What are you listening to right now?

Been listening to Tommy, probably cycled through about ten times by now.



Overture, 1921, Pinball Wizard, Go to the Mirror, Sally Simpson and I'm Free are my favorite tracks, but I could listen to them all. Saw the second half of the movie (from 'Smash the Mirror' onward), thought it was kinda lame and the remixed songs were too different. Even so I still have the insatiable desire to watch the full thing.

Besides that, the ever present Pink Floyd in my life is taking the form of a mixed disc I recently made featuring the 'Shine On...' songs, 'One of these Days', 'Sheep' and other mostly-instrumentals of theirs, and then I happened across some ELO tracks on my old desktop that I put on my mp3 player.

So yeah, life is good at the moment :D

The following is a video (audio) recording of "A Mass of Life: Part I: O Du mein Wille!" (Chorus). This is a piece of music that was directly inspired by, and recited the words of -- Nietzsche's tremendously influential "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", and was composed by Frederick Delius in 1905, five years after Friedrich Nietzsche's death in August of 1900.
  • Nietzsche from Delius: A Mass of Life


It's unambiguously one of my favourite works of music, and I thoroughly enjoy many of Delius' other works, but this is most definitely foremost among them. It's sublime, powerful, and gripping in it's tone. It's a shame that recordings of this particular work are not generally readily available on the majority of prominent media-sharing websites, such as YouTube. I was (thankfully) lucky enough to see it performed in a live environment.
