∆ Well done.      

Particularly well done since I asked "Are you on a stairway to heaven AND on a highway to hell?"

Snicolette wrote: Logan: Tallis “Spem in alium” Here angelic voices that almost sound like flutes at first, then it becomes clear they are all vocalists. Transcendent and transporting piece, as these are meant to be, definitely good chills inducing.   Christopher Young “Hellbound Heart” Begins ominously as one might expect. Orchestral soundtrack with suspense-building strings and some harp playing discordantly. Flutes join in with the various strings. Cellos create a very deep, menacing tone. There is a sense of melancholy about 2/3rds in, turning to a more despairing tonality. The piece becomes less lushy populated, now just strings and piano at the end. Angelo Badalamenti “The Voice of Love” Here is music that reminds us of how much a soundtrack can contribute to visual arts and become absolutely one of the addictive parts of a well-loved tale. I know this one, so wouldn’t be able to vote for it, but Badalamenti’s music will always be entwined with the characters and visuals of Twin Peaks to create my fascination for this series. Such a very moving scene with the music and symbolism of these characters in that room with the angel.

That's a really wonderful write-up, thank you so much. I really love that Tallis piece, and I'm very much inline with you on the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me piece and how it contributes to the visuals. There are so many ways that visual arts and music can combine to make something artistic and even transcendent.

Sorry about all the code coming through, hard to fix while I'm on my phone. EDIT: now can fix.

^ But smart phones are handy when you want to post while in the checkout line of the grocery store. :D

Anticipate errors, this is just after a quick run-through and I will be editing this anon (just wanted to make start on this). Nor is it formatted properly. It's mostly for my record, and there's still some time to finalise nominations for those who listed more than the one heaven and hell duo.

I'm doing this in the order of the participants first post that links to/ includes music for the topic.

Logan: Krzysztof Penderecki - "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" / Thomas Tallis - "Spem in alium"

Snicolette: Hell: Atilio Adrian Matteucci & Jesse Ahmann - "To One In Paradise" & Heaven: Azam Ali w/ Hildegard Von Bingen's - "O Vis Aeternitatis"

nick_h_nz: Teeth of the Sea - Whilst We Live in Fear of Hell / Jordan Reyne - Heavenly Creatures

JD: Harry Partch -Delusion of the Fury: Act I: Treats with Death and with Life Despite Death: Emergence of the Spirit / Chris De Burgh - Spanish Train

Lewian: Idem - Suedirland Bantry Bay / Ex-Einstuerzende Neubauten FM Einheit - Korrektionsanstalt

mathman0806: Love and Rockets - "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" / "Bound For Hell"

Mila-13: Msaki - Dreams / Laibach - Smrt za smrt (Death for Death)

Hiram: Heaven: CMX - "Taivaan lapset" / Hell: CMX - "Epäonnisten liikemiesten helvetti"

Cristi: Emma Ruth Rundle - Heaven / Phenomena - Dance With the Devil

Raff: Anuna - "Whispers of Paradise" / Metallica - "The Call of Ktulu"

suitkees:

jamesbaldwin: HELL: Massimo Zamboni feat. Lalli & Marina Parente: Dolorama (Painrama?) / HEAVEN: Franco Battiato: L'ombra della Luce (The Shadow of Light)

Tancos: Ry Cooder - "Great Dream from Heaven" / The Pogues - "Boys from the County Hell"

The Anders: Talking Heads - "Heaven" / Kaizers Orchestra - "Ompa til du dør"

I prophesy disaster: Todd Rundgren - "Everybody's Going to Heaven" / The Alan Parsons Project - "Can't Take It With You"

TCat: Heaven: (The Muckers "New York Girls") and Hell: (The Angels of Light "New York Girls")

tigerfeet: Jacky - "White Horses" / Tom Waits - "Hell Broke Luce"

**Mirakaze: Can -"Halleluhwah" and "Aumgn" perhaps?**

Various titles will need editing to fit them in the options, and this is mostly just a quick copy-paste so not formatted. Having done this very quickly I may have missed some decided on options. I won't be putting this up until Tuesday, maybe about 36 hours after the time of this posting.   There is still some time for any minds to change, time to add others for potential nomination, and for others to participate if they wish.

As said, the poll goes up on Tuesday. Please try to finalise all choices by tomorrow (any time of the day) if possible.

I'm kinda torn between my two hellish proposals. I would prefer to nominate a less known act but I believe that you guys are not into electronic music really. On the other hand, is industrial any better? Hmm . .

^ Thanks to you both for your nominations. And Mila, you're still very very much in time. It's not even like I'll even start on it first thing when I wake up tomorrow. First I need my coffee, two cups (one black and one with creamer and sugar, sometimes mixed together). This morning I made the mistake of posting before I had my coffee, the results weren't great.

I'll go with the pair of songs that I mentioned first, Heaven: (The Muckers "New York Girls") and Hell: (The Angels of Light "New York Girls")

Thanks M&M (Mike and Malcom), so its just Suitkees that is undecided -- he hasn't been around for a while, hope all is well -- and Mirakaze. I decided that I will add her choices unless I hear otherwise. Sure lots of us know them, but I think it's an awesome addition to the playlist.

I'll edit the formatted list to this post later, working on that now.   If you see anything that needs correction, or if I missed anyone, please mention it (see earlier post with names attached). With duos especially I have to abbreviate and squeeze various ones to fit the poll option spaces.

This is how I have it now to fit the poll options:

Logan:
Penderecki: Threnody for the Victims / Tallis: Spem in alium

Snicolette:
Matteucci/Ahmann: To One in Paradise/Ali: O Vis Aeternitatis

nick_h_nz:

TCat:
The Muckers: New York Girls/ Angels of Light: New York Girls

tigerfeet:
Jacky: White Horses / Tom Waits: Hell Broke Luce

Mirakaze?:
Can: Halleluhwah and Aumgn

That's eighteen.

EDIT: It's now Tuesday here, and I'll add Suitkees first duo to the list (if I hear otherwise in the next nine or so hours, then I can change). The poll is ready to go (put the options in and just waiting to post it tomorrow).
Thanks for all the nominations and suggestions.

Okay, I put it up a number of hours earlier than I planned to. Accidentally lost the edit on the poll I had ready, so re-did it (not hard with my list above that was formatted for the space), and wanted to get it out of the way.
