Your favourite listenings......

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Pinch - another way to search is via the artist rather than the composer - for the Vivaldi, try searching for Andreas Scholl for similar pieces. As you say, Vivaldi was very prolific and you will receive a diverse range of hits if you search for him.

The other composer that is quite good for 'chilled' music is Max Richter - 'On the Nature of Daylight' is my current favourite:

There are several 'loops' of his music up to 2hrs long on YT as well

Thanks Stevie, and apologies for the very delayed acknowledgement. I haven't been on here for ages.

Thanks also for the link. I've just listened to it and it's now in my Playlists - beautiful. 8-)

A classic epic from the world of heavy rock.

The fabulous Iron Maiden.

An element I miss about these graceful machines is...

...the awesome sound system.

Driving empty on an open motorway in the early hours with the sound system set just right, is pretty darn good. 8-)

I don't like to say it, but nothing they've done since has come close to Seventh Son. There have been flashes of the old brilliance here and there, but nothing sustained.

Still, their best work was 30+ years ago and they're still going. Impressive longevity by any account.

So pleased to see Max Richter getting praise and becoming more widely known. He was my lecturer at uni for my Music For Film composition class, he's a lovely man.

I've been listening to lots of Richard Dawson (Nothing Important & 2020 mostly) and JJ Cale.

Haha... there was me thinking I'm the only Maiden fan in here.
:obscene-drinkingcheers:

Yes, you could be right. My intro to Iron Maiden was on the release of album The Number of the Beast back in the early 80s during the wonderful biking days - the leather, the doss rag and patchouli oil - they were the days. I bought the album and loved it - still do. In fact, one of my favourite tracks of their complete collection is Hallowed Be Thy Name from The Number of the Beast album.

I have never got bored with this amazing band. 8-)

:D Now that would be something, and probably in the region of half a million squid.

The Neoplan is a wonderful coach too. I drove one on tour down to the West Country early this year before the first lockdown. Not as posh as the camper version, but a very comfortable touring coach.

I've never heard of Max Richter until StevieB posted above - very glad he did.

Here's The Vile Stuff. Not sure what to make of this just yet - certainly very interesting and good to see the old Etch A Sketch still in use. 8-)

In my MP3 library I have 570 'items'.

My Windoze Madia Player is set on random, so I never know what will play.

Yesterday this one was selected.

Great listening 8-) 8-)

ABBA - Royal Philharmonic

Came across this bluegrass by accident, three youngsters with mum behind, the quality of playing is superb, particularly the Fidler and at two minutes 25 the little girl starts to dance – quite something.

Hi Andy, I’m not signed up to it but even so when I copy the link at the top when watching YouTube and paste it in messages (iPhone) it puts the full link as you showed, not sure why didn’t this time on here. Ian

Branson seems to be a hotbed of bluegrass, Checkout the Petersens.

I don't normally comment on this as the music is often quite different from what I listen to! However seeing Max Richter mentioned, I knew the name but didn't know his music as classical isn't something I often listen too. But the other week I listened to his latest work on Radio 3 preceded by an earlier piece, both incredible pieces of music and well worth a listen;

I thought I'd have a quick listen to that - but no, you definitely need to set some time aside for that one ! Wikipedia mentions post-minimalism, and I'm definitely getting Philp Glass influences there. If that is your thing, how do you get on with Ludovico Einaudi - Seven days walking for example

Einar "Kvitravn" Selvik performs at the Oslo viking ship museum. Plenty of wood to look at, including this weird and very basic looking instrument in the first piece - what is that ?

I like New Order, disco house, cheesy pop, and random rock songs.

I feel like I shouldn't have posted this.
