But holy hell, that's pretty damn impressive, and on an 8-string too. Here's one of my favorites. I don't know if his technique is quite on par with that dude, but I love this composition. And he certainly brings his A-game in terribly odd crossdressing department as well.

I used to really like Hiromi but somewhere along the way I lost interest...I guess I'm not so much into jazz piano. For some reason that song made me immediately go and want to listen to Cornflake Girl, nothing in common AT ALL but still. This song never gets old.

And never forget about H ZETT M and his unique style, so expressive.
Edit: That Tori Amos song was good at first listening, I still need to get into her music. Last edited by Carlx : 2011.09.25 at 02:22 PM. |

today I was talking to a friend about how Tori is one of the only artists whose albums I feel like I truly ingest, that satisfy some hunger. Each album she makes she throws her entire self into, from the concept the music to the production...she is frequently criticized for being obtuse...but isn't that the point? in the age of fast food and quick and easy satisfaction isn't an obtuse puzzle great in its own right? every album she releases I feel like I spend weeks uncoding, with all the veiled references, mythological concepts and archetypes, melodies and harmonies that don't always click right away...I guess that is what gives it staying power for me. another favorite...

Yes,
I've just noticed how bad the reception for it is. I don't really understand why, Bjork delivered Bjork... it's better and more challenging than Volta, but not as hard listening as Drawing Restraint 9. Which is what I want. And holy shit, the song "Sacrifice" is just awesome. I'm gonna give it an 8/10 But yeah, not gonna try and figure this one out... very much the same way I'm not gonna figure out wtf is wrong with people who don't like Sanmon Gossip. Unsure whether a :-p is necessary

I haven't bothered listening to Biophilia yet...I like Crystalline but I haven't cared for the other digital singles like Virus, Moon, and Cosmology.
NOH is being very well received by both rock and classical critics, which is kind of a nice surprise. We'll see how I feel about it in a few months. I threw AATS on and enjoyed it, which is generally how most recent music of hers works, I enjoy it in the moment but don't actively seek it out. I won't know that about NOH unless I have time to lose myself in some other album and wander back. As part of her Deutsche Grammophone release deal, she is going to be a doing a Best Hits with Strings kind of deal in 2012 with the Metropole Orchestra, it has already been recorded. They are releasing it for the 20th Anniversary of Little Earthquakes, it will be a lot from that album and then other songs she has chosen through the rest of her career. |
