Music on both sides

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

pink floydand i've just started to get into sigur ros and massive attack and delerium, but i suspect they'll all make the list too. though my favourites may look a little narrowed, i've got a rather impressive record collection, somewhere in the range of 3-400 records (yes, vinyl records) including everything from hendrix to the cure to slipknot, beastie boys, led zeppelin, and santana. even linkin park (shuttup!).i'll occasionally listen to classical as well, but favour piano heavily. i mostly like chopin and rachmaninoff and glenn gould.generally, if it's not country, stupid rap, or tacky r+b, i'll listen to it. even if it's acoustic zydeco speed metal, jazz bagpipes, or latvian nostril chant, as lore put it. (ok, probably not jazz bagpipes... )

i have a recording of this and no. 3 actually played by rachmaninoff himself.i can never, ever, listen to another performance of either piece. anyone else playing his music just... well.. you can hear that they're struggling. he just does the most ludicrously complicated things on piano so effortlessly...

i personally like 3 better, but that's just me. they're both really good concertos.

i don't really listen to enough classical or baroque to be able to pick any at the moment.although, i've always liked mozart's piano concerto in a minor (k 488) for some reason. probably the simplicity. best i can do off the top of my head.

i listened to fallen a few times. honestly, i listen to any of the three linkin park albums alot more than fallen, and that's saying alot.having heard the all of the demos, it just sounds like they were in the hands of a bad producer. the strings, in my opinion, were a very bad decision. normally i love strings, but these were just done badly. they did too many, and in an octave that conflicted with amy's voice most of the time. they would have done better sticking with vocal harmonies. (compare the bring me to life demo with the final version)they also should have stuck with the drum machine, instead of opting for the other drum machine, josh freese (of apc, tapeworm, and just about everything else, including the country bears). keeping the synthy post-industrial sound would have made them fairly unique, and put them in a category with nine inch nails and vast.instead, they went for standard ho-hum power-chord rock, lots of guitar, and simplified their work down into a concise formula. they used to have a very capable producer -- ben moody. since he's gone now, i have the feeling i won't like any of their new stuff in the slightest. remove the chemistry, remove the sound i like, why bother?although, origin and the 2001-2002 demos still get regular rotation in my cd player.and i heard it was the guitarist from seether. if it's the old guitarist from bizkit, wes borland, that might perk my interest some. that man knows what he's doing. but i'm more eager to hear some more from him and danny lohner of nin. i'll listen to hip-hop occasionally, these two included. i'm more fond of trip-hop (downtempo, or whatever) however, including massive attack and portishead.This message has been edited by Arachnophilia, 07-11-2004 06:54 AM

he worked with her on three songs, and from what i hear, one made it to the album. i'm gonna see if i can find out which it is and download it. (no sense in buying an avril lavigne album, i don't care how cute she is)as for ev rumors, i haven't really been following much. i lost interest when ben left.
