French Radio & Television Orchestra - Daphnis et Chloe (Ravel). Came across this while looking for a suitable piece by Ravel. Don't know a huge amount about the dude, except that in an Ozric Tentacles interview on the Radcliffe & Maconie show, they requested a piece by Ravel and said he was the Ozric Tentacles of his time which got me intregued!
Joe Meek - I hear a new world. One of the first studio tinkers i think
Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium. Have they done any better than this?
The answer is that i haven't heard any better albums by them
The Mummers - Tale to tell. I find it hard to listen to, knowing that the bloke behind their sound took his own life. Was going to start a thread about music one finds one cannot listen to anymore because of tragic circumstances... but didn't.
Mokira - Album
Mugstar - Lime
LAMF - Ambient Metal
Mark Lanegan Band - Bubblegum
KLF - The White Room
Black Tempest/Dead Sea Apes - The Sun Behind the Sun. Got my copy on Thursday and been listening to it a fair bit. Great stuff. For some reason the music reminded me of the Soundtrack to the first Twilight film! You probably will take that as an insult, but that was one of the stronger elements to that film, which is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I probably wont get much unsung kudos for saying that, but i'm still putting it out there!
*Oh yeah, i really enjoyed listening to the BBC6music Prom in association with radio 3 - did anyone else listen to it? Varese and Berio performed by the London Sinfonietta, arrangements by Anna Meredith, and mingled in with performances by Laura Marling and the Stranglers backed up by the Sinfonietta. Well worth checking out on the iplayer
