^ Don't know, because yours' is not working for me. I guess there are not that many versions around, so if it clocks at 5'46" it should be alright.

^ Yes, then it is probably the right one, I guess (Album: We're OK. But We're Lost Anyway, 2021).

Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp - Be Patient:

Haha! Thanks Kees! I agree, fantastic album. I'm glad you suggested it. Smile

@Mila, the video you posted is unavailable to me too, but I was able to add it to the playlist. When I view the "hidden" videos in the playlist, the preview pictures and times are the same as the ones available to me. So, both for OTPMD and Aquaserge, there are two videos in the playlist of the same tracks, so hopefully everyone can get at least one to play.

This is really coming together well. I haven't been able to listen to every selection in full but have enjoyed the ones I have heard. Thanks to everyone's contributions so far.

Just two slots left!

I'll add one more. In the original "Teach Me About Chamber Rock" thread, I had first suggested two albums. One was Risk by Far Corner, from which the first track comes from. I'll almost close with a track from the second album, Howl by Rêve Général.

Rêve Général - 5/4

Nice! Thanks Mira!

Well, that concludes the playlist. Please take a listen if you are interested. Voting and commenting are optional, but comments are welcome.

The playlist is in the first post. Also added here with link.

^ Thanks! This will probably give a lot of listening pleasure, with a couple of new discoveries for me...

There is a considerable amount of music here that I have been very into. There is one than stands above the others when it comes to my current tastes, and that is Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp's "Be Patient". I adore this.

I might give more votes later, but I also will give votes to Aquaserge's 1768°C (A Edgar Varèse) Metamorphosis' Under the Sun and Fuse's Mister Black.

This was another great and successful poll.

Lots of upbeat music here, I tend to go for the darker pieces.  Obviously everyone brought very accomplished musicians here, no matter what the compositions.  Two Weeks had vocals that reminded me of The Beach Boys, very sunny stuff indeed.  I have to say that I love Pikapika TeArt, I have that recording and their other release as well (thanks to Ian for the introduction).  But I vote for what is new to me.  That all being said, here are some short takes and my voting decisions for this round.  

Thank you for bringing the subject, George, and to everyone who brought forth so many wonderful pieces of music to enjoy.

1. Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp “Be Patient” Deep, dark celli begin the piece, bidding us to exercise patience, as it very slowly builds.     The textures become more complex and electric bass, guitar and drums enter, with some discordance, and a female vocal.  Deliciously ominous.

2. Julverne “Le fils du Roy est Névrosé”  This is superb chamber music, soaring, with plenty of complexity and verve, even a hint of whimsy.  A bit melancholic, as well, which always wins my vote.  Piano, strings and flute comprise the instrumentation.

3. Terje Rypdal & David Darling “Bedtime Story”  Appropriately dreamy cello, with some effected electric guitar emerging 2/3rds in. Very simple piece, but perfectly executed.  The music is evocative and calming, as the title suggests, but I think I'd be asking for just one more story after this one was done.

Honorable Mentions

Aranis “Mythra”  Pretty acoustic guitar leads the piece, with synths coming in, evoking twinkling lights. Strings echo the twinkling, and there is a crescendo as it all kicks in, full force.  Staccato strings and piano pick up and then drop to just strings and back again.  Lots of tension and release to this piece.

Five-Storey Ensemble “Here is Not That City”  Sort of a march or bolero with a wide variety of instruments including bassoon and accordion.  Evocative of cityscapes, with moments of introspection amongst the hustle and bustle.  Note that I do know of the artist(s), but had not heard this piece.

Rêve Général “5/4 (Live)”  Funny, two pieces entitled “5/4,” in the poll.  This is a very different 5/4, combining electric instruments with a lot of strings.  It’s quite the mover, a sense of urgency to the piece as it moves right along.

Thanks for voting/commenting Greg and Nickie. Even though Kees suggested them, I have been enjoying OTPMD since Amazon randomly suggested them last year. The album "We're OK. But We're Lost Anyway" is a great diverse listen. Talented group. Here a couple of songs (Beginning and Blabber) from the album done in a not chamber outdoor setting.

^ Wonderful!

I could vote for all 25 from this playlist. That would not be reasonable, so being very selective I'm voting for Fuse, Aranis, DJ Spooky & Kronos Quartet and Rêve Général...  Thanks for all these wonderful contributions!

^^ I enjoyed that, thanks. I now have have checked out various music by OTPMD, and "Be Patient" still stands out for me for its rather deep Krautrocky groove -- I commonly do come from a kind of Swans space now. It's good to have variety in a band. I look forward to exploring more of this group, and growing into the music more and more. I do like everything I have heard of the group so far.

Thank you for extra link, George!  I will enjoy checking that out.

Listening to the list now for the third time and hugely enjoying it, I realise that there is a good number of things I know and without voting for anything of these (despite some being very good), I vote for the vast majority of the other things as this is all so good. (I'm not quite done yet and of course anybody can speculate whether things I haven't voited for are those I already know or those that I don't like quite as much, of which there are very few...)
