RE: HIVE Challenge : 14 Albums That Changed my Life! an Off-the-Beat list without the Usual Suspects
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Nice selection! I would have chosen some of those, too. May be a different album, though, like in the case of Vangelis. Antarctica is nice, but I think he made more remarkable albums earlier.
And Kate Bush - the woman is a god damn genius! Perhaps you know that she really composed all her music by herself, and she was 16 or so when she started. The same goes for the choreography in the videos. The best video in my opinion is "Experiment #IV" - wow, what a trip! And the actors in it are top notch british actors of the time.
Massive Attack was widely known around 1990, when they had their huge success song "Unfinished Sympathy". That was in the Top 40 for some time, and was played on the radio and all.
But of course you are right: 10 or 15 mentions is not enough by far. There were so many names that shaped entire genres, like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Genesis, Brian Eno, Bob Marley and and and...
Unfortunatly the same cannot be said about the recent music. There are some very few exceptions, though, lets see where they will go in the future.
Didn't know about Kate Bush and her music was really hers. To be honest, I somehow expect artists to make their own music, but I guess the reality is quite different. In the electronic music business also ghost producing happens, but in the circles I'm in this is not necessarily considered a good thing.
You mentioned a bunch I would've also like to include, Tangerine Dream... Fanastic indeed. Brian Eno: In one of the curation rounds his 'music for airports' was filtered out; Such a great story around it!
When can we read about and listen the music of your top X? Or am I a bit to pushing now :)
I'll think about it. I didn't post much lately anyway, so perhaps its a good idea. :)
Don't think; Just do! hahaha When I started out writing my post yesterday, it gave me such great pleasure. Took me hours and hours to get it done, but hours well spend :)
The voice from Kate goes well together with Goosebumps
