silent thunder Posted May 18, 2020 Dead Can Dance were touring again this year after many years hiatus, I bought tickets to surprise my wife and son for her birthday. Last time we saw them was 15 years ago, my wife pregnant with our son standing in front of me @ The Hollywood Bowl, me with my hands resting on her belly... etheric, transportive, magickal. Every time Lisa Gerrard sang, Connor would start gyrating in the womb. and of course Ms Gerrard's tones are so perfectly matched in timbre by the resonant baritone of Brendan Perry 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taomeow Posted May 19, 2020 Matter of fact, all of it. I remember that foreshadowing of nostalgia for the 20th century when it was only projected onto the 21st by these 1981 guys. "Remember the good old 1980s? When things were so uncomplicated?" How insightful they were... and how naive. "You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone... return with what you've learned, they'll kiss the ground you walk upon." If only. Return with what you've learned and they'll do it all over again anyway. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favorite examples of each: If you like these genres, are you familiar with Richard Dorfmeister? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc benway Posted May 20, 2020 I don’t know him well but a friend played some of his stuff at a party and it was sort of ambient electronic with a nice reggae beat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted May 22, 2020 More distinctly now, the connections emanate with even more accute distinction, due to the physical isolation. Where connection abides... no amount of physical distance can create true separation or diminish authentic connection. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golden Rain - I did a gamalan workshop years back and got to play in one , the guy that directed the workshop ( the head of the gamalan orchestra of Sydney Uni ) was very proud of this piece , it was written by his teacher and won acclaim . However we never tried to play it ! Phew ! The beginner piece we did was complex enough for me . Each part for the individual isnt that complex , but when it comes together .... WOW ! ( I chose the two largest gongs to play .... being more of a bass/ rhythm/beat type ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
