The last great thing Wetton did before inflicting Asia upon the world

 

Bit of a classic, but Coltrane's sax solo @ 2:37 is goosebumps on goosebumps, to me.

 

Goosebumps theme song.

 

The original one

 

Here are two easy to miss gems for our fellow non-gamers:

 

Potato headed Bobby >> Illinois Enema bandit >> San Ber'dino

"bobby, I'm sorry you got a head like a potato, I really am..."

 

This Mortal Coil "Song of the Siren"

 

Daring modal interchange. Amazing stuff.

 

Ravel - Piano concerto in G - Adagio Assai

(The only pianist I know of that plays it correctly without the irritating off beat delays in the melody notes Like most other pianists do!)

Rachmaninov - Symphony No2 - Adagio

Ricky Lee Jones - Skeletons

What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow?
See'st thou not how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold,
I can scarcely move or draw my breath?
Let me, let me freeze again to death.

The FIFTH Element - Tolkyn Zabirova

What an amazing voice seems almost impossible, what a talent, I must be really getting old to be so impressed by female opera performer's voices. Can it be that they are so much better now than in the past.

 

I cry when I listen to this so I never hardly do.

 

Gee wiz, I thought they manipulated the voice in the studio to achieve that stunning performance!!!

 

The world turns black for me just at the sound of his awful voice.

 

Strawberry Letter 23

 

Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way

 

Couple of piano based compositions from OSTs.
