Harpsichords..

(1/4) > >>

TheProph:
Hey kids.  I've got a sudden craving for music involving cellos, violins and possibly harpsichords, and I figured here might be a good place to seek it out.  Anybody got any suggestions?

Robbo:
Sure you know about Apocalyptica already. There are a load of Goth/Doom bands that have violins and cellos...but I have no idea if you want to hear that  sort of thing.

TheProph:
I'm thinking more stuff like Rasputina.

Inlander:
Bah!  Vile harpsichord!  I once played a piano which was in a horrible state of disrepair: it sounded remarkably similar to a harpsichord.  THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE!!!

EDIT: Okay, now I've got that out of my system I'll say something useful: are you after classical music?  If you are, it sounds like you're going for a Baroque kind of sound.  In that case - and hell, even if that's not the case - do yourself a favour, pick up a copy of Bach's B Minor Mass.  The version conducted by John Eliot Gardiner and played by the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists is jaw-dropping.  This is one of the greatest works of classical music ever written, and everyone should own a copy.

KharBevNor:
SOPOR AETERNUS AND THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS

That is all.

Well no. For albums, I recommend 'Ich Töte Mich Jedesmal Aufs Neue...' and 'Dead Lovers' Sarabande'. For songs 'Va(r)nitas, Vanitas... (...Omnia Vanitas)', 'Hades Pluton', 'The Sleeper', 'Saltatio Crudelitatis', 'The Inexperienced Spiral Traveller', 'Holy Water Moonlight', 'Beautiful Thorn', 'There Was A Country By The Sea' and 'The Feast of Blood'.

Hell, just get it all. Anna/Varney rules.
