Is the last minute or so of 'God Only Knows' from Pet Sounds when those PERFECT harmonies go off in all directions and that AMAZING rat-a-tat snare drum goes goes off. Just had to get that off my chest. gcw | ||

No, it's that moment about 20 seconds into Ash's 'Girl From Mars' when the universe comes to an end and is then reborn in a blaze of silver light. However there's probably a direct line of influence between the one and the other. Great music producers seem to be unusually liable to madness – think of Brian Wilson, Phil Spector, Lee Perry, Kevin Shields... It has to do with the power to control sound, combined with the endless search for an impossible perfection. It's diffwerent for musicians because they play in real time, whereas producers work in an elastic and virtual time bound only by an avoidable outside world. | ||

Hi, I'm new to the board after stumbling across it way past midnight a couple of days ago. This felt like as good a place to start as any so, hello everyone. And the entirety of Scott Walker's Boychild from the sublime Scott 4 is my personal favourite... musical bliss. | ||

Some great choices there, chaps (esp. Zed and Simon). For me, the epitome of how wonderful 'pop' music can be is the string of singles Curve made in the early '90s ('Horror Head', 'Fait Accompli', etc.). On the subject of great music, I've been listening again to some oldies that never seem old - stuff like 'Power in the Darkness' by the Tom Robinson Band (remember them?), 'The Crack' by the Ruts, 'The Scream', 'Juju' and all the other Banshees stuff, 'Inflammable Material' by Stiff Little Fingers, 'Machine Gun Etiquette' by The Damned, 'Entertainment' by Gang of Four, all the Buzzcocks albums, The Raincoats, Liliput... all brilliant stuff. Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with today's bands, but I don't think they make 'em like this any more. I'm so glad I grew up with such great music as an impressionable teenager. | ||

Hi Simon, great to see you here! Scott Walker's 'Boy Child' is indeed superb, as is 'Big Louise' (let's hear it for Wally Stott's inspired production), though I have to admit a passion for 'No Regrets' – not a Scott song but man does it sound like one, and the repeated use of 'alone' as a rhyme is a stunning lyrical device. I sang it on a slightly chaotic office karaoke night a few months ago. | ||

A partial list of musical moments that make me tingle (for various reasons) wouth have to include: the point about 4 minutes into Sigur Ros's 'Glosoli' where it stops being all coy and etherial and starts to make eardrums bleed; The start of 'Loud Love', Soundgarden; The long instrumental section of Tori Amos's 'Yes, Anastasia'; Lisa Hannigan singing the words "Your mouth, your mouth, your mouth" a minute or so into the Damien Rice track 'I Remember'; Acen's 'Trip II the Moon Part 2 (The DarkSide) (especially the beginning); the first ten seconds of Bat For Lashes 'Moon and Moon' - and then the next ten, and then the next, and then every other second all the way to the end. | ||

| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.37.199.45 |
The searing riff that opens the Jesus and Mary Chain's 'Happy When It Rains'. The rest of the song is pretty good too, but those first ten seconds are beyond words. The last verse of Van Morrison's 'Ballerina', when his voice breaks down and soars at the same time. Despair and ecstasy struggling and finally coalescing into some kind of ability to go on. The ending of Joy Division's 'Twenty-four hours', a song composed largely of middle eights, when the singer re-engages with the melody and brings it all together, and you realise what the end result of that painful psychic integration is. I love music, me.  | ||

Thanks to all for being so welcoming here. I know Joel pretty well, although we haven't caught up in a ridiculously long time, and we should remedy that! And yes, from Birmingham. Black Static and Crimewave seem to be the adopted homes for most of my short fiction of the last few years. Simon4 is fine. I've been called worse! Although Mr Vein disturbs me greatly... Oh, and a few more magical music moments: Serge Gainsbourg - The Ballad of Melody Nelson Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis Julie London - Cry Me A River Leonard Cohen - Suzanne ("They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever...") Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On And any amount of Nick Cave, Nick Drake, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and Stina Nordenstam. I could go on, but I'll restrain myself... | ||

She's a Swedish singer-songwriter; a bit of an aquired taste, really. Her first two albums were quite jazzy, but after that they became a bit more avant-garde. She also has the kind of voice you either love or hate: sort of like a little girl locked up in the attic for too many years... | ||

Welcome, Simon A, Simon 4 or Mr Vein, whichever it's to be! Music is like an unbreakable code to the heart. It's almost as though, if you could unpick the magic of each song that moves a person, you could understand them fully. Just a handful of things reducing me to emotional pulp these days: Amy Lee's cover of "Sally's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas (along with nearly everything else by Evanescence) Hans Zimmer's Hannibal score, especially the track with Hopkins reading the translation of Dante's "Vide Cor Meum". The "Birthday Party" track from Howard Shore's Dead Ringers score. (OK, I realise the last two aren't pop music, but my name anagrams to Ink Fly Inn, so cut me some slack.) | ||

Ha! And too easy, Niki - I'd have put the "Wry" up front, myself. I like "Gay Mom Ranch" - is that a new reality TV show? It should be - maybe I'll pitch it.  It was a toss-up, Mick, between "Snowflakes" and "The Planets." I still hear snippets/samples of his work in this or that - the latter was sampled on the most recent Yoko album "I'm a Witch," which is one of my favorite constant-plays, btw. Tomita has a chilling, ethereal quality that's perhaps a tad dated, even silly, and yet... very melancholy and unsettling.... | ||

'Pop' music is something I feel my education in is sorely lacking but off the top of my head here are some fairly eclectic tracks that always work their magic no matter what the situation: Dead Can Dance - Summoning of the Muse (Hubert listed my other favourite of theirs on my favourite album of theirs - good man!) The Divine Comedy - A Lady of a Certain Age Black Box Recorder - Gift Horse Goldfrapp - Utopia The Last Shadow Puppets - Age of the Understatement Evanescence - My Immortal Interpol - Evil Goldie Looking Chain - You Knows I Loves You (I actually cried with laughter the first time I heard their album) The Black Arts - Christmas Number One And loads of others but most of the time it's my rather ridiculously massive collection of horror movie soundtracks that accompanies the horrors that go on in my castle-sorry-house | ||

Dead Can Dance: Within the Realm of a Dying Sun is quintessential listening for anybody as far as I'm concerned. But is it pop music? King Crimson: Lizard will amaze jazz buffs and the classical community alike. A constant in my life, even if some incarnations of the group are better than others. Van der Graaf Generator: not for everyone, but Pawn Hearts is their pièce de résistance. And those lyrics!

| Hubert (Hubert) Username: Hubert Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 78.22.231.44 |
Certain frequencies will resonate with certain organs (I mean like the heart etc.). There's a system to this, but I've forgotten all about it. If you happen to have, say, a 'difficult' liver, a certain tone (if I remember correctly the E, but don't quote me) will resonate with it so that you will feel good or bad, depending on the volume and mayhap some other qualities. | ||

It's not so bad Niki, if I am in a 'busy' room I don't notice it, but still quiet rooms can be quite 'noisy'. Anyway, it is mostly self-inflicted from too many loud gigs, though the worst damage has been done by being exposed to feedback when rehearsing. gcw | ||

Seeing as other people are going for Evanescence I'll throw in my vote there as well. Amy lee has a fabulous voice. I'll also throw in my favourite current band - The Music. Take the Long Road and Walk it, and Too High are amongst the best songs I've ever heard. | ||

I'll have to dig out my copy of The Music. Haven't listened to it in ages. | ||

Very nice, Stu. I never listen to the radio, so I have to rely on others to turn me on to any good pop music. I'm enjoying White Lies at the moment. Here's a trailer to an instrumental version of "To Lose My Life": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_em-QiYIM0&feature=channel And what I guess is a fan video to "Unfinished Business": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78vtQQtaWFc&feature=related Alas, the video for "Death" seems to be "unavailable in my country". ??? | ||

That White Lies album is marvellous. 'Unfinished Business', 'To Lose My Life' and 'Death' are all excellent but at the moment I can't stop listening to the final track 'The Price of Love', which plays out like a film noir in song. The video for 'Death' is nothing special by the way. | ||

I had all three The Music albums on at home last night on a constant loop (while I re-read Steven Sherrils Visits from the Drowned Girl). Musical bliss (and literary). | ||

The Chameleons 'Swamp Thing' - about 7 minutes, all of them spectacular, moving, wounding brilliance. S PS I'm only a Manc by birth - I'm a transplanted Lancastrian now | ||

Briliant, bruised and beautiful song, mate - one of my favourites. | ||

Have you heard the alternate (slower) version of Tears? Good, God, it's brilliant. S |
