OT: Music

[Estimated_Prophet]

The best drum solo I've ever witnessed was Neil Peart 2-3 years ago at the Bell Centre. He had three drum solos and he was surrounded by drums. He had a drum pad that would switch the sound of his drums. One of his solos was an impressive Drum and Bass/Jungle style solo that was mesmerizing. Best drummer in the world in my opinion.

Definitely a great drummer but it is Ginger Baker for me.

Sad day today on account of disturbing news out of Vegas, but thankfully, there may be hope yet on the Tom Petty front. The many reports of his death early this afternoon have now been retracted: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...izes-falsely-reporting-Tom-Petty-s-death.html

 

[Runner77]

This time, it's official. Tom Petty passes away: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/entertainment/tom-petty-obit/index.html

There was something timeless about his music. And so distinctive. He remained relevant over many decades.

Another great one gone. RIP.

Digging this up for a good cause. Lemmy from motor head here in what sounds very Jack Bruce and cream before Hawkwind or Motorhead. Sam Gopal , the man not just the band, plays a unique percussion instrument. Interesting sound to be sure. I like this quite a bit.

 

[Le Tricolore]

The Lawrence Arms are so good.

Police drummer Stewart Copeland had this to say about Rush:

They're Canadian. They are the best guys on the planet. I don't know if being Canadian has anything to do with it, but Rush are one of the best hangs in show business. Back when my band, the Police, was a struggling punk rock [band], just trying to make noise and cause attention and throwing bombs wherever we could. Rush? That's some place where we threw bombs. ... And years later, it turns out Rush -- [the] guys in the band -- Neil Peart, is so Canadian that he didn't even mind. And we became really great friends in spite of the fact that we used to criticize his band when we were just trying to get attention. I think he's old and wise and Canadian enough to understand all that. They couldn't be nicer if they were New Zealanders, also a nation that only produces good people.

f***ing proud to be a Canadian. So many artists give us a good name. Thanks Rush!

Bonham has to be the cream of the crop though, although, he's not of this world anymore, so I can see the point.

If that was their 40th anniversary tour then I was at that same show. I happened to be going to Montreal at that time and decided to buy tickets. I arrived in town that afternoon, dropped off my bags and headed out to the Bell Centre. Summer of 2015 I believe it was. Peart's solo must have lasted a good 10 minutes.

 

[peate]

John Bonham did a 40 minute solo at the Forum in 1970 or 71. Everyone was getting a little antsy near the 20 minute mark, thought he would never stop, then he dropped his sticks and used only his hands for the next 15. Incredible performance.

I am a fan of British folk rock and Richard Thompson was a guitarist with Fairport Convention, then he went solo and later he worked with his wife Linda, after their divorce he went back to solo. His is an amazing guitarist both electric and acoustic and a favorite of many well known artists. His lyrics are usually very bleak and he has written many anti war songs and this one is one of the best I have ever heard. It's about a forest in France during WWI called "The Woods of Darney". It was pretty hard to pick out since he likes to switch keys a lot but eventually I learned it. Here's live version.

Cool.

Reminds me a bit of one of my favorite ballads, Al Stewart's 'Roads to Moscow' .

My favourite from them

This one by Vinny Paz is also a classic

Here are some of the best tracks in any EDM genre that have lasted in my iTunes playlist for a significant amount of time. Others are in my Music folder, awaiting to be rediscovered and heard. I can listen to any sub-genre of trance, deep house or melodic techno all day long. I feel like I'm in a dreamlike state when I listen to these tracks, and they remind me of amazing times spent with three of my closest friends partying like there was no tomorrow at our cottages and in Montreal. Tracks with no lyrics are preferable, as the music allows me to create my own story to and meaning of the song, though I do have some tunes featuring vocals I cherish, but they take up a small percentage of my folder.

Feel free to give me your honest thoughts. I doubt anyone on this forum has heard any of these tracks, but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Holy hell I am so getting behind the times when it comes to music. Aside from Cypress Hill, RHCP and Radiohead, I don't know a single band named on Osheaga's show list.

Although I have to admit I'm much more a heavyMtl type.

Went to so many shows between 16 and 24, I don't go to shows all that much nowadays, been der don dat kinda feeling for me.


On another note, despite my punk and rock leanings, I can't go through a day without Yo-Yo Ma's take on Bach's Prelude to Suite #1.

David August - Agatha (Original Mix) [Deep House]

I have just listened to the above track. It's attributed to David August and the title is Agatha. However, why does it say "Yoel Suban - Heaven At Night" when you view the clip?

It's a very particular genre. The music is soothing and as you aptly describe, "dreamlike".

I agree that tracks with no lyrics are the standard in this type of music however, there are acts that can really pull it off with vocals -- but it takes special vocals to make it work. Imagine a sensuous voice that blends in with the music, that also works.

I'm told there isn't much of a techno scene in Montreal. Best known venue that gets the biggest names is Stereo Bar and then you have Piknic Electronik. I've never attended but know people who do and they tell me the best techno scene is in Europe.

How about something along the lines of rock heavy prog?



The more I listen to this band, the more I'm liking.

For your question, it's simply a box that redirects you to the "Yoel Suban" track. You can press "x" on the top-right corner as you move your cursor over the artist name and title.

You are right. There isn't much of a techno scene in Montreal. This past winter, however, I went to see "I Hate Models" & "Stranger" at a location in Verdun. It was well organized, the venue was nice, and the sound system was more than adequate for the type of music playing. The event was presented by OCTOV (<--- Facebook page). Their next event is on August 17 if you're interested. Also, Igloofest has been a blast these past couple of years, with good House and Techno artists playing in Montreal.

As for great vocal Trance tracks, here are a few:

Solarstone - The Spell (ft. Clare Stagg) (Pulser Remix)


Headstrong - Tears (ft. Stine Grove) (Aurosonic Progressive Mix)


Above & Beyond - Love Is Not Enough (ft. Zoe Johnston) (Original Mix)


Yuri Kane - Right Back (Anton Firtich Remix)

I own a trove of Trance music, which I'll have to rediscover someday.
