From links one of my brothers sent me today. British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason with an arrangement for cello of Marley's No Woman, No Cry. And then with some colleagues, Kanneh-Mason again with a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. A songwriter just never knows where a bit of music will end up once he sends it out into the world. Kanneh-Mason is one of seven children (all are classical musicians) from a family in Nottingham, England. He was the 2016 winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year award.
I am digging this a lot. Nice and deep sounding!
Having listened to your track, I went to youtube and listened to quite a few of their albums/songs. I am really digging this one!
Yes. Smoke was from their first album. They've become a bit more ambient now, so I prefer most of what they did up to the Oro albums in 2012. That punky sound was still prevalent back then. That mix of heavy and psychedelic ambient is pretty great. I do not miss constant vocal lines (I wish more metal bands would skip the vocals...)
Speaking of instrumental metal, the sadly defunct Suzukiton from Virginia. It picks up about 45 seconds in (the drummer is a beast.)
You and me both, there are times when the music is so good and then you get the cookie monster vocals that come in and pretty much ruin the music. Don't get me wrong I love cookie monster vocals, but there are times it does grate on me.
For some reason the cats liked this one when I found it on You Tube.. think they were taken by the sounds of the rainforest ... me too!
And the original they covered:
Then, as long as I'm listening to people walking through minds:
A group called "Nightmares on Wax" with the piece of music "Night's Interlude" from the album "Smoker's Delight."
