What are you listening to?

Went back to some old electronic roots - as 20 years ago as a hobby i used to practice DJ'ing on 2 old school Technics Mk2 turntables. My favorite genre of electronic music was Dub Step. Originating from South London in the early 2000s. To me Dub Step in its early days was the "Metal" of electronic music - with such deep sub-bass.

Here's a track from Vex'd - called the Killing Floor. The track feels like a soundtrack when the comets start to streak across the sky on Earth....

The drop in the track at around 2:16 is one of the best ive heard in Dub Step - and it if you have speakers with good "sub" bass it would sound even better :-)
 
"I, Who Have Nothing.."

Check these three out first:
1. Joe Sentieri does a lot better job in the original Italian version than
2. poor unfortunate Tom Jones. On Screen Lyrics!
3. The "remixed" English version performed by Ben E. King is spooky and frightening.

But, Ladies and gentlemen!
Here comes Radu Palaniță - a 40 years old car mechanic from Romania, Bucharest - and begins singing. Listen!

When you add The Power of The Soul to a performance, this is the result!

 
An olde worlde classic from Deep Purple, a cover of a great song, "Hush". Obviously in the immediate years to come, the band became the jamming classical-rock band I know and love, but this is a glimpse of their greatest asset; to be catchy. Everyone in the band is on their game here, and this is a song I'll happily sing along to whenever I hear it.

 
A 23min demonstration of the excellence of Deep Purple when they jammed it out live. Taken from a UK tape recording from 1970. Ritchie Blackmore is one of our country's most awesome guitarists, and the band as a whole is just well on it. If you've never listened to them then give this a try.

 
I'm listening to this sultry track from Van 'The Man' Morrison. In addition to being a folk music genius, he notably resisted the covid/lockdown scams, including recording a piece 'Why won't they let us work?' I think his Ulster Scot lineaged / Irish upbringing combines to deliver music that hits me straight in the sweet spot.

He made this fascinating comment when asked what his inspiration for 'And it Stone Me' was:

"I suppose I was about 12 years old. We used to go to a place called Ballystockart to fish. We stopped in the village on the way up to this place and I went to this little stone house, and there was an old man there with dark weather-beaten skin, and we asked him if he had any water. He gave us some water which he said he'd got from the stream. We drank some and everything seemed to stop for me. Time stood still. For five minutes everything was really quiet and I was in this 'other dimension'. That's what the song is about."
