School Old
np. Enya - Storms in Africa
Pandora is now bestowing the New Age genre upon me. I have to admit I'm o.k. with this. It reminds me of high school as I know I've mentioned via one medium or another. There's nothing wrong with Enya, but Enigma has since emerged as my favorite, based upon my exposure, from that "era". Remember when the Gregorian Monks was a huge thing? I know I'm going pretty far back with this. My Mother, God bless her, was huge into all of this stuff, and I leeched the best of it off her.
np. Adiemus - Adiemus
Speaking of New Age... Ok so the monks. Real quick I'm going to fire up wikipedia because I think it's a cool thing to revisit.

Recorded in the 1970s. I didn't know that. 6 million copies is a lot of cd's for a group of monks. Anyway, that album art is very familiar. Clannad was another big thing during that era. They did the music for Patriot Games, if memory serves. Tom Clancy RIP in piece.
np. Hans Zimmer - Now We are Free (live)
Live? There's a live version? Lisa Gerrard sounds the same here as the recorded version. That's a topic for another conversation by itself. She is considered a contralto, if you know what that is (I don't). But if she's singing I'm certainly going to pay attention.
np. Hayley Westenra - May it Be
Ok what the fuck is going on with Pandora? This is an Enya cover from Lord of the Rings. It's decent, but I'm kinda longing for like Wumpscut or Front Line Assembly or just some Depeche Mode right now. Perhaps I've made the mistake of up-voting Enya and now we're forever doomed.
np. The Cure - Last Dance
Nevermind, we're safe. Wasn't there a South Park episode where they were debating what the best Cure album was? One of the kids even said Disintegration, which is my favorite. There are a lot to choose from though.
np. Sisters of Mercy - Temple of Love
Wish was really good too. Except Wish is kinda almost like the Cure for non-Cure fans. It's like the most Pop music they ever got up to. That being said, A Letter to Elise, and To Wish Impossible things are two of my all-time favorites. The problem overall is if I try to listen to Wish from start to finish, I'm probably going to skip Friday I'm in Love every single fucking time.
np. Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound
Did you guys hear about the Nirvana thing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They brought a rotating cast of relevant females out to sing. I read an article about it. It seemed interesting. I'd actually love to here an entire Nirvana album sung by a female singer. I think that might be really cool.
Sleep now!
