Starless +1E9

Other than that, you are all totally wrong!! LOL

PFM -- Dove... Quando pt1 Wow, just wow.
Celeste -- Giochi Nella Notte

This could get long so I'll just leave it at that.

Classical reference for me: Debussy -- Sonata for violin & piano in Gm-Allegro

Hi,

This is really hard.

There are way too many moments that stand out for me, and it is hard to find too many that come close.

If I were to name a few of them, here they are, and they maybe a part of the whole:

(in no particular order other than memory)

Gong - You (specially the 2 long cuts back to back!)

Gong - Floating Anarchy (side 2 non stop all the way through Ali Baba ... from magic brothers, mystic sisters ... and here we go!)

Ange - Au Dela Du Delire

Amon Duul 2 - Wolf City

Egberto Gismonti - No Caipira

Terje Rypdal and David Darling - Eos (skip first cut!)

Jan Garbarek - Eventyr

Ash Ra Tempel - New Age of Earth

Carmen - Fandangos in Space

Nektar - Recycled

Vangelis - El Greco

Riuichi Sakamoto - The Last Buddha Soundtrack

Vangelis - Blade Runner Soundtrack

Klaus Schulse - Sebastian in Traum (Audentity)

Mike Oldfield - Amarok (even if he thinks it's crap ... !)

I don't know when and where to stop ... sorry

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

If I was gonna die tomorrow and had to listen to one piece of music,beforehand, it would be :

Holstz - Venus, from the Planets suite.

Ike Willis - Miss You Well, from 'Should have Gone before I Left'

Joni Mitchell - Shades of Scarlett, Conquering, from 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns'

..... Hey, I'm a sensitive guy

Really it makes me sad how some people are here.. Totally judgmental of others musical tastes yet so sensitive about comments even when they dont have any sort of malice or bad intentions whatsoever!

Don't be sad....it was a misunderstanding, that's all. If you'd have read the post, you would have seen that no-one made any judgements about musical taste.

We're all grown-ups, here.

you´re right. in this case it was not. but as recent member in the PA i´ve been reading a lot of empty criticism toward some music preferences. Maybe in this post everyone is a grown up but not on others!

But surely, that's what forums are for, is'nt it?

The opportunity to express your own views.

What constitutes 'empty criticism' to YOU might be deeply heart-felt by the person who wrote it.

Who's to say? That's the great thing about free speech...

It's free.

I once snuck backstage to a FZ concert, before the show began. They're were a lot of people on the side stage. Frank was alone on stage with his guitar playing "Watermelon in Easter Hay"...it was beautiful. I have always thought so.
