Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Jori Hulkkonen - Different

You're not into "la's", are you?!

In the meantime I've been sidetracked by Kraftwerk's Electric Café!

It's really gotta be instrumental music when I'm at work - the risk of singing along is far too great - so today it's mainly been Tangerine Dream...

I recently discovered Zeit, Rubycon and Phaedra.
Zeit is not music to work to!!!

Rob, have you ever heard the Solaris soundtrack by Cliff Martinez? It's a beautiful piece of work, and very TD, at their most ambient.

However my enjoyment of this soundtrack has been marred slightly by its regular use in The Apprentice!

Phaedra and Rubycon are beautiful albums - and you're right about Zeit, certainly not one of their finer moments...

Ooooooo, that sounds quite interesting...

I know that I shouldn't jump to conclusions merely based on stuff that it's associated with (after all being used in conjunction with the last David Attenborough series didn't harm Sigur Ros), but that's kinda put me right off it...

Don't be put off! If you haven't seen the film (the Clooney version) then I would recommend it, because then you'll wan to he the soundtrack. Beautiful stuff.

...I actually started playing it earlier but switched halfway through to the Tangerine Dream compilation from Disky Records

I recently got 2 Tangerine Dreams in the bargain bin: Encore Live and Rubycon. These are the kind of 'finds' that make me very happy.

Friday and today has been The Buzzcocks - 'Singles Going Steady', Numan's - 'Engineers' (official version), and Yazoo - 'Only You' (best Of).

I dont have those two TD slbums M. Lets us know what you think on first listenings.

Finished the evening with Mike Oldfield - 'Music Of The Spheres'. Fourth time this week, and its getting better every play.
