Bach is who i listen to most often, but i love some of chopins stuff (though some is repeditive/uninteresting), and it wouldnt be right without beethoven's 9th
i love G-funk. its kinda classical. you have 'mild' gangsta rap lyrics being backed with classical music. when i say "mild gangsta rap lyrics" i mean lyrics talking about the themes of rap like drugs, money, women, death. but its not in an aggressive way at all, its actually pretty peaceful. for example: "We used to be like distant cousins, fightin, playin dozens Whole neighborhood buzzin, knowin, that we wasn't Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs I'm gettin blitzed and I reminsce on all the times we shared Besides bumpin n grindin wasn't nothin on our mind In time we learned to live a life of crime Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know I caught a felony lovin the way the guns blow And even though we seperated, you said that you'd wait Don't give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state I kiss my Mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes Said I'll return but I gotta fight the fate's arrived Don't shed a tear, cause Mama I ain't happy here I'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years They got me goin mad, I'm knockin busters on they backs in my cell, thinkin, "Hell, I know one day I'll be back" 2pac - i ain't mad at cha
Yeah man, it's good. I only have one CD, a compilation called "Tranquility" and since it's a burned copy I don't know who's on it. But it's nice. Sometimes I'll listen online through windows media player. Jazz and blues also sound AMAZING when you're stoned.
Do I like classical music? It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van. Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!
i love bachs first cello suite.....and i like handel's messiah....i love classical guitar, love cellos, like all sorts of stuff..... classical indian music is great, too. not classical per se, but if you like "experimental" rock music, too, i'd check out rasputina. they're one of my favorite bands, all with classical training, i think. right now i believe two female cellists and male percussionist, used to be three cellos....it changes often. kind of "gothic" but light and playful....i love it. really unlike just about any other band i know of...heard it described as many things, such as "gothic chamber rock"....i dunno....sometimes they play the cellos normally (like most of the songs on Thanks for the Ether, their first album) or sometimes they distort it a lot like guitars (used more in later albums like Cabin Fever and Frustration Plantation) anyway, check them out - actually really unique and inventive edit: that is, j.s. bach's first cello suite
Classical music fans and stoners alike should check out "Fantasia" when they're high, it is a real treat, I guarentee.
I def. dig it, it is on my playlist. I have mozart and beathovens 9th. Also some others I'd have to look to see. But I find it extremely relaxing for deep thought and meditation and after getting high when I am coming down and I relax I put it on.
I have that somewhere on a vintage thing called LaserDisc which is like a primitive giant cd. Sort of like a record but it is for movies and it goes into a big big dvd player. It is cool, I just have to dig that out somewhere cause I havent watched Fantasia since I was younger.
Actually the idea came in the 60s. It didn't come about til the 70s and around 1980 or 81 it started to get on the market. Was popular in the mid to late 80s and died out in early 90s. DVDs started up in late 90s, LaserDisc died out well before then.
i want to get more into it. Seeing as a really like long instrumentals, and i like to pick apart music and listen to each instrument seperately, classical music intrigues me. Its obviously way out of line to compare phish to the classical composers, but my love of phish's instrumentals, how they constantly change and flow, is what made me get into classical. Plus, im intrigued by the whole "musical genius" thing, and just listening to the pieces while keeping in mind the composer heard the whole thing in his head is pretty cool. Especially with the deaf composer. I dont know his name, i probably should have paid attention in gradeschool music class.
