I don't think that any of you will be surprised if I were to tell you that yet again I find myself listening to Philip Glass - today it's Kundun . The last track Escape to India is simply magnificent.

From Trash most of the week. I'm still struggling to reach a verdict on this. I find that some of the lyrics are a bit weak & have not had much thought put into them. The music is great on most tracks, although I find From Trash a bit Euro disco - ish & I'm not to keen on euro disco. My favourite tracks are; From Trash, Never Let Me Go, Friendly Fire ( sounds like The Sweet jamming with Goldfrapp), Your Kisses Burn v.2 ( my 19 year old son said this sounds like music for a porn film !) & The One Who Walks Through You.

I'd like to hear what others think about it a few months on.

Why is it, that when you post comments about an album etc, that you end up eating your own words.

From Trash comments:

Lyrically weak - Nope, just one or two rhyming couplets that are slightly cheesy.

Euro Disco - Not at all. it's Metamatic Dance Music with some serious, almost dub-like bass notes & panned arp delays going on, which rather than getting your feet tapping & body gyrating, seriously interfere with your brain patterns creating Metacortex Frequency Disco.

Superb stuff!

Dead Can Dance - Into The Labyrinth. Every time I play Lisa & Brendan's music, I feel so spiritually blessed & nourished.

Excellent stuff for Easter then. smile

It's been an exhausting day.
But I managed to get Cathedral Oceans 3 playing this afternoon while we cleared away after the service. Not exactly a public broadcast, though I hope someone went away wondering who that cool music was by! wink

Rounding things off this evening with the beautiful song "Calvary" by Baby Dee, from the album "Little Window"

Take up your cross and follow
Wake up from your sleep
Wake up, wake up in sorrow
Wake up, wake up and weep

Take up your cross and follow
Won't you follow me?
Wake up, wake up in sorrow
Wake up on Calvary


Otherwise, this weekend has included:-

Hi jack - Amon Duul
Blue Sunshine - The Glove and
Farewell - Clan of Xymox

It's good to see Dead Can Dance mentioned here - just got hold of the new (compilation) album by Lisa Gerrard ... absolutely fantastic... wink

Chilled out first thing with Translucence ADM, but I think I'm going to step things up a gear now with Simple Minds Live in the City of Light!
'Promised you a Miracle' is fab on this cd!

Is anyone suffering from chocolate overload?? wink

I have had two nights of Chocolate overload so you're not the only one Sarah.
Been busy gardening this morning so it may be a CO and have a rest this afternoon

First few days of warm sun and blue skies cool so 'The Garden' got an airing yesterday as did 'A Kind of Wave'. Have also been listening to Broken Social Scene's debut and Sylvian's 'Brilliant Trees' - an album that I doubt I will ever tire of.

Today it has been the 'Kill Bill - Vol. II Soundtrack' album and the Dixie Chicks 'Long Way Home'. Both are fantastic and fit the mood...
