Peter Bellamy - Both Sides Then

Peter Bellamy was a cruelly unappreciated artist who had a wonderful output of English folk.

Harrison Birtwistle - The Triumph of Time

How to draw an image for these sounds by Harrison?

It creeps on you, there is a great tension. A lot of classical music lures me to the freedom of abstracted landscapes.

Arvo Part - Collage and Andrew WK - Mother Of Mankind

Just sublime!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH8oLn5Avp8

There is so much more to Andrew WK than the fast party songs.

This man has range, these are tracks from Mother Of Mankind, a very strange collection of sounds where Andrew seems to use a different musical genre for every track.

Genesis - The Return Of The Giant Hogweed

Hogweed was a highlight of a Steve Hackett show I saw a few years back. I never thought I'd ever hear this live as it is a 'dads' sort of thing prog rock I suppose! Or is that grandad?

Here marked in the latin heracleum mantegazzianum  'For Kew'.

A scary live version, my dad really used to scare me with this song belting out.

PJ Harvey - River Anacostia

This song from the latest album is so inspiring! It is the first time since the last Portishead album years ago that a track made me feel a bit sick it was so fine.
