Photo: This album was heavily anticipated by me and my live in girlfriend at the time. She had turned me on to Tori around the time the second one came out. Moving to harpsichord was rather bold. The lyrics were as interesting and moving as ever. And the harpsichord really worked for me.

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”

Photo: THE SONGS OF DISTANT EARTH is an enhanced CD. In addition to 70 minutes of music that can be played on any CD player, it includes a CD-ROM track that allows users to travel through a futuristic city. The CD-ROM track also includes a video clip for &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Let There Be Light.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; These multimedia functions are accessible only on Macintosh systems. THE SONGS OF DISTANT EARTH is loosely based on Arthur C. Clarkes book of the same title. The Songs of Distant Earth blend together two motifs crafted through Mike Oldfields atmospheric music. (Both outer space and inner space under water) are the themes of this album, but Oldfields synthesized artistry comes up short during the course of the 17 tracks, mainly because of the intermittent talking and unnecessary vocabulary that quickly becomes irksome and ineffective. About the music, it is usually Mike Oldfields differentiation of rhythms or styles on a song to song basis that makes his music thought-provoking and fresh. On this album, the same rhythm lurks through half of the songs, with only smidgens of add-on instrumentation to elevate its flow. Absent is the freewheeling percussion pulses, or the onslaught of strings that so often shower his music. Instead, each track seems flat as his keyboard work comes off gray and bland. Even a few sudden bursts of tempo become short lived, as the pace always falls back to its straight-lined origin. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke, Oldfield tries to capture the wonder and mystery of the stars and the sea through washes of synthesizer, but his attempt at capturing both themes could have benefited from a multitude of other instruments, as his work usually includes. ~ Mike DeGagne Includes liner notes by Arthur C. Clarke.

I was searching for the latest albums released in 2013. As enjoying music is my favourite past time I am having a very nice collection of these albums. I am not having this in my collections. So, please feel free for sharing some more attachments for downloading this into my collections. Thanks in advance.

 Italian jazz musicians, Tino Tracanna and Roberto Cecchetto,  encounter an electronics wizard and hip hop, Bonnot
'acoustic sounds, electric shock, electronic devilry, strings, vocals, rap, spoken words, vinyl cling abused from scratch in a dance of a thousand streams of passions and emotions'
I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Marcus Strickland.  I have about a dozen live tracks that I downloaded for free from his website a few years back that I am listening to.  They don't seem to be there anymore.  Almost 3 hours worth of sax-y goodness.

Jiro Inagaki with a very different rhythmic take on Kool & the Gang's classic "Funky Stuff".
