Wumpscut - Thorns

One of the hidden pleasures of listening to 'industrial' music are the soft synths instrumentals tucked away amongst the heavy machinery. Those who rage against the machine through synth-machines also know the gates of heaven can be opened electronically too.

From the singer of 'Christfuck', 'Hang Him Higher' and 'Slave to Evil', here is a great industrial version of a Renaissance pavyn (a slow processional dance).

Make sure they play some German Darkwave at my funeral... It always had some part of my soul.

Always liked Wreath of Barbs, which I hadn't heard in ages - thanks!!

I'll check out the others after.  Lately, and I feel I've mentioned it, A Gradual Awakening, HoS 19 is a new favourite I seem to need regularly.  Actually, while writing this post, I have been listening to some of what's been posted, and will later return to hearts of space.

These last days, we've seen Klaus Schulze's name come up often, but also a fair amount of cello music.  This morning's couple or more hours' worth of CBC 2 listening, featured a few interesting pieces of music.



Years back, I recall being rather moved by a couple of Schumann or Schubert pieces of music.  Never really certain what songs or which composer.





This guy's violin playing.  (The piece of music they played from "this is my music," was a piece called Beside the Spring.  I liked the fact that it was recorded in 1934.  That was the year my dad was born.  I put up this video for the timepiece of film it is and that characteristic narration I would have often heard in films in school in the 70s.  I'd love to see someone do a documentary on narrators/narration one day.  Even a doc about the voices (and accents) on radio over the years would be interesting to me.

One song from an album called The Wild Swans (a violinist and a pianist, both women) was featured...but when searching for a link to either them or that song, I found something even better, with this:



I feel as though I have heard this somewhere, but maybe it's because I briefly used to listen to Echo and the Bunnymen?  There was some tragedy mentioned in the description and comments about a particular drummer and Bunnymen.  Either way, I really enjoyed this song!!
