Yes, I admit, I'm a bit obsessed with Chvrches :smile:, so this will be my last post about them for now.
I instantly fell in love with them when I heard their song "Never Ending Circles", and then I listened to their three albums and liked or loved everything I heard. I think it's the songwriting skills and special kind of "purity" I feel their music conveys, and on top of it all a very clear and bright female voice. I am eagerly awating their fourth album.

A fun thing I learned is that the vocalist Lauren Mayberry was initially a drummer. When she joined with the two others to form Chvrches, it was intended that she would do backing vocals. But when they heard her singing abilities, she was promoted to lead singer :smile:.

If I'm not mistaken, I think these two are their most famous songs:

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share
(and I think the video effects at 2:23 and onwards are very cool too)


CHVRCHES - Miracle (Official Video)

Some good chillout/electronic tracks I've been listening to lately:

Groove Armada - History (very groovy)
Groove Armada - Inside My Mind (Blue Skies) (very nice)
Sine - The Return (instrumental, wonderful synthesizers)
Lovers lane - Island memories (very nice chillout)
Not electronica, but good:

Maggie Rogers - Back In My Body
Laurel - Same Mistakes (not electronica, but good)

One of my current favorite bands, Nothing But Thieves, releases their third album, Moral Panic, tomorrow. I've just bought tickets to a show they (hopefully) will be playing in Copenhagen a year from now, depending on the Covid situation, of course. I've eagerly been awaiting for an opportunity to see them live, since they sound great live, judging from all the live clips I've seen on youtube.

Here are two new songs from their new album, wonderfully performed live with orchestras:

Nothing But Thieves - Impossible (Orchestral Version - Live at Abbey Road)
(original song is here)
Nothing But Thieves x Bucharest Symphony Orchestra - Real Love Song
(original song is here)

This is comparably serious! Have a look at this:


Edit: But since I found that most christmas songs have a metal version, I completely changed my opinion about christmas songs.

I really liked some of the music put out by Beirut. It is a very creative mix of Eastern European and Alternative with a dash of Mariachi

I LOVE Phantom. I actually saw the original opening in Los Angeles. It was a night to remember!

Have you watched the movie? I just love the scene where they do Beyond the Point of No Return.

Here is a fun tune I ran across.
Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsense lyrics meant to sound like American English, apparently to prove Italians would like any English song.

Video is fun too:

This song cracks me up. I don't know why the beat of horse hooves and a slide guitar fit Saturn so well, but it works for me!

That being said, some time ago I fell madly in love; more in love than I thought humanly possible. And for three years this song was running in my head almost constantly. They were the best three years of my life... so far. :) The funny thing was, as if someone hit a switch, every cheesy love song I'd ever heard suddenly made total sense to me. I was truly helpless. I was completely out of control. It was wonderful! And it changed me forever.

I recently saw two fascinating interviews with two sound engineers who recorded the very famous Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and I post them below.

They describe background info, e.g. that "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" were the two first songs recorded, and that the idea of the album being a sort of a concept album did not materialize until about half of the songs had been recorded. The idea behind the album was that The Beatles had decided to stop touring, and the album was intended as being about a show on stage in front of an audience.
This explains the intro song:



and also that there is a reprise of the song with some variations later on that album.

There's much more interesting info in the two interviews (e.g. the sound engineers played a huge role in making the album since The Beatles wanted it to sound very different from anything ever recorded):
And here's another recent long interview with Paul McCartney where he tells a lot
of Beatles stories:
(FYI @pinball1970 and @ZapperZ who I know are Beatles fans :smile:)
