your favorite music

Steve O: :^) Nice to see so much overlap in composers we enjoy! As to "all in one night," I often bounce quite a ways in a single evening. One of the joys of a large record collection for me is being able to go as the mood strikes from one recording to another.

Newbee: Great to see someone else who appreciates both Ivan Moravec and Paul Jacobs' recordings of the Debussy Preludes!

I have a separate shelf of CAN records and all its artists solo albums. CDs are also separated from the whole collection.
Whatever is associated with CAN is very very special to me.
It's very hard to categorize their music since it's too tallented just to call it progressive rock. It's much more to it...

Rushton,

I dunno; Haydn and Shastokovich back-to-back would strip my gears! Would have to take a loooong break in between.

Newbee,

If you're into solo piano you should try Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and Goldberg Variations. Great stuff.

A concert grand must sound wonderful on your Linbrooks.

Steve O, Yep, I'm especially fond of those big old clattery Bosdendorf Imperials. BTW I've got Gould's Goldbergs. Do they get any better than that? :-)

I'm into Lounge and Downbeat music and have been for a number of years. Zero 7, Massive Attack, Thievery Corp., Stephane Pompougnac, Morhpine, Gotan Project, Lemon Jelly, Tosca, Nightmares on Wax, Mozez, Om Lounge, Karsh Kale, Budha Bar, Afro Celt Sound System, Groove Junkies, Hideo Kobayashi, Jazzanova, Koop, B-Tribe to name just a few.

For me this is the genre creating the most buzz in music today. It's the Jackson Pollack of music, blending many cultures instruments and rhythms together to generate something new and interesting.
