I just discovered Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, who recently had a #1 hit with his song Somewhere Over The Rainbow (yes, from the Wizard of Oz) over here in Germany (I'm on a business trip here) despite the fact that he originally released it in 1993 and passed away four years later...click on the following song title for another one of his famous songs:

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Hawai'i 78



Powerful stuff!

Cheers! M2

^ that guy is great! I have an album around here somewhere. All the tracks are really pleasant, mellow, so you can just let it loop for a while and not be bothered.

One of my favorite lines from a movie was from "the Last BoyScout"- Bruce Willis is tied up and being beaten when his captor tells him that he's going to make him scream- So Bruce says "What are you going to do- play some rap music?"

Classic

Rap music: an oxymoron if there ever was one...

Seriously, I figured it would have died out by now. Seriously. I keep waiting for some type of good music...and waiting...and waiting...

+1 IZ = awesome.

This was one of my favs during the 80's - though not so much a group as it was a producers project using various little known artists. This Mortal Coil

...which then reminded me of The Alan Parsons Project - one of my favs from the 70's. I Robot!

More 80's goodness... The Waterboys

^ First time I ever heard AP was in a friend's Chevy Vega in England in 1977. I heard the instrumental "I Robot" and had to know who did it. I bought every album before and since then. I still buy them, but the original AP sound died when Eric Woolfson left. I hated it when he died. I always hoped for a reunion. AP's music was not the same (or as good) when Eric left.

IMO Woolfson was that sound.
