Someone posted some Roxy Music / Bryan Ferry -tracks on the previous page, and those made me think of one of the best "80's ballads" ever written. By Bryan Ferry. Some great musicians playing on the track, too.
So now I'm listening to Boys and Girls by Bryan Ferry.
EDIT: It was @Tech198. Thanks for the reminder.

Have you seen the film Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio? Philip Glass composed the music for the film, and it's quite stunning. I had the great fortune the see the film on the big screen with the music performed live by an orchestra and conducted by Glass some years ago. As far as audiovisual experiences go, that's pretty high up there. Hypnotizing.
Such a fine composer. I've yet to see the other -qatsi's, but that's something I'll likely get to sooner, rather than later.
No, actually, I haven't, - what an amazing experience and how wonderful for you - and I would love to see him - and his orchestra play live.
I've seen (heard?) Michael Nyman and Ennio Morricone, the Buena Vista Social Club, (and Pink Martini) - among others, play live, but never - unfortunately - Philip Glass.
Just now, still with Philip Glass: Satyagraha - Protest, and Evening Song.
[doublepost=1523651706][/doublepost]Oh, and Tolstoy Farm - also from Satyagraha by Philip Glass.
No, I don't believe you did.
Mine are ever so slightly grubby, kind of ancient (that is, if you think the 90s ancient, and some sad souls do), somewhat battered CDs; they date from the 90s..........which is when I bought them on a pathetic university teacher's salary.
But, good luck on the CD hunt.
Are you sure you didn't give them away - in thrall, for example, to cupid's arrow?
Please count my like as *3*
I do have a vague recollection that it might have been a result of a relationship
One of those cases of merging mine and hers to create a nebulous ours ... $4/each used online on CD, I might actually just rebuy them.
I went to my very first Decemberists show last night at the Ryman here in Nashville, TN>
Just fantastic.
I've seen a few in my day and I can honestly say that was one of the best shows I've seen.
Here, in no particular order, are some of the older tunes they played. I couldn't have picked a better set list if I tried.

A few classic CDs from Pink Martini: Sympathique, Hang On Little Tomato, Je Dis Oui!
For a variety of reasons - nostalgia, I like them, they seem apt for what I believe I am experiencing just now - I have been listening to Madness this evening.
Another classic choice.
The Specials - Ghost town
Nickleback - How you remind me.
Among others today.
Ah, yes: The Specials, great idea.
But - some nights - Madness just hit the spot. As they did in my misbegotten youth.
Good grief - I can even remember dancing (if one can dignify or describe the stupid shuffling I did with that august verb) at student parties to Madness......
Leonard Cohen: "Everybody Knows". Brilliant, bitter, insightful, searing.
