Begins with discordant crashing noises; followes with some sort of waltz/latino song. (Disclaimer: this description might not be entirely accurate, since I know neither genre well.) Generally romantic and harmonic feeling, even tho there's some weird organ effects around the middle. Ends with more discordand crashing, but this time it seems to be some sort of a segway cut off. Well, the beginning might be that too, but the violin line seems more cut-off in the end.
I could probably make more of this if I knew the lyrics, but they're in some Romance language (out of which I speak none).
Generally, the idea appears pretty ballsy, humorous even; I could even imagine this being a "surprize" piece amidst an otherwise industrial album - or maybe this is just from a waltz/latino album which for some reason integrates some avant-gardish undertones. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but I can't find anything wrong in it.
I give 7.2/10.
To review: Mike Oldfield - Embers
(almost the complete track. All sounds have been produced using guitars)
Jedit:
Error 403: Forbidden.
Tropylium:
Damn. OK, try via this link: http://www.groove.nl/sound.php?letter=o
(it's from the album "Guitars")
timehat:
That Gal Costa album is from '68. It would probably be classified as Tropicalia which is basically Brazilian psych-pop, the most well known band of that genre being Os Mutantes.
Mike Oldfield: Embers
The fact that you said that all the sounds were produced using guitars implied that some sort of trickery would be occuring, and such is evidently true within the first few seconds of the piece: sustained flute sounds, little squirty synth noises, etc. This all rests side-by side with some tasteful classical guitar melodies. The track has a nice feel to it, (reminds me of Camel somewhat) but doesn't seem to go anywhere (just a sample?). I think this would work really well as a segue between two more active pieces.
This being said, I'll rate what is here: 6.5/10
I choose Antonio Carlos Jobim - Triste

This is really funky. Very laid back, the piano and sax play off each other well, and the backing acoustic guitar is upbeat and catchy without intruding on the solo parts of the song. This sounds exactly like the kind of thing you'd expect to hear in a nice bar or coffee shop, it's busy enough to hold your attention but never overly so. Could do with being a bit longer and it's not my usual style but otherwise I got nothin' bad to say about this piece. 9/10
