    Question OT: Who is better.

    There are a few knowledgable people about Music out there.

    So who would you reckon is your prefered musician.

    Jean Michel Jarre
    Vangelis
    Isao Tomita
    Kitaro

    I never managed to catch Tomita-San in concert, but been to concerts by the others.

    Jarre and Vangelis prefer their earlier stuff.

    Kitaro Just seems to getting better and better, his "Silk Road" concert in China was excellent.

    Hmmm.

    Lack of responses.

    Can it be that those Guys are that unknown these days.


    Or is it because not one of them is American??

    Would have thought that some of the forms people would use this type of music.

    Agreed.

    golden shoes would weigh a lot!

    I always thought if you married inside of five there'd be no jive.

    Then a buddy of mine tells me his formula and it works out to half your age plus seven.

    cheers

    diclaimer: this is quickly gonna be one of those threads that falls to the bottom and starts drinking if someone doesn't mention contemporary music.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    "War of the Worlds" hold a palce of honour on my CD-rack (got the vinyl too).


    Perosnally, I think that "Spartacus" is his better work, but it appears to be less known.

    Like many people I got my first intro to Vangelis via the TV-Series "Cosmos" hosted by Carl Sagan.

    Jean Michel Jarre was "Popcorn", still got the single too. Big fan of Vinyl records.

    Tomita I first heard at School when our Music teacher brought in some of her personal records.

    Cheers.

    The problem is there are no musicians on your list - only wimpy new-age air-pudding purveyors.

    In that general area, I'd sooner go for somebody like Bill Frisell or Hariprasad Chaurasia. Sure, it's instrumental, relaxing, meditative, etc. but the connection to a classical/folk tradition (jazz and raga, respectively) give it a little more human, 'juicy' feel. The guys you mention just are dry and unaffecting for me.
    All my fight strategy is based on deliberately injuring my opponents. -
    Crippled Avenger

    "It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever get near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propoganda visits...Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecendented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."

    First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
