My Favorite Music

[dauer]

Since this has degraded into a "music I like" thread(not a bad thing):

I like fusion; mclaughlin, cobham, etc.

I like klezmer, epecially when it's jazz influenced.

Jazz is good. I need to get some more jazz albums. Wait, kids call them CDs these days.

Metal, both older and lighter stuff like King's X and heavier stuff like Children of Bodom, Meshuggah, SOAD, Primus. But I really love Nightwish, which features an amazing operatic female vocalist.

I also like listening percussion for example drumming circles. I like listening to niggunim (not all the time. It gets repetitive. They're wordless songs which allow a person to connect directly to God without words and sound like "la la la ya ya ya" etc.)

I like Blues. Forgot that.

But I haven't been listening to much music lately, lately extending into the far reaches of thedistant past past past...

My favorite music is classical.... It's just so soothing to the mind and can really help you relax after a long and stressful day... Andrea Bocelli is my favorite artist of all... He also brings a spiritual flare to his music, incorporating lyrics of love, peace, happiness, and did i mention love? "Andrea" is my personal favorite album, his new one of the 20 he's put out throughout his elustrious carrer... http://www.andreabocelli.com/

Dauer, are you familiar with John Zorn's Masada project? I've only The Circle Maker set, but aim to eventually expand my collection (along with a thousand other discs I can't live without....)

Another formal composition, but highly accesable to jazz buffs, is the Kronos Quartet's recording of Osvaldo Golijov's The Dreams and Prayers of Issac the Blind.

That's about the limit of my knowledge on the subject--I'd be interested in hearing about some of your favorite jazz/klezmer material--

hi all!

I like classical especially Venessa Mae. I like Bach and Motzart and so on. However I like the total opposite of this music as well I like Heavy Metal like Slipknot, Static X, Linkin park. I also like a fusion of both which you can get from bands such as Nightwish.
