I love the great voice with the sudo heavy back music in some of the songs. Are their any other bands like that? I don't mean just girl bands, but ones where the singer sounds good on her own to? Also, I've been looking for some dark, powerful instrumental music. Like the theme to LOTR, or some songs from Tim Burton's movies. Bad guy music from video games is good to. In The Corpse Bride, Victor plays a piano solo towards the beginning of the movie. Anybody know what the name of that song is, or if it's just one for the movie. |

| Posted By: The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted On: Jan 17, 2006 Views: 670 | RE: Music questions. Umm... dark instrumental music, eh? "Mars, Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets" suite, maybe? The whole suite is really great, although I'm not much of a fan of movements 5 ("Saturn, Bringer of Old Age") and 7 ("Neptune, The Mystic"). My favorite is "Uranus, The Magician". Saturn was Holst's favorite, though. It's all a matter of taste. Each movement is very different from the rest, but they all fit a common theme (that is, each movement is modeled after the Roman Gods the planets are named after). If you want the whole thing (which I recommend), the order of the movements is: 1. Mars, Bringer of War 2. Venus, Bringer of Peace 3. Mercury, The Winged Messenger 4. Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity 5. Saturn, Bringer of Old Age 6. Uranus, The Magician 7. Neptune, The Mystic Note that Earth and Pluto are omitted (Pluto was not discovered until four years before Holst's death, and by then he couldn't be bothered to write another movement, and liked the way the last movement ended anyway). Other people besides Holst have written movements for them, such as "Earth, The Cradle of Life" and "Pluto, The Renewer"; however, these are generally not nearly as good as the original seven movements, nor do they fit in very well with them. If you're interested, I recommend this recording: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000001GJW/ref=pd_bxgy_img_b/103-725496 4-9867064?%5Fencoding=UTF8 performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert von Karajan. |
| Posted By: James Posted On: Jan 17, 2006 Views: 669 | RE: Music questions. Thanks for the spelling correction, and yet it does fit where I placed it. Most people call their music heavy, yet it is not compared to other types thus, pseudo heavy. p.s. The only person I've ever known even use it is someone I used to work with, name withheld, but needless to say if I wanted to get you people to think I was smart I'd not use any of...whatever. This conversation is ****ing meaningless. |
| Posted By: James Posted On: Jan 17, 2006 Views: 666 | RE: Music questions. Thanks, I have those. Great music, just not quite it. |

| Posted By: Jane Doe Posted On: Jan 19, 2006 Views: 617 | RE: Music questions. Not exactly what you requested, but you might like Blonde Redhead. Or try Henryk Gorecki, the album has a gray picture of a silouhette. I think it's Sym. 3 or Op. 3 or something. |
