    This piece of music is epic, aye or nae?



    It is kinda redundant, and there is a short reoccuring section that I think is both awesome and under developed, but overall it is great music to study to.

    I can't listen to that. The static burns my audiophile ears - and this is coming from someone who thinks Norwegian black metal has decent production.

    "Sir, I exist!"
    "However," replied the universe,
    "The fact has not created in me
    A sense of obligation."

    I don't know if i'd call it epic, but they're very talented musicians who make very good music.

    After Ravel's Bolero became part of the soundtrack in "10" - and was subsequently dubbed as THE music to have sex to, it never seemed to be played without that connotation, and I could never listen to it again. I find it boring actually.

    Not epic for me but it is certainly beautiful.

    I found it very impressive Yarn, I say “aye”.

    I personally like to relax to anything by Hans Zimmer (and there are tons of his compositions) or, even Lesiëm and their Gregorian chant. I especially love their Illumination cd. Here is Zimmer doing some of the soundtrack from Inception.

    Just run video up to the 8:00 minute mark where it starts, and was supposed to start.




    The only thing I found wrong with Bolero-Ravel was “I could’ve used a little more snare drum”.

    The snare throughout made me laugh and think of the SNL clip with Will Ferrell doing Blue Oyster Cults “Don’t fear the reaper” with Christopher Walken….”more cowbell”…other than that, it was great.

    Some classical music makes me puke (figuratively, of course), but I do like plenty of it. I like this CD, for example:
    Fright Classics - Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra | AllMusic

    Then there are Bartok, Dvorak, Varese, Penderecki, Xenakis, and a number of others. I like a lot of music. Not all of it need be rock (though rock and rap are better for blasting from cars).

    If I had wanted to understand Inception I would've been better advised to have not gone to it with a girl who was just using it as an excuse to get me somewhere where she could make out with me about every several minutes for 3 hours.

    The Inception theme, the majestic awe-inspiring part with the orchestra, you linked to reminds me of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and X-men for some reason. It also reminds me of the intro to some old RTS game.

    Man….I hope you got some. .... "But then went home and watched the movie"…it’s great.

    Zimmer has composed, produced, and has numerous score awards for ton's of movies, TV and games. A genius in his field.

    Well I got some later. I got a lot later. In fact I got too much later. About 2 per day on average every day for all of August...that was an otherwise rather unproductive month. Every day: Halo 3, "some", small talk, and TV. I learned later that she had a 3rd trimester abortion when she was in her mid-teens. I wonder why?

    Anyways, here is a comedic song I found while searching for nuclear music:


    When your white count's getting higher, hurry don't delay
    I'll hold you close and kiss those radiation burns away
    Crawl out through the fallout, baby, to my loving arms through the rain of Strontium 90
    Think about your hero when you're at Ground Zero and crawl out through the fallout back to me
    Crawl out through the fallout, baby, you know what I mean
    Crawl out through the fallout, 'cause they said this bomb was clean
    If you cannot find the way, just listen for my song, I'll love you all your life although that may not be too long

    So, is this just evolving into a thread where we can link a bunch of tunes?
    Some things never get explained.

    Well, here's one:


    It's a mellow little instrumental -- easier to relax to.
