor of Elka Synthex) made sound presets for Automat/Droid :)

@jssr67: I had a cassette tape with "Crystal lake" by Klaus Schultze, i classified it as 40-minutes-long-noises ;P ... seriously it's classic.

Ok, it's another day, so there's something to listen to:

This one gives me goosebumps every time :D Funkey!

Greeat topic :)

I think, that's everything I always wanted to know about orchestration:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbpOoTEFD_g

/ Sxip Shirley, Adam Matta - Moon in Her Belly /

I was in the middle of an orchestration job when I discovered this one. Well... I burned dosens of hours on dead-ends, expanding the number of tracks about 70-80 - these guys cracked the Universe open in 2 minutes, live.

I realised that no 'just an another...' synth layer can heal the lack of a good idea ;)

it works, lots of good finds above, way to go!
today: 'this guy sure can sing', knows his way around composition too and also played all instruments on this track. close vocal harmonies and unexpected melodic turns galore, with a pinch of psychedelia. early queen meets the zombies meets jefferson airplane.

jssr67, nice to see another Schulze lover \o/ got most of his 70s/80s work on vinyl, my favourite being "moondawn", the live drumwork is amazing on that one.

And Cresh, woot, I didn´t know Lacky has done electronic stuff at all, thanks for sharing.

Aleksi Eeben, his awesomenessness.
