The TIPF Album

[Korky]

Glad you enjoyed, Chris. I think they're Australian and I discovered them in a second-hand book/CD shop in California.

Dead Can dance - now where the hell do I know that name from.........off to trawl through the NAS to see if I own some.

[Korky]

I can't remeber the name of the female singer, but I'm pretty sure she did those wonderful ethereal vocals in the film Gladiator.

The female singer is Eliza Carthy from the Carthy/Waterson dynasty.

The female singer is Eliza Carthy from the Carthy/Waterson dynasty.

 

Really? I thought she had her own band?

[Korky]

I meant the singer with Dead Can Dance, not Eliza Carthy who's the daughter of Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson.

 

Is this getting confusing?

Lisa Gerrard ?

[Korky]

It is indeed Lisa Gerrard - thanks, Fuzz.

La Femme

Wish I knew French

This has just a nod towards Kraftwerk

[Black Pearl]

Got that on the iPhone - good late night dog walk music.

[fuzzyedges]

What la femme ?

Not good for driving too hyper

[Black Pearl]

Driving music depends on my mood, time of day, the road or just a whim - dog walk music tends to be something unusual or interesting to lose myself in for an hour.

Current favourite being Koan - Two Moon Butterflies

[Korky]

Still makes me laugh.........

 

[Korky]

Time we had a tune........ A wonderful Scots band who have played together since forever. Old Blind Dogs.........

 

[Korky]

Time for a song, so here's two for the price of one with the late, great John Martyn.

 

The first is from 1973 when he was young and pretty and the second is from around (I'm guessing) 2007 when he was wheelchair-bound and his illness and his somewhat chaotic lifestyle had got the better of him. John died in January 2009.

Just like Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen matured like cask whisky, I think I prefer the older cantankerous John Martyn - his voice has a deep rich timbre that suits his songs perfectly.

No comment

You culture vulture, you (he said, hastily concealing the Pärt tracks in his own iTunes, and trying to conceal his nods of agreement .. no, he and Tavener and (if the occasion is right) Reich are just perfect 'getting on with things' music  )

I love Steve Reich's and to be honest was going to post one of his or possibly a Philip Glass track.

On whim this time it was Pärt but you never know.

My Sons Band, Crimson Ties, Have their first Album out now

 

This is a cover from the Darkness 

 

Steve

[ChrisLumix]

Which is your son, Steve - is he the lead singer? If so, he has a fine falsetto, and I bet he could yodel a treat!

 

Good luck to 'em - there's a lot of competition out there.
