Went to St Martins In The Field when I was in uni - One of the most memorable concerts was by The Sixteen (*) when they performed "Miserere Mei Deus"... Probably the most beautifully, haunting Choral work I have ever heard; especially Live, I still get goosebumps when I remember it now. I am anything but religious etc, but this is Something Else. When the Top Line hit that High 'C'... Phewwww!

First time I have actually listened right through a Choral music piece, and that is just magnificent. No words really.

The lady is in the top line hitting that note is, as you say, something else.

And, this is probably not the most PC observation in Choral music circles, but she is quite tasty too.
Too right - She looks like she's wearing her Come Face when she hits that High Note! :D :-P

Thanks for that insight, have to say I've never noticed that particular look from any of the girls I've been with.

Oh! Well! We Listen, Live and Learn....




sometimes





sometimes not




whose to say huh?


but all strangeness and joking aside


I was once told that one listen to this particular little piece of music (pn;y 5 minutes) piece of music is like trying a drug for the first time .... ''' just as the ancient mariner once opined" .I would suggest 'take fair warning.

and that this mesmerising little piece was "as heaven upon the sense"..... mind you our Art Teacher was a tad strange on occasions...

New Album / CD by Steve Cropper & The Midnight Hour (With Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame)

Image


If you like your Blues Raw and Sweet this just might be for you... Steve Cropper's voice is like Gravel & Honey and Billy Gibbon's Geetar & Fretwork is tinged with that ZZ Top sound. Brian May guests on one track. Recommended. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Posted on here a few times over the years regarding Marillion, imo one of the very greatest bands of the last 30 years.

Most will know the Misplaced Childhood album, in the Fish-era, which is still one of my top 5 all-time albums.

Post-Fish, with Steve Hogarth, they are lesser known maybe, but more appreciated by their devotees.

Their catalogue is littered with absolute gems, but a lot of debate over which is their best 'Hogarth' album. Marbles (the double) and Brave are great, and their latest 'An Hour Before it's Dark' has some brilliant moments, especially the last track, Care IV.

I have started listening again to F.E.A.R (Fuck Everybody and Run) which many fans regard as their best ever, and is definitely one of great prog rock albums. If you have time, give it a listen. Jammed full of melodies, great lyrics, stunning solos it really packs everything.

Let me know what you think.

PS Changing the era completely, one of my fave ever songs with a wonderful guitar solo, Mountain's 'For Yasgur's Farm' is just so .... wonderful!!

Will do...

I am very familiar with "Script for a Jesters Tear" (Top Album Title!) and"An Hour Before It's Dark" Both Excellent, I also like Fish's "Vigil In A Wilderness of Mirrors"... Hoarth is a really fine vocalist; better range etc than Fish, but his (Fish') lyrics etc are brilliant...

Don't know if you've seen it but this month's (Latest Edition) of PROG ROCK Magazine they have In-Depth Interview/s with Fish and how & why he has now quit the music business, but the questions and answers go back to the beginning with Marillion... Worth a Read.


Talking of Guitar Solo's outside of the usual etc...Andrew Latimer of Camel is so Underrated as a guitarist ... Worth a listen is "Summer Lightning"..

The Guitar Solo at the end is Beautifully Constructed....

Going to London with the missus for a few nights in Feb.
Staying in central London, but just Noticed that Dr Feelgood (not original members obviously) are playing in Hampton.
Wondering has anybody seen them recently, would take us an hour on the train eachway, so would need to be worth giving up a night in London, plus early flight home the next day.

Does he mention slagging off AC/DC then making sure AC/DC were never on the same bill, cos Bon was going to re-arrange his pretty boy face!
