I like Elephant Riders a lot. We listen to it a lot at work, and my love for them sort of grew from there.

yeah, i was just hoping for someone to make a sweeping generalization about me based on the other bands I mentioned. Although my mullet is fabulous.

have another go at my top artists from 2 weeks ago, which more accurately represents my current state of habitual listening:

Architects

Periphery
Cynic

I love how Cynic is on there, and then two bands whose names are also Cynic songs.

Damn, how can I pass by a chance to be pigeonholed and insulted in one swell foop? I'll stick to performers over songs, because I can't begin to pick a top 10 songs.

1) Imogen Heap
2) Chemical Bros.
3) Ella Fitzgerald
4) Thievery Corporation
5) Tori Amos
6) Bobby McFerrin (EXCEPT for "Don't Worry, Be Happy"...argh! He's never done anything else like THAT. He learned.)
7) Annie Lennox

Anna Nalick
9) Steely Dan/Donald Fagan
10) Alison Krause/Union Station

Yeah, that's relatively representative.

...
I am trying to get more classical music scores into the repitoire, would anyone be able to advise me as to where to get them?

It's really a crapshoot. I suggest just going to a store and picking up CDs, because it's hard to find torrents of anything like that - it's not popular enough among people who use torrent programs.

Anyway, you could check out French romantic composers, such as Debussy, Godard, Ravel, and Saint-Saens. I find their compositions to be a little less uptight than what most people imagine when they think of "classical" music, and it's more freeform and expressive. Godard is the most standard-sounding of the four, I think.

For particular pieces, I love Godard's Suite de Trois Morceaux, Op. 116 (learning to play it at the moment), Debussy's Syrinx and his Prelude A L'Apres-Midi dun Faune, Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals, etc etc.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #369 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 12:10 »

In all honesty going to a store and picking them up is ultimately more economical. The one near my house has a bunch of stuff in cardboard sleeves for 2$ each, mostly the big names, but a few others here and there. Your other option is to leave the computer on overnight downloading a concert by one composer (because the vast majority of classical rips are in FLAC [upwards of 250 MB at the least], and anything that is not Beethoven, Bach or Mozart is not going to have many seeds), and raise your power bill slightly more than it would probably cost to pick up a few of those cheaper-packaged CD's.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #370 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 12:57 »

Yeah, used record/CD stores are the way to go for classical for sure. The one near my house has big classical vinyl boxsets (like Beethoven's complete piano sonatas and so on). You can load up on a lot of the big names for very little money and support your local record store in the process! Woah, a win-win!

you only like metal, but occasionally leave your computer on playing non-metal music with the speakers turned off so you can seem more "cultured" without actually having to listen to something that's not about satanic rituals.

basically, you are a silly goose
