The oddest synchronicity just occurred while listening to the cut I posted just above. A tune, and old traditional American folk song, that I've been humming and whistling to for days now was offered as suggested listening by youtube.
It's not done in what one would consider in a traditional vein, one would usually hear this sung to a five string banjo or acoustic guitar, but it is the same otherwise as to key, tempo and lyrics.


Janel Drewis - "In the Pines" from the movie soundtrack: "Walking Dead Game"

Two "new" musicians ...to my knowledge, anyways...

This tune by Ryn was cited as a reason to believe that she and her band are every bit as good live as their studio material suggests.


Ryn Weaver - OctaHate (Live at Hollywood Forever)

...and then, of course, I had to hear the studio cut...

...she reminds me a bit of Sheena Easton, musically, as to what Sheena was doing in the 80's, likely to be as different as Night is from Day, personality wise.

...and which lead, in turn, to this...

Sam Smith - "I'm Not The Only One"

So, it seems that I'm a few months behind as to what currently trending and I might best chalk that up to the demise of the FM radio stations that used to be so popular here in America for most all of the 20th century and the demise of about 60% of my friends from whom I used to get a great deal of news and opinions... what was trending and of worthwhile attention... and not only regarding music.:sad:

... although I have to admit to being a lot less informed, than just being unaware of most of what is currently "hip", "rad". "the buzz" or "trendy", nowadays. As I was also getting a lot of news and exposure to what failed , how, when and for likely what reason..

and it could be said as much as to what succeeded, also.

Good stuff... I had, somehow, missed this band.
Reading up a bit I was surprised to find this on wiki: "Drummer Danny Carey operated many of the sound effects on the interlude tracks on the album using electronic drums called Mandalas"

Gee!? I wonder if he had Sabian Cymbals too?

This link is to a good book about this Band. I feel that you may enjoy it. They seem to have substance as far as artistry is concerned.

I first heard of him when I saw the movie "The Intouchables" (he wrote the music)

It's a great movie, by the way...

I too listened to Selina's selection and found that the pianist and composer, Ludovico Einaudi, from Turin, Italy to be good and of surprising interest in that the last composer and pianist anyone suggested, and I also liked, was Tikana's selection... as she posted a link to a piece by Roberto Cacciapaglia, whom is from Milan, and about the same age.

Nice to see a Desert Rock fan among the members.
I took a liking to one one the early groups associated with the genre back in the 80's. "The Masters of Reality", and only just found out that they were originally from Syracuse, N.Y....my fathers hometown.
Their first album was considered a retro sound even in the late 80's ...very reminiscent of "Cream"....

here's my personal fav.

Masters of Reality : "The Blue Garden"
