As was so gracefully stated before.......history (or retrospect) is the final critic of what survives and what doesn't in the annals of recorded music...
Bissie is apparently very close to this music or else he wouldn't have recorded it in the first place......
A lot of us on this site are NOT musicologists......we are stricken with what pleases us. We don't have accompanying sheet music to follow the score and even if we did.........???????????????
There are many guilty pleasures in life.
We all can't dine on exotic foods and some of us don't possess the palette to really make a difference, anyway .
But as Teresa (DSD) stated it's still not cool or civilized to critique another's musical or visual tastes.
It's plain bad manners and ALL the coaxing or name calling in the world will never sway one's inherent musical choices.
So why try? It is, after all, a complete waste of time and energy.

Grow up Dave. I know that's impossible, but still one should let you know.

History has not ended, why do you limit yourself by believing that the best things were only in the past?
Wrong again as far as I am concerned the best music art & films are in the past. I find modern art is also mostly crap like the Saatchi rubbish.

Your small mindedness has no bounds ... if that's not a contradiction. Why don't you inflict yourself somewhere else. If you like I can set it up to automatically repeat your old posts here at random and nobody would know you were missing.

Well said Thomas.
And precisely that fact is the reason I mainly listen to ART MUSIC that has stood that test of TIME.
Or to my taste and limited understanding, at least seems to have decent chance of doing so.
I have already said that I too think, that there are gems to be found in POP music,but unlike you I am not really willing to shift through all the Commercial Crap,to find the few gems hidden there in today's mainly commercially driven Western POP Music.
I am grateful that you and others do so though and once in blue moon I too am alerted to contemporary western POP genre music worth listening to even if you are over 15.
FYI I do not only listen to Classical Music,or Western Music for that matter. I like a lot of music that comes from "the Heart" and I think nobody has expressed that approach to music better than Beethoven in his dedication to his Missa Solemnis ,a major work in the history of Western Art Music, still sadly missing on SACD.
"Vom Herzen möge es wieder zu Herzen gehen"
Everything has its time and place though IMO.I equally enjoy both how the Cohen Brothers use Bluegrass music in their films or Woody Allen 20 and 30s Jazz in some of his films.
Both genres are heartfelt music fun to listen to IMO.
During my more than 30 years of regular travels around the world I have also heard a lot of Absolutely WONDERFUL MUSIC both popular and traditional folk and ART and World music from Asia,and Africa and also the absolutely irresistible contribution to global music treasure from Latin America. A lot of really great popular music from there IMHO.
Some Modern Latin American Dance Music for example, make some classical composer's works sound stiff and boring indeed in comparison.
And at least to me make it very clear how musically handicapped and restricted and synthetic and empty and mechanical and horrible, modern western BOOM BOOM BOOM, DISCO CRAP is in comparison.
What I personally can't stand and find really painful to listen to and equate with Noise Pollution, is much of the electronically generated, monotonous BOOM BOOM BOOM, HARD ROCK, DISCO, HIP HOP,RAP CRAP void of any real musical qualites or true feelings,(ok there seems to be a lot of real hate expressed in RAP and that is of course a feeling too,) that is very sadly ,gradually poisoning the Whole Planet with its NOISE POLLUTION.
The latest genre to become infected by the virus, BOOM BOOM BOOM, noise pollution seems to be Bollywood that used to be such fun to listen to as an antidote to Western DISCO CRAP !
PS I just found the following note in a Swedish newspaper this morning maybe you could cover it ?
Or do you think I might get to hear something really worthwhile I may have missed ignorant as I am? GP today:"De gamla trashmetalbanden Exodus, Destruction och Heathen spelar tillsammans på Trädgår'n i Göteborg den 6 december. Spelningen har fått titeln ”Classics” eftersom de tre kommer att framför enbart musik från gamla plattorna. Ytterligare två band ska medverka på samma konsert, vilka är ännu inte klart."

For your information, kick boxing originated in Japan, not America.
Are you sure ? I thought Thailand?
Not "BORN IN THE USA" ,but it sure seems to be quite popular there.

Ah, so no Korngold movie music for Chris then, nor Williams, or Steiner, or any number of composers who wrote or continue to write for the movies.
What makes you jump to these wrong conclusions?

Sort of like a ZeusBot, a bastard child of SA~CDnet. We can pretend you drowned in the giant pond between Britain and America and inter your ashes in your hollowed out H.A.T.s~Sony receiver.
And then your patient as a saint wife can throw out all your cheap stereo shite and bring up the good stuff you have stashed in the basement.
And she'll blast the Clash's London Calling album and the neighbors will heave a sigh of relief as they realize that Gerald is indeed gone but NOT before he left a brief note in his will:
"Don't spend much on the funeral!"

Topic what topic?
Isn't this a thread where we can all abuse and mudsling each other without inhibitions?
How dare you bring up Bluray or DVD Audio or whatever other non SACD format Naxos releases on here?
