Interactive Poll: Live Again! - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I am around. Turtle pace for me. Listening has been slow going. I have gone through about half of the short tunes. Will try to finish this week and vote.

Hmm yeah. As always hard to choose. These are my voting candidates for the short songs: Ou, Tredici Bacci, Fischer-Z, Buster, Lamomali, Band Maid, John Cale. That's seven, I'm afraid. The long songs: Hildur Guðnadóttir, Arthur Hnatek Trio, Dongyang Gozupa.

The best rule to put some order into this is to vote for one per participant. That leaves me with Ou (although I really loved Tredici Bacci when relistening), Buster, and John Cale for the short songs, and Arthur Hnatek's trio for the long ones. Now I have to decide for Kees & George between Fischer-Z & Dongyang Gozupa or Hildur Guðnadóttir & Band Maid. Still a hard one. I think I just about prefer the first pair of these.

Probably too many threads were brought up in the meantime; I hadn't seen this on the Latest Posts list for quite a while.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Best Mascotte:

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

@Someone-else

John Cale re-proposes a Velvet Underground classic arranged very well (splendid sound of electric viola and electric guitar), candidate,

De Kast: sweet, romantic melodic song, oh how nice to be young!

Little River Band: never heard of them, I thought they were from California, what nice relaxing music! Candidate.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to participate in this poll: if an eighth forumist wants to join us, proposing his three songs!

@Lorenzo, thanks for the comments! Btw. there is no e-guitar in the African track, at least not as a lead instrument. It is an amplified acoustic guitar and a kora, a stringed instrument used extensively in West Africa. Did you mix things up or do you rather need a pair of new headphones or glasses? The video is of top quality. LOL

O my God. I'm getting older!!!!

[QUOTE=Mila-13]

Lamomali: Manitoumani

Lamomali is a project by French rock musician Matthieu Chedid in collaboration with various Malian artists, esp. singer-songwriter Fatoumata Diawara, the great kora player Toumani Diabaté and his son Sidiki Diabaté.- There is a longer version of the same song, but I prefer this one, esp. the video.

Max Raabe & Palast Orchester: Küssen kann man nicht alleine

M.R. is a German musician and band leader. His music is strongly inspired by German-language Schlager and chansons from the 1920s and 1930s, accompanied by humorous and witty lyrics. The title of this song translates to 'You Cannot Kiss by Yourself'. Here Raabe is joined by German singer Namika. English Lyrics

Sara Renar: Jesen

S.R. is a singer-songwriter from Zagreb, Croatia. Her music style can be described as experimental/indie/pop mixing subtle melodies with electronic and theatrical elements. English song title: Autumn/Fall.

__________________________________

I might replace the first song with this one:.

Arthur Hnatek Trio: Monotonous

A.H. is a young emerging Swiss jazz musician. He has performed at La Cigale (Paris), Berghain Kantine in Berlin or Montreux Jazz Festival to name just a few.- The video was filmed during a sunrise concert at Les Aubes festival in Geneva (July 2020).- This is a calm, meditative piece that fits nicely the atmosphere of the venue, located on the shore of Lake Geneva.- The title of the piece is somewhat misleading by the way.

p.s. I'm on a business trip atm so I barely had time to look for songs, esp. because three are required this time, also in different lengths. I realise that I am not the only person here who had some difficulties with this :P

MILA!!!

Lamomali: African song, sung in French, works on the repetition of sounds and rhythm progression, with an electric guitar solo that makes it more European. It does not excite me. But I recognise that for some it can be enthralling.

MR & PO: German Cabaret? Almost vaudeville, nice, shame the orchestral arrangement is too much in the background. In my opinion the weakest piece in this selection.

Sara Renar: these videos distract me from the music! Couldn't the singer wear a burka? I'd be more careful!!! Cute atmospheric song, with a nice chorus. My personal favourite.

AH Trio: abstract and very dissonant avant-garde jazz, a bit monotonous for my taste (lots of drums, the melody isnt developed), but we are talking about a quality track, with ambition, it's a candidate for the Grand Prix de la Critique (which it competes with Kees' piece).
