Re: The music thread : What are you listening ?
Return : Why using a full orchestra to do so little ?
Both songs : 2 possibilities, he sings that using 10% of his "power" or 95% :p So may be he has a great voice but we have no way to know it, only sure thing is its very bass !
I have listen lots of classical music when I was kid, not because I liked that, but because that was the only music my father could tolerate. Now everything "modern" I heard with classical stuff inside (orchestra, "symphonic" stuff) is just like modern music poorly designed with classical instruments to looks like it was classical-like while its not.
If you can read a partition, have a look at anything written by Mozart for example and compare with this guy and you will get it fast :p
I don't say the music I listen is greatly designed, when lets say hmm portishead sing, they don't try to look like classical.
Did I pass the test ?
No post without music :
Portishead hooray ! A different song for a change than Glory box
