Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Julian Cope
Ben Chasny (Six Organs, Comets on Fire, Rangda etc)
Hector Berlioz

Now the last on the list is a recent discovery and may be a cop out but after Chasny emerged atop lots of other possibilities as a 2nd choice, the 3rd was more problematic so I plumped for Berlioz. I've been collecting quotes from his memoirs:

On conducting his Mass of the Dead: "The chorus received the orchestral onslaught without flinching; the fourfold fanfare pealed forth from the four corners of the stage, the air shook with the roll of ten pairs of drumsticks and the tremolo of fifty bows unleashed..."

On conducting his own music in general:
"His right arm unleashes tremendous chords which go off like explosions...And in the long adagios the bliss of floating on a lake of serene harmony while a hundred soft voices intertwined chant his love songs... If he has felt his heart thrill to the touch of the poetry and the melody of the music, has sensed within him the secret fire that is the soul's incandescence, his goal is attained, the heaven of art is opened to him..."

Rock n Roll!
