Love, love, love Dead Can Dance... saw Lisa Gerrad, Brenden Perry & Co again last year---so freakin eargamic good! Also sigur rós. Melancholy, perhaps... but good music--like this--makes me happy.
Although I did not cry, When LG first guided onto the stage, her other worldly voice and presence was ______ (hell I have no words to describe it.) Astounding? Amazing?... I felt as if her vocalizations had transported the whole lot of us to another realm. Was the Finish percussionist with them? Also stunning. Cheers bro(s)!
Yeah.. There's some deep and grave instances of melancholy : But I filtered out the intangible properties of merriment submerged : The track ..... Ill kill Her by Soko is crazy ....Man I loved it : ) Masterful technique in the coalescence of Dread and rapture :
I mean melancholy violet, but yet bright pink like the skin of a newborn pig ;) Great guys!
Unholy mother of Satan! This is great, dark but yet light like a flash. The Richinel piece is one of the best songs I've heard in a while! Thanx!
darkness and gloom never felt this great .. . a symphony for the rejected .. MASTERPIECE!!!
Great music!
Loved the mix, very melancholic and very beautiful.
I have to agree with Christian, it's a bit gothic for a Monday morning. Love it though. Richinel is new to me, impressive voice.
Bit gothic for a Monday morning Scottie ;) This Mortal Coil was a true beauty and Richenel what a retro vocal that shimmers of 80s tastic misery. Broken Social Scene, that was DIFFERENT GOOD, and again Staralfur was another true beauty, just lush. Not sure how Basement Jaxx got a role in this one, but it did have some industrial grey sounds... and violins nice mix fellas. Loved Two Doves, probably my fave here in this set. Jake continued too with Angus Stone and Sufjan Stevens both top tunes. A bit hard going to kick off my week, but it seemed quite apt with the weather we're having, so thnaks for cheering me up you depressing lot ;)
