I like music. A lot. But most of my collection is old... I haven't bought music in ages!
I have a bunch of stuff on my MyMusic wishlist, mind you, but again most of it is old.
Since I don't listen to the radio, I don't get much new input, so I rely on recommendations from friends.
One such (new) friend (Hi! If you are reading this!) sent me some tracks, and I have to say I'm blown away.
I didn't even know this music existed. What style is it? How do I find more artists in this style, if they even exist? So now I anxiously await my next budget cycle (and the closing of the house) to put in my order.
Check them out if you get a chance:
Apocalyptica, "Inquisition Symphony" album.
In a different vein, and still good:
Dirty Three, "Ocean Songs" album.
Goldfrapp, "Felt Mountain" album.
PJ Harvey, "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea".
There are more...
I am enriched by the friends that I have found. I am a most fortunate man.
