Well, actually, there's no video footage, I don't know where I got this idea from, but anyway, I've listened to the first three cds,
and it's really good. The playlists are pretty varied, with not too many repeated tracks. Some arrangements differ from the original songsso it
makes it pretty interesting. And the sound is great. I think it's worth the money, so far.aquagoat - 30-9-2018 at 08:42

In the second-hand store I often find stacks of records by local bands whose albums just didn't sell, and often I pick up one provided it
doesn't look like schlager. Today I found another one of those: "Waterloper" by Lichte Dichter. Singer sings in Dutch as added bonus in
local accent. But it's already one of the nicest packages I have.
BTW, I have Imported DED's CD and listened to some of it. It's interesting so far, but I'll give it a proper listen when I get back to

If you like that one, you could try the following record, Grindstone, but I would avoid the ones after that, they went into quite a different

Today I bought Therapy? - Trouble Gum, and Dimmu Borgir - For All Cid at the 2nd hander, and Dad bought me:"Frank Zappa - The broadcast
collection 1970-1981. Now playing disk 1 (of 5) and it begins with some crowd noise and a short interview. Sounds like a live from 1970, "The New
Maternity". It also has "Ahoy There!" and "Puttin' On The Ritz", so I'm guessing it's a bootleg.BBP - 20-5-2020 at 16:44
I already enjoyed New Maternity and Ahoy There!, but unfortunately Puttin' On The Ritz appears to be mono.
Currently playing Dimmu Borgir - pretty cool, it's in Norwegian... (I'm a glottophile. My phone has a lot of songs in Spanish, French,
German, Japanese of course, Dutch, and now I can add Norwegian songs. Kewl. :baldBBP - 12-6-2020 at 19:25
One of my father's colleagues dropped by to say hi and give him boxes of promotional material. Included are 4 CDs - one with Dutch classical
music from Sweelinck to Andriessen (so covering from 16th to 20th century), one contains string quartets from Niels W. Gade (never heard of him,
1817-1890) and a classic sampler that has music from Orlando di Lasso to Carl Orff, so that's another sampler with a wide span.
And the fourth one has a contemporary (read - 1996) selection of Japanese pop. Unfortunately there was no CD in the jewelcase, but I looked up the
tracks separately. The titles appear to be off.
Ken Muramatsu - Summer Lament The track title is named "Evening calm in the eyes" but I couldn't find that, so here's
something by the same author
Gontiti - Dirac in Zoo Also Black Ant's Life and History of Island by the same artist. Advertised in the booklet as: "The Most
Comfortable Music On Earth: Gontiti is instrumental acoustic guitar duo made up with Gonzalez Mikami and Titi Matsumura. Gontiti has already released
14 albums in Japan and some of them have released in over sea countries. Gontiti made many concerts all over the world such as Ney York, New Port,
Hawaii, Paris, Firenze, Bari Islands and so on. Gontiti is timeless. Gontiti is visual. Gontiti is international. Listen to Gontiti and find your
vacance time in Gontiti!
Coba is an accordeon player. Had a bit of a hard time finding his work. Couldn't find the Appetito that is on the disk but I did find his
rendition of Libertango which made me reach for any other Libertango.
I couldn't find their song "Cry Over You" but here's The Girl Can't Help It by Duke & The Summits.
Then there are some songs by Regine. One is "My sweet home" and the other is "Just one more time" - and apparently there is a
Philipino singer called Regine Velasquez who has songs by the same title.
Three songs by Hikaru Nishida: Go beep!, Go! Paradise and Omoide-ni tokenagara
I couldn't find "Funkaling" by Unlimited Edition. Here's the write-up in the CD booklet: "This unique pop jazz unit with 8
members was formed when intelligent bass player Tetsutaro Tamaki and Thomas Sawada met in 1992. Playing gigs at bases, clubs and halls in Okinawa and
after few member changes they have now become the line up as it is now, 5 boys and 3 girls. The band was scouted during the street live performance in
Shinjuku by Mercury Entertainment, and their major debut album "PLEASURE", intelligent yet catchy jazz pop music is about to strike the
Japanese market.
The last one is "My Christmas Coloring Book" but without artist names I cannot look it up.

Went to the second-hand-shop and came back with:
Okadan Acoustic Selection. Bought purely since it is Japanese. Now listening to "undaa ze bowa.." (under the boardwalk). Relaxing music
though.
The Immortal Coil - The Dark Age Of Love.
Haven't played it yet but when I opened it at the shop it named DAAU as contributing artists. Mind you it's DAAU after Buni Lenski's
parting, and I'm not too fond of their work without violin. We'll see... BBP - 4-8-2020 at 17:54

Indeed, me too. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I had an opportunity to work with ZERO on their last album - Blather. I'm
playing the baritone sax part on The World's Greatest Sinner, which you can barely hear. Kevin decided to bury it in the mix. Everyone I've
played it to can barely hear it at all, but he just denies it. ZERO does have some good FZ covers, but the problem I have with it is that Kevin is a
big prog rock fan and he just slathers his tracks with too much synth and uses big chunks out of old Yes and other classic prog rock bands. He has
access to a fairly large group of good, diverse musicians - if I had that access I wouldn't be plastering my recordings with synths.BBP - 22-8-2020 at 18:16

No I thought it was rather noisy. My sister liked them and bought tickets to see them live, but the person who was supposed to come with her

so loud it hurt my ears even in the foyer. Only concert I ever saw when I wore ear plugs.BBP - 3-8-2021 at 22:35
Beefed up my classical collection thanks to some second hand shopping:
Proba me Deus - Contantijn Huygens (1596-1687) and contemporaries
Contains 29 songs of the late renaissance to early baroque by famed lute player, composer, poet, diplomat, polyglot and architect and Father Of
Another Genius Christiaan Huygens, Constantijn Huygens Sr.
Now is the Merry Month Of May
Renaissance and baroque compilation - ranges from Dufay to Albinobi so does span at least 2 centuries but I'll never tire of Dufay.
Muziek in de Nederlanden
Compilation of Netherlandish music of the 1700s, composers like de Fesch, Ruppe, Hellendaal, Ruloffs, and Focking's sonata in D for flute and
basso continuo.
Magic, Myth & Music
Reader's Digest 2CD compilation because I can never have too many versions of Danse Macabre, with lots of equally evil-sounding well-known
pieces, Flying Dutchman, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Night on the Bare Mountain, Witches' Sabbath...
Erwin Schulhoff - ensemble works
Contains selections from stage music, three tangos, concerto for string quartet and winds, and suite for chamber orchestra.

Nice one, if you ever think of expanding - well it's like Zappa, you'll end up loving them all and I'm not sure if I can tell
beforehand which one is the most dear, but in general the second (Frizzle Fry, from their old record label and a bit unpolished but many good songs),
third (Sailin' the Seas of Cheese) and fourth (Pork Soda) and you'll have quite a few classics.
'Course, then there is Tales from the Punchbowl, with amazing songs like Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats, Southbound Pachyderm and
Over the Electric Grapevine, and there's the Brown Album (named after the colour brown) with the warm drum sound and classics like Kalamazoo and
Shake Hands With Beef, and there's Antipop that has its moments (I'll let Aqua do the advertising) , and there's the EP Animals Should
Not Try To Act Like People with five great songs, and there's there's the cover EP Miscellaneous Debris, and there's the cover album
Rhinoplasty with the best The THing That Should Not Be AND the best Scissor Man, and there's of course the live album that started it all, Suck
On This...
In a bout of 90s nostalgia I bought a Celtic music sampler, with Michael Flatley, Corrs, Clannad, ERA, Eimear Quinn and a bunch of others.
What surprises me is how dated the synths sound. Ya know, was looking for some Irish violins and you come back with sappy love drones. Still, it was
1996 when I first heard the Voice and that song still haunts me.BBP - 6-10-2022 at 17:13
n another bout of 90s nostalgia I bought a sampler - back in the 90s samplers were quite a hit, although occasionally of doubtful legality. Found the
Chartbusters compilation of August 1993 - has some familiar songs, Living on my own by Freddie Mercury and What's up by 4 non blondes and the
hilariously horrible then just annoyingly horrible 3 Little Pigs, but I bought it more because there was a song called Cool Corona on it. I've
noticed "Corona" was a sort of fashion word in the day meaning something along the lines of vibes, aura - it's not the first 90s song
I've found that sports Corona in the title.
If you want to look it up and give yourself a headache, it's by Nice Device.Calvin - 6-10-2022 at 21:02
