What music are you listening to now?

Just discovered "Arven" on Spotify

Adding to my collection of European and Scandinavian Symphonic Metal bands with classically trained female vocalists. This one is almost an all-girl band (token male drummer). My Sansa music player gets a near constant workout playing around the clock and it's virtually all symphonic metal... I got hooked bad [:D] I turn on the radio and the current "hot tracks" bore me quickly and I go back to my recorded music.

So thankful for Sony Sound Forge and YouTube Downloader.

And just discovered a new one that popped up on YouTube... this group is called Lyriel and is another German Symphonic Metal band (includes a cellist in the lineup).

Just shows that you are never too old to move in new directions! Anyone have any recommendations to share in this genre?

Another new discovery, though in a different vein entirely. The group is called Tuatha Dea and is Pagan Rock, I guess, lots of drums with a lot of exotic instruments plus your basic guitars (accoustic and electric). Some tremendous female vocalists too.

I connected via the Tor SciFi newsletter. It seems the group connected with an author, Alex Bledsoe, expressed their love for his Tufa trilogy (http://www.amazon.com/Alex-Bledsoe/e/B0 ... dp_epwbk_0) and asked him for permission to use the book for lyrics for some songs. He agreed and the result is absolutely amazing

There is a 3rd song but no Official Video yet and the live cuts on YouTube are very unpolished so I'm not adding them. The group is one of 10 finalists in the Hard Rock Cafe's 2015 world competition for best new band.

Seriously, this is one you have to watch! It is unbelievably awesome. [&o]

The title music from the new ITV series Home Fires is excellent. Hopefully itunes will sell this soon.

Howdy,

I've been listening to a lot of Hall & Oates this week. I can't get the song 'Everything Your Heart Desires' out of my head.

[Chickenboy]

Paul Oakenfeld's 1998 "Tranceport #1" in its entirety.

Trying to listen to it at the moment. It's over an hour long. Any stand out bits and their timing you can point me to?

EDIT: Ahh.... I hear Cafe Del Mar!

Wizards from Kansas, The full album is superb..very mellow. Overlooked classic I think.
