I thought the movie was pretty terrible, but this soundtrack is lovely!

Came up in 80s and remember this song :

James Brown - Living in America

 

[rm5]

Oh man, that picardy third (major chord) at the end... so unexpected, but makes me smile every time I hear this track, I absolutely love it!

Thanks for sharing; this is excellent.

I once worked (while observing an election in Bosnia over twenty years ago) with a direct descendent of his, who bore the same surname.

Have you ever looked at (listened to) any of Brandon Acker's music videos?

He is a specialist in early music (Renaissance and Baroque) plucked string instruments (though, most improbably and wonderfully, he started out as a rocker), and some of his videos with Renaissance Guitar, Baroque Guitar, Renaissance Lute, Barqoue Lute, or Theorbo (where have I been all my life that I had never encountered this stunning instrument? In my next life, I want to come back as a theorbo player) are amazing, and well worth exploring.

The music - by composers (such as Francois Le Cocq, Robert de Visée, Gaspar Sanz, Giovanni Battista Vitelli, and Giovanni Kapsberger) I had never heard of until then, and I must say that I really love this music - is also wonderful.

early music

Your post led me back to an album I bought a few years ago (Emilio Villalba, Sara Marina: Sephardica)...here is a recent live performance of the material:

There are a lot of really interesting–to me, anyway–aspects to this music, including the instruments, the lyrics in Ladino (an archaic hybrid of Spanish and Hebrew) and its influence on the composer Scarlatti.

 

[Sal09]

I can listen to this all day everyday.

This is epic on a different level.

One day i will go see maestro live is action.

Queen are timeless, a timeless classic.

Thank you for posting this, and for sharing it.

I have listened to it the whole way through, and it is brilliant. Love it.

In fact, I must see if it is possible to lay hands on this as a CD.

@rm5: If your taste runs to - or includes - antique and unusual music, I can recommend Jordi Savall & Hespèrion XXI.

Anyway, I can recommend (passionately, for I have several of their CDs, more than several) some of the superb material recorded by Jordi Savall (and the group he and his late wife Monserrat Figueras founded, now known as Hespèrion XXI, but originally named Hespèrion XX, after the respective centuries during which they played, and performed).

Listening to some Pat Metheny,

I have been promoting his "from this place" recording here since 2019
personally my fav album of all time, out of over 1,000 I heard and posses.

Just everything works musically on this recording
he goes places like he did musical in "this way up"
and has some of his solo work influences like "imaginary day" and "secret story"
while Antonio Sanchez is incredible as always.
the songs flow marvelously through the album and the musicals are there but hidden.
Same River is so simple but very deep
while Pathmaker is something he never did before start like a subtle "James"
intro that fades into great jazz, while ends with something only Mozart would write
then
"Sixty Six" is just phenomenal!


oh sorry about your family matters, hope everything works out.

Queen are timeless, a timeless classic.

Indeed. My favourite band of all time.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Indeed. My favourite band of all time.

Yes, I know.

I remember.

And some of those tracks (Who Wants To Live Forever? The Show Must Go On; Bohemian Rhapsody, etc) are just brilliant. Simply superb.

Yeah! I'll have to listen to the other records you mentioned, I look forward to hearing them!

And, by the way, stuff's settled down finally... it wasn't my family, it was the family of a close friend. But it's gotten a lot better on my end in the past few days, which is good.

Oh goods, I did not want to promote something while someone is suffering.
life can be cruel, especially here on earth
I briefly saw someone pass away sense-i-sly yesterday I think.
Music helps and Pat been doing this since the late 1970
do see him if you can!

I saw Pat Metheny perform with his Side-Eye trio in 2021, it was truly something else!

Drowning Pool - Sinner (2001)

Dial it up to eleven, you wont be disappointed nor will your neighbours LOL...

Q-6

 

[Queen6]

While we're at it, lets go at it. Faith No More - The Real Thing (1989)

This is an album you must let rip. Currently volume 90 of 120. Time to switch up, same album played on dual R2R DAC's. Most definitely getting sporting...

Q-6

 

[bondr006]

Another day down...

Black Pumas - Colors

Cage The Elephant - Punchin' Bag

77's - Unbalanced

Milky Chance - Down By The River

The Black Keys - Little Black Submarines

Blind Melon - No Rain

 

[Scepticalscribe]

A stunning and quite exquisite piece (from the Baroque era) written by Athanasius Kircher named Tarantella Napolenta, played by the modern (French) group L'Arpeggiata.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Listening to the album that that track (Tarantella Napolenta, written by Athanasius Kircher, 1602-1680) is from.

The album - by the French group L'Arpeggiata - is called La Tarantella.

Superb stuff.

 

[bondr006]

Still listening to my pop playlist that spans from the 60's to today with over 2,500 tunes on it, and still growing.

Blind Melon - The Pusher

Uriah Heap - Stealin'

Bob Marley - 3 Little Birds

Santana - Smooth

Melissa Etheridge - I'm The Only One

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Sometimes, you run the risk of forgetting just how good music such as Jordi Savall, or L'Arpeggiata, actually are.

While I love Baroque music at any time, somehow, I think that it is just perfect for spring.
