Cool. I like what I've heard. I haven't really listened much though!
Basically I've only heard him on TV or whatever. I have some J.S Bach. Excellent stuff.
What I really love about the great classical composers is to me they seem to be extremely consistent in comparison to a lot of music artists these days when its kind of pick and mix. You like some, dislike others.
With Orbital I love every track. But they're kind of like the new classical for me really. Only electronica, the classical music of the future perhaps
I think I also read somewhere that they had neo-classical ambitions or something. Anyway I think they're absolute immensely awesome. And I favour sound completely over lyrics.
I like poetry, but for me, music is music. I'm not bothered about words so much - its about the sound for me. And sometimes I think the words can be a distraction.
I often just prefer voices without words to voices with words. More harmonizing etc. And if words, I prefer it when the words are a background to the song, not the rest of the song kind of the background to the lyrics. I'm not arsed with lyrics. They're more of an addition for me than a central thing.
I find it actually quite weird that so many people love a song because of great lyrics or hate it because they don't like the lyrics. Despite however they think how good it actually sounds.
If a song has shit lyrics and sounds great I'll like it I'm sure. If it sounds crap but has 'great lyrics'. Then I'd rather just read it like a poem than hear it if it sounds so awful!
Music= stuff you want to hear just because of how it sounds for me. And how it makes you feel through the sound. Who cares what it "means" (in comparison to how it sounds).
Songs 'mean' stuff to me because of how they make me feel. Whatever the lyrics are or whether they have them or not. Its about how good it sounds. Magnificent sound makes me feel magnificent. I love music, I love sounds.
Lyrics are kind of a separate addition "added on" for me rather than a central theme. Sometimes they works, sometimes they don't and you're better off without them. Depends, and it depends what type of music it is, how long the song is - and WHAT song the song is.
I dunno, maybe that's just me?
That's what I think anyway.
