So, did you like the cimbalom solo?

To help this thread along, I would usually add a recommendation of my own now, but recently I've hit a bit of a dry patch with folk/world music. I haven't come across anything inspiring for a while. Sorry. :( |
I'll help you out some...

One of the secret pleasures of being a music nerd is hearing the surprise of other people when they realise what you're listening to. That happened to me while listening to JAJA - my son said, "What on earth was that music you were just playing!"
So thanks for that moment, rostasi, and thanks for uploading the JAJA tracks, which I really liked. They inspired me to look at a file of freak folk music that dankrsta posted here a while ago. A lot of the tracks in her file do a great job of conjuring up a spooky atmosphere, but then don't seem to go anywhere musically; as songs, they are about as satisfying as a cup of Monty Python tea, ("A cup of cold tea. Without milk. Or sugar. Or tea.") This track, by Fursaxa, is about the best one in her file imo:- __________________________________________________ ___________ Lilja: That girl's voice is excellent, and I love the way the cows - and the tinkling of the cowbells - slowly advance from the background. How will she get that effect when she's performing live I wonder? If she takes those cows on tour with her, they're really going to trash the hotel rooms. __________________________________________________ _____________ The pursuit for "the oldest song in the world" is pretty intriguing. Here are me, Stephen and misspoptart hot on the trail:- http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...ught-life.html |

Love Fursaxa btw. |
How odd, I was listening to versions of that Hurrian hymn non-stop last week! I came across it while searching for Sumerian (and Assyrian) music on youtube.

And sadly it seems a lot of freak folk veers a bit too close to forgettable coffee shop background music. |

Petula07, who used to post here ages ago, strongly recommended the band Altan Urag from Mongolia, and in return I recommended Andrey Vinogradov to her. I hope one of them kicks you in the gut, Chiomara - in the nicest possible way of course. ;) ..... P.S. Yes, surely there is some angry freak-folk genius who does more with the genre than play coffee-shop background music, or horror-movie soundtrack music, which is what it makes me think of usually. Perhaps I'll check out some more Fursaxa as Frownland speaks highly of them. |
