This was recommended to me by a friend and it is just wonderful.
It manages to be both tuneful and modern
(we have both kinds of music here! tuneful AND modern!)
and stunning, absolutely breathtaking, beautiful, and moving.
If you need a real change in your listening, get it!
Man, I wish I could write music like this....

Dang backwards classical guys! <grin>
I found it on Amazon, but their listening system seems to be full of
viruses. You click to play a tune and they try to give you an .exe
file!
Anyway, if you like contemporary classical, but still like melodies,
if you like Ives, Britten, Lauridsen or even Copland, you will
likely love it. If you don't like any classical, then it is not for you.
To me, it is like breathing mountain air after a year in Burbank...

Well, burn us all an mp3 & e-mail it, then, dammit, if it's so
good! lol
I agree with Cron - we're almost 8 years into the 21st century -
if we can't hear at least a good file segment, we're
automatically not interested!

I will say classical Beatles sound played up the modern way, as only
Macle can do, is the way for me to listen to right now. Marvelous
recorded(I think it's Paris homemade recordings), so I've buyed three
records from them, just to have some gifts to old musician friends I
played with in the sixties. I am listening to their album "Future
Junk" now as I was listening to the Beatles in the sixties.
I know many of you here wanted to buy the Macle sound years ago, so
here you can buy it with PayPal: http://www.themateswebsite.com/

2007 ? Damn, now I'm way behind, I thought it was 1967 and Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band just came out. It sounds fresh as ever compared
to the crap being pushed today.
It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

As The Mates/Macle are calling the time after that with the title on
their CD, "Future Junk" ;-)

Hey, I used to teach music theory and composition. We'll have to chat if
we're ever walking down a street. :)
Anyway, I was going to ask if you'd ever heard Frank Zappa's "The Yellow
Shark." I thought of this when you said " . . . modern and yet so beautiful
.. . . " because this qualifies, too. Not that it's similar compositionally,
but Frank was definitely capable of some wonderful orchestral stuff, and
"The Yellow Shark" is a whole album of it, arranged for and performed by
Germany's Ensemble Modern. The pieces range from serene to humorous to
violently dissonant. One of my favorite records ever.

Hey, if you can hear it in your head, you can make it happen in the air, I
always say. Well, OK, I've never said that before, but I think it's true,
provided you have a good ear and a good basic grasp of harmony and modes. I
don't think it would take a hundred years. :)

It might for me...
I can hear it though. Way out on the fringe of my awareness.
Imagine a really hard blues thing, kind of a SRV Crossfire with a bit
of very early Johnny Winter thrown in, and instead of the standard
guitar riffs over it, you had Charlie Parker? (but on guitar, not sax)
It's like greasy and cerebral, sexy and complex, all at once....
Without being fusion or prog...
grrrrrr... I can't quite grasp how to do it.

Sounds like you need to check out some Gary Moore.

Don-
I am fairly certain that any type of guitar playing you can imagine does
indeed exist out there. There is a guitar player I heard the other day, Julian
Lage, who is, I believe, capable of the playing I imagine you are thinking
of. As any good internet-literate person would, I blogged about hearing him.
Perhaps there are two mental processes going on. One is that you imagined
a feeling -- an emotion -- and then you other is that you tried to imagine
a combination of musical experiences that would produce such a feeling.
Or maybe not.
These sorts of things fascinate me.

Wow, he's good isn't he? I found some stuff on YouTube. What a tuneful
player. Fabulous. He probably does have the chops to pull it off. Great
musical sense too. thanks

It's like a few years back when I went to the Ellington Society convention.
I met Louis Bellson and hung out for a while before his show and then
sat in the front row while he blew my mind. (he gave me his sticks from
that show, they are on the wall out in the studio) Anyway, during one of
the more swinging pieces, I just was wishing for my guitar... Some
BB stuff, but more of a rock tone, and I heard exactly what I would have
played. All of a sudden it was just there! I knew it. Jazz Rock without
the schmaltz.
Jazz Rock usually loses the power of both styles. I want to keep the
power and swing and everything. Yes it may be a dream, but this came
close didn't it?

Me too. So many of our limits are limits of vision.

Actually I like a lot of that stuff, and I think they were often looking
for what I am describing (when they weren't being too cosmic...)
Remember Romantic Warrior? yeoww!
But no, that is not it either.

I love Holdsworth too and yes, if I was to talk to him about all this,
he would get it. But no...
BTW, his favorite piece of music is Debussy's Clair De Lune. He says
it always brings him to tears. Isn't that interesting? I would have
never guessed...
And I am not actually looking for this music, I want to write it!
No, I do not have the chops in that style, but I can HEAR it, way over
there, just out of reach. As powerful as SRV, as wild and free as Bird,
as greasy as Buddy Guy...
Drives me bats.... woooo-eeee-ooOOOOO
A friend of mine is a friend of Holdsworth's. I may see if we can hang
out and discuss this over dinner sometime. He will either tell me I'm nutz
or he'll get really excited... heh heh

Thanks for asking, Don.
I've been crazy busy at work, but I get to transition to a different kind of
crazy in about two weeks, as my wife is due with our first child (a daughter
named Ruby.) So, it'll be nice to take leave from work for a few weeks and
swap it out for little to no sleep!
As for Pärt (pronounced similarly to the fruit, "pear", with a "t" at the
end, in case you didn't know), my college roommate got me hooked. An
Estonian composer, Pärt tends to be known for his bleak soundscapes, but the
pieces featured on the Te Deum disc blend this mood with bursts of joy and
warmth as well (at times venturing near Morton Lauridsen tonal territory.)
Pärt is a big fan of using old church modes and scales as the basis for a
lot of his compositions, which give them that very old/timeless sense. It's
just good, good stuff.

Best wishes and prayers for your wife an little one.
I can tell you there is nothing better or more wonderful than
the birth of your child. And don't believe anything your wife
says about divorce during labor!

Look here brotherrrr
who you jivin' with that cosmic debris...
Zappa kicks butt, but way too ironic for what I want to do.
My buddy saw Dweezil doing the "Zappa plays Zappa" tour
recently and was extremely impressed.
I wish I had been there.
