...aka The Human League, for those not in the know. This and Dare! (from which L&D is derived) are Martin Rushent's signature production masterpieces. Love it, love it, love it.
Anyway, I've been listening quite a bit lately to Provision's new album A New Revolution: decent EDM/minimal synthpop in a Red Flag-meets-Information Society vein.
Now playing: A Flock Of Seagulls "Don't Ask Me", from their eponymous debut.
Before that: Provision "Tomorrow", from A New Revolution.
Oh, and last night, I discovered a rather obscure international pop hit from Samoa: "Sau Ta O", by Zipso featuring Mr. Tee. It's Baha Men goes to Polynesia with a house-style drum track, and is kinda catchy. Check it out...

Great piece.
And, in a salute to a bizarre (yet compellingly interesting) thread posted elsewhere, I am now playing Queen's wonderful song - "Who Wants To Live Forever?"
And to which I have added (after The Style Council's 'With Everything To Lose' - the version with the flute solo - exquisite ), the haunting 'Last Time Forever' by 'Squeeze'.....
Guess I'm showing my vintage tonight.....

And now, for some ineffable, nay exquisitely haunting - almost gossamer in its delicacy - music: The inimitable Erik Satie and some of his Gnossiennes, No 3 ("Lent", and "Avec Etonnement", and Gnossienne No 4, "Lent").....
The biggest up and coming artist in the UK right now is Jake Bugg. 18 years old ! (What could he know about song writing?) Well a lot actually. His debut album is astounding.

Thanks Pachyderm, I like this version better than the one on my DB Greatest Hits album --which I've been replaying all evening.
Lindsey Stirling should collaborate with The Crüxshadows (a goth/darkwave band known for its use of violin) for a song or two. That would rawk.
Woo! You my friend, have very good taste.
Another classic, classic-fied even haha.

Charles-Marie Widor, 'Toccata Symphony No. 5, Opus 42, No. 1'. Fantastic. Go listen to it.....
"Needs more co.... stops." - Christopher WalkenIf you like organ (snicker) music, check out Diane Bish, or my favourite English Sister who used to be on TV, and who's name escapes me at the moment.

I have a stupid grin on my face; I have listened to this piece many, many times over the years (hundreds, perhaps?) but have never seen it played before. Thoroughly enjoyed this (and happily listened to it for the second time this evening); thank you for posting it......
To be able to play like that - is it not the sort of accomplishment that one might consider selling one's soul for? Wasn't that what was said (in dark, muttered, hushed whispers) about the violinist Paganini? Ah, well, wonderful all the same....
Yes, but only because he was light years ahead of his peers, at the time, and he composed for himself, which they hated.
Today however, we have many skilled players at his level.
Of course the talent pool to draw from is somewhat larger now.
