More Music reviews
Oct. 17th, 2004 05:49 pmSleepytime Gorilla Museum - Sleepytime(Spirit is a Bone). Aaah, prog rock, you gotta love it. This was actually rather good, but still sounds a lot like more recent Queensryche.
Lorenzo Arruga Dave Lombardo - preludio allaprna amara. A harpsichordist, floutist, soprano, and Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo play some Vivaldi. It isn't, actually that odd - the whole thing works quite well except when the drum solo kicks in. The rest of the time the drum counterpoints the rest of the music very nicely and gives it a bit of an edge. It's also inspired me to play some Apocalyptica, another point in it's favour.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - singing in Islamic Qawalli style, with tradition instruments backing him. Interesting, but not terribly gripping. His voice is good, but doesn't seem amazing to me. Interestingly, a collaboration with Peter Gabriel (Taboo) on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack worked much hetter for me. Possibly I just need to give it a few more listens and see if it grabs me more.
Ulali - Mother. Native American chanting. Actually rather hypnotic. I'm tempted to pick up some more of this.
Balkan: Mysterious Voices Of Bulgaria - Gospodi Pomiluj. Balkan chanting. Even better. Great atmospheric chanting with deep background singing. More of this too. Cheers to
darkoshi for both of the above.
More on Tuesday, when I'm next at home.
