I really like vocal trance music, its basically progressive trance with female vocals.

I used to like a wide variety of music types but after I found this online radio website "www.digitallyimported.com" or simply "di.fm" I have pretty much started listening exclusively to their vocal trance channel.

I also really like

Paul Oakenfold

fisherspooner

daft punk

infected mushroom

GiGi D'Agostino

Boards of Canada

 

Its weird but I really don't enjoy "rock" anymore, anything with just normal instruments is pretty boring and bland compared to the incredible range of sounds that come from "electronica" style music. Especially when combined with great female vocals.

I really like the genres: "house" "Goa-Psy" "trance" "Euro-Dance"

and I still enjoy classical music too

Bah, he's no Roger Waters.

 

You admire Roger Waters for his vocal talent?

 

I'll admit he's an interesting vocalist with a unique voice. I could say the same thing about Geddy Lee. They certainly don't rank among the foremost in my personal pantheon of vocalists though. I'd rate Gilmour higher than both.

 

David Gilmour has a less... shall we say abrasive voice, and in his heyday had one of the most beautiful falsetto voices ever.

 

For example: Fat Old Sun and The Narrow Way (both songs he wrote, by the way)

 

But, just for contrast: Waters vocals on If (particularly if you've ever heard him perform it live) were awesome

 

Roger Waters doesn't exactly have a falsetto voice, at least as far as I've ever heard him sing. He has excellent range, but when it comes to higher pitch, his greatest talent is probably his girl-like scream. Which is pretty damn cool, at least in songs like Careful With that Axe Eugene and Run Like Hell

...but hopefully not Seamus

 

Leave it to Floyd to torture a dog in the name of music

 

Lol... :D

 

 

Funny, because I've never really known the name of the songs as I burned it on a CD and so I just know that Tracks 1, 2 and 6 are my favorites.

 

Bascule already covered this, but just so you know:

 

Song 1: One of these days

 

Song 2: A pillow of winds

<-- This is probably the track I appreciate most on the album, but one of these days sets an amazing tone for the album

 

Song 6: Echoes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ_QVfT_wM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sein6WnbY0&feature=related <-- this one starts out pretty heavily and mid-song... definitely do part 1 above first and/or lower speaker volume.

Cracked it -shit my fingers are sore.

Get this: I can 'hear' it now, I must have heard it before back in the dim dark.

Cool huh? On the hit list on my brain station after all.

Paranoid Android...by Radiohead, live in 1997 - performed almost note for note to the studio version...for Radiohead fans, this is a big favorite - the penacle of the Ok Computer album and really smacks of Floydian influence.

 

 

Thanks for the Floyd links iNow, I enjoyed them with my coffee and, um, peace pipe...

Steady rhythm matched to great lyrics are what nails me. This reaches the power of poetry, which is deep and even visual. Dire Straits: "Won't you tell him I'm callin', just to wish him well; won't you give him my number, Hearthbreak Hotel". Two moods of Paul Simon: "Trust your intuition, it's just like going fishin', you cast your line out... hope you get a bite. I'm gonna watch you shine, I'm gonna watch you grow; I'm gonna paint a sign so you'll always know, that as long as one and one is two, ther will never be a father loves his daughter more than I love you." This, to a lovely island rhythm. Then, "How can you be a Christian, how can you be a Jew? How can you be a Moslem, Hindu, how can you, how can you?" Hard rockin'" Part of me enjoys structure and change. Yet a monotone or chanting can take me places. I'm just hearing a tune called "Satellite Radio" that goes nowhere except I with an occassional IV chord. I love it. One of the most moving slow blues I witnessed in person, locally. It was as slow as the Mississippi heat and went almost nowhere. The singer tore my heart out; there was a solitary move to the V chord in the last bar. You felt the Delta and the humid heat waves. It is not easy to play that slowly.

The TOYES, STRANGE ANIMALS. (I like even the two headbanger tunes.) Fun stuff: "Beam me up, I want to be abducted tonight... I wanna fly your ship, one time around the sun, one time around the moon, one time around the Earth, stars, Venus and Mars. Honey I'll be home soon." This album touches deep Spirit and kicks.

(not for the weak minded as it May contain subliminal messages!)

 

That guy in the Deathstars really sounds like the singer in Sisters of Mercy.

 

This was another classic, but a completely different era, of course. I can't believe how cheesy this song starts out.

 

 

2 thumbs up for Voodoo Child.

O_o I didn't know you listen to such quality music. :) Rammstein and Prodigy are one of my favorite bands, I especially like Rammstein's Keine lust and Mein teil and Prodigy's Diesel Power and Breathe.
