Name a Genre an give me your top 3 tracks from it


Recommended Posts

Several species of small furry Indie Pop.


Stereolab: "Ping Pong".
Considerably heavier live, then emphasising their post-rock roots with meganormous Moog modulars.
 

 


 

Komeda: "It's Alright, Baby".
Its lightness is like a thin veil over their compositional prowess.

 

 

 

 

Valkurien Allstars: "Slutte og byne" in a shortened on-the-roof version.

Give it the time it needs. The intro fades in until they start singing around the 0:30 mark, and the song then continues to fade in. The album version is more regular.

Opera;

 

The Habanera, from Bizet's sublime Carmen:

 

 

Another perhaps obvious choice; The Queen of the Night's Aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute.

 

 

 

And lastly, the maestro himself:

 

 

 

Not to everyone's taste, granted, but opera gives me something that I don't get elsewhere.

Oddly for me (an atheist) it is choral music rather than Opera that can really have an impact. Mozart's Grand Mass in Cm, and Thomas Tallis Spem in Allium are two very different but great examples.
