Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt

Narziss und Goldhund has been posting about some of his favorite music and there I discovered great songs and bands. I already posted about Ballroom Stories by Waldeck, which I love. The music is very sexy (listen to the songs make my day, memories or even better addicted).
He also wrote a wonderful article about Maria Callas and how her music moves him to tears. It reminded me of the music, which almost instantly brings tears to my eyes, whenever I hear it: Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt. Try listening to it when you are alone and your surrounding is quiet. Unfortunately I can´t post the video Art of contortion on Spiegel im Spiegel here, but check it out on youtube.com.
I hope to discover some more good tunes at Narziss und Goldhund. He has got quite a good music taste - well maybe except for the Coconuts. *lol - Sorry, I just couldn´t resist! ;)

Make my day by Waldeck



I just discovered the song "Make my day" by Waldeck at Narziss und Goldhund. He is right. What a wonderful way to start the day.

"lose the spliff, get off the sofa and twirl your feet on the polished dancefloors of the ballrooms and speakeasies of the late 1920s, because that is where waldeck has taken us.
swing meets tango in a heavenly cocktail promising a life richer than the thick smoke of cuban cigars. the opener “make my day” evokes the days when al capone made a fortune selling booze. singer joy malcolm (late of incognito) gives up an impressive performance."
"although most of the albums fantastic arrangements have been recorded live, waldeck achieves time travel though the use of old gramophones and shellac recordings." (text taken from Waldeck)
I´m off to order the album "Ballroom Stories". You can also download the songs at Amazon.com.
