I was just listening to this album today, and for the life of me, I don't understand why Michael Hedges is not listed in PA....
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

It's quite odd, someone voted for U, but neglected the R, M, and P. I find that strange for such an ass.

Well, Shadowfax made it. Not for their original WH works of course. And Michael Manring. 

Anyway, Hedges is my favorite acoustic player and shaped my own playing...that I suck at. Its where my handle comes from. So I will be misappropriating a 4th vote to give Hedges some love.

Have always loved Michael Hedges, in fact, I was contemplating posting one on here.  But it was one of many I could have posted.

Glad you like this one.  If no one gets the answer, I'll tell who the pop artist was and the song it was used on when the voting is going on.

Honestly, there were few on this one that I just knew right away not for me.  And some, even so, I still enjoyed, but didn't hit the Top 3 contention area for me.  Of course I know of the name, but had never really heard much of Charles Ives and found I liked it.

you know what I meant by that LOL and neither Shadowfax nor Manring have that implied stigma attached to them.

OK here is my top 3.  

1.  Marla Leigh - Rhythms of Tof Miriam ~  THIS!  Even though I also chose a Middle Eastern piece and am familiar with the genre, found myself humming the tune all morning and then going and buying the release.  Sorry to be so predictable.  Maybe you'll find me less so on the prog poll.  

2. Era - Tono       ~  Beautiful and moving.  So hard to not love violin.  So I’m not even gonna try.   the interplay between the two was pretty irrestistable for me.  

3.  Charles Ives - Piano Sonata #2   ~  Fun following the notes.  Loved the “excited” section where the notation did get visibly kinda crazy.  Tried for the life of me to get the bonus, maybe it will yet come to me?  I know the melody, and know I did not know it from this. 

Number 3 was a very difficult choice, but I went with Charles Ives because I knew of his reputation more than I knew of his music.  I kept returning to this. 

The biggest struggle was between Ives and Matsui.  But truly, what a great bunch of music from so many genres.  One thing I will say is that the palate of prog lovers is truly one of many flavours.  Bravo and Brava to all who participated in this one.  

Edited to add......Unless I jumped the gun and there are more, I may have to ask forgiveness and make an adjustment......

Quite a lot of interesting ones here. My picks:

1. Era - Tono
2. Janko Nilovic - Underground Session
3. Charles Ives - Piano Sonata #2

Other contenders: Anoushka & Patricia (talented musicians!), Philip Glass, Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and Taylor Davis.

Anoushka Shankar & Patricia Kopatchinskaja – Raga Piloo – very enjoyable.  It’s a long and well executed conversation between instruments.  My cat was blissing out to this until that damn lawnmower (the neighbor’s) started outside.

 

Alice Cooper – Grand Finale – This song is proof of the talent of this band that would unfortunately be overshadowed by the persona that was to be created as time went on.

 

Kazu Matsui – Legend of the Lake – Was not available (?)

 

Tokyo Groove Jyoshi – What is Hip? – Funky & Fresh.  Japanese delight!  Excellent mix of cultures.  Probably posted most likely with Mick in mind, but is made of the stuff that I love in catchy music.  Contender!

 

Ludovico Einaudi – In un’altra vita – Lovely, new age style piano with flowing riffs and melody. 

 

Kaleidoscope – Taxim – great psychedelic rock with mix of western and mid-Eastern influences.

 

Janko Nilovic – Underground Session – Excellent fusion and a bit of an impressionistic vibe, the sort of thing that I love.  Mix of Western music and African rhythms.  The improvisational sections are not afraid to go off the rails and the symphonic jazz style is very appealing.  Contender.

 

Era – Tono – amazing violin work, definitely a showcase of talent.  I love how it goes out of control and how easily it all gets reigned back in.

 

Allman Brothers Band – In Memory of Elizabeth Reed – One of my favorite jams from them which I know too well.

 

George Benson – Six to Four – Again another one that is quite familiar to me already since I am an avid George Benson fan. 

 

Peace & Quiet – Looney Tunes – Another excellent rock jam, this time one that I wasn’t already familiar with.  Excellent find!

 

Bryan Beller – Casual Lie Day – smooth fusion groove.  Glad to hear the addition of horns later that sets this above the typical and usual talent showcase piece.  Yet it shows off his unique style as it continues and has a nice bass run.

 

Scorn – Forever Turning – Love the uneasy feeling of this, the impending suspense that the music brings.  Since I’m also an Art Zoyd fan, I’ll be looking into more of this.

 

Marla Leigh – Rhythms of Tof Miriam – Love this one a lot.  I was going to post something similar to this by another artist, but that will be saved for a later time.  Contender.

 

Philip Glass – Caught – Again, I’m quite familiar with Glass’ works, but not so much with this one.  Nice dramatic and cinematic feel.

 

Taylor Davis – Nebulous – Another amazing instrumentalist and yet another great talent showcase of a track.

 

Pelle Gunmundsen- Holmgreen – Planteaux pour deux – Bicycle horns and a cello….I wear a pan head for a reason….Push it down the stairs and see what it sounds like.  Another contender, but in the end, the bicycle horn section was a little too long and my mind started to wander until she changed instruments, but otherwise, I’m hooked.

 

Here are my top 3:

  1. Janko Nilovic – Underground Session
  2. Marla Leigh – Rhythms of Tof Miriam
  3. Tokyo Groove Jysoshi - What is Hip?
  4. Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen – Planteaux pour deux (honorable mention)

 

Excellent posts made this a tough pick once again.  Can’t wait to see what comes next.

I hope this qualifies because it has about 20 seconds of spoken words, it's not by the vocalist of the band.
The music is still great though, the band is called Meta Meta.

Before I voted, I figured there might be a few more posts that would come along.
 
I really like this, it has everything I like about latin jazz in it.  I don't know if it will qualify, we'll leave that up to Mick.  If it does, I will have to figure out if it belongs in my top 3.  Excellent post either way.

Oh, jumped the gun.  Sorry folks. Will listen and may adjust accordingly.  Will try not to do that in future.  I just saw someone else had voted and went back over my contenders...Embarrassed
