Ally Cat by Seventh Wonder.
One of the best singers of all time in my opinion.

Unfortunately culture often stops at the language borders.

Does anyone know the name of the chant that begins at 2:37?

At any rate, this whole time line is a masterpiece, whomever arranged it.

Sorry, if we're talking cello, Rasputina is better...


edit: and thank you Galteeth, I had not realized BR had a new album out.

Blood Sweat & Tears - Variations By Erik Satie


One of the best versions of Rachmaninoff's Vocalise with Itzhak Perlman

I like them both. I find that the first really captures the mood of the season in particular.

now maybe you're right

I aint going to argue with you no more

I put up with your lies, like you put up with mine

but god knows...

now there aint nothing but regret
nothing, nothing but regret

everything we do

Thanks for the recent posts. Cool stuff. Still making my way slowly through this entire thread. Here's something from the soundtrack of the movie 'Heaven':

 

[ThomasT]

This is an almost 40 year old song by Joni Mitchell. I don't know why exactly, but this song moves me. Sorry I couldn't find a better version. I'm an instrumental musician. I could care less about words. But this song is just so simple yet so cool, and the quality of Joni's voice is so moving. You find yourself thinking that you wish you had thought of it, but you're just glad that somebody did. I think the song is beautiful and beautifully done. By the way, don't look at the video, just close your eyes and listen to the music.
Judgement of the Moon and Stars


Here's another:
Court and Spark


and one more
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire


Now for Tori Amos whose stuff I also love
a somewhat raw, but really good, performance of a cool song on Conan's show in 1994
this one is cool to watch, she's hot and she can play -- a musicians dream

 

[Kraise]

Ahh

let me take part in this topic~

If one take a few minutes to listen any of these songs, i guarantee the joy

Jordan Ruddess - From Within


Carla White - Cant Say goodbye to yesterday


Miles Davis - Blue in Green


and

Yoko Shimomura - Legend of mana title theme

 

[Andre]

With only some 20 seconds of actual singing both at the beginning and end of the song, Nocturne by Secret Garden was probably the most silent winner of the annual Eurosongfestival

We used to stack 8 Advent speakers in quad, with a Phase Linear preamp (cooled with ice cubes) and amp, in a room that was about 12 ft by 14 ft. At full volume it could be heard a mile or two away.

Wow! I went in the other direction. I eventually managed to round up two monoblock MacIntosh 30-watt power tube amplifiers and some decent speakers to put together a killer stereo. I used an AR turntable and tinkered with preamplification to get a decent system. You couldn't hear it very far away, but my dorm room and (later) apartment were often populated with people who wanted to hang out and listen to great music. I sold the Macs when my wife and I were chasing jobs early in our marriage, and opted for a more compact Sansui do-all amp. Live and learn.

I've never been able to tolerate loud music. Of course, now at my age, I can hear a pin drop a mile away and it will wake me from a sound sleep.

I still can't stand loud music. I want to hear the subtle nuances, not have my ear drums shattered.

I'm not a very emotional guy at all but I got to admit, this song kinda pulls at my cold, hard Russian heart strings just a little bit.

Hallelujah -

I'm not really sure if I like this version or the one by Rufus Wainwright.

Some of my favorite Beatles jams. I pretty much listen to these songs a couple of times a week

Let It Be -

In My Life -

Finally, I heard this song the second Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure or what-have-you and loved it. I was really young and had no idea how to really track down songs so I never knew anything about it until many years later when I finally saw the movie again and watched the credits at the end to see the name/artist. I still like the song until today though I don't think I know any other Kiss songs.

That version of "Hallelujah" is really nice. One of my favorite songs.
