Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs
I want to thank everyone who contributed to my last request for albums where all the songs were good. I find myself going back to my favorite genre of music (if it is such a thing), Mysterious, Mystical, Haunting type songs. My ‘Best of Mysterious’ CD’s have a lot of playtime.
I don’t want to overwhelm everyone right off the bat, so here are a few from my playlist:
Would welcome your contributions. Thanks in advance. Corey

Mysterious, Mystical, Haunting means something different to each one of us. SO a song that stops you in your tracks and leaves you with a blank stare as you are deep in reflection and/or in a contemplative emotional state...whatever the genre. When I was a child, it was Cat's in the Cradle. Today, I come across many from acoustic, rock to classical.

Maybe a tad off topic, but has anyone heard of the young Russian singing sensation Diana Ankudinova? Very unique voice as she's a dynamic contralto (very rare) and has polyphonic overtones She had a very sad start in life but now starting to gain Worldwide recognition The performance below is from a Russian TV show similar to the voice and created for underprivileged children Some of her performances has over 200 million views Vocal coaches that try to analyze her voice are mostly dumbfounded! ln this performance she's 15!!

Any of the early Andreas Vollenwieder albums (the first 5?) I just played Side 1 of Caverna Magica for an old buddy of mine, and he exclaimed how amazing it sounded, and that he probably hadn't heard that in 20 years. It's one of those albums that once you start listening, you don't want to stop it. |
