I heard this song on the radio the other day. This band was popular in the nineties and then waited nearly a quarter century to record again.

They're called Belly. The song is Shiny One.

Wow...

No music to post just wanted to say I'm back (again) so hopefully I'll be a little more active. Just moved into my new place, should be settled in about a week.

So, what'd I miss?

Welcome back. What you missed: Aragorn is thinking on changing his name to “Avenging Transvestite”

This is a beautiful song about peace, written by Brad Dunnels of DXPlive. He was the first American to win the National Song Contest in Cork, Ireland.

Both of these tracks are from a music sub-genre termed “Heroic.” A number of them are the embedded music in mostly war games of some sort. I’ve collected some 20-30 tracks of what I consider “the best of.”

I’ve just sent off for an Apple Home Pod to get the best sound system to listen to this group as the genre really stresses normal speakers to get anything matching the music.

I thought Thomas Bergersen sounded Norwegian, you know

, and Trondheim where my ancestors come from. Now Two Steps from Hell gets another meaning...Trondheim is not far from the place called Hell, and it's really a sacred place...

THOMAS BERGERSEN

B est-selling composer Thomas Bergersen was born and raised in Trondheim, Norway. By the age of 6 it was obvious that Thomas had little interest in playing existing music, but would rather come up with something himself, much to the dismay of his piano teacher. Fast forward some decades and Thomas’ compositions have been featured in some of the biggest motion picture campaigns in the world, such as Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean, Twilight, Narnia, Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, The Mummy, The Dark Knight and 100s more. He co-owns a company called “Two Steps From Hell” with his partner, Nick Phoenix which produces music for motion picture advertisement campaigns. Thomas’ extensive and highly specialized knowledge of digital orchestration and sample libraries, combined with his musicality puts him at the top of the world in his craft. In 2011, Thomas released his first public album titled “Illusions”, which has been a huge hit, reaching number one in the iTunes world music charts both internationally and in the United States. I’m a kid! I don’t like being told what to do, and music is the only place I know where I can roam free and do what I want. It is my fortress of solitude and only I have the key. His music with Two Steps From Hell has also been a huge hit, reaching both first and second place in the iTunes classical sections with the albums “Invincible” and “Archangel”. Thomas has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and continues to break new ground with his innovative composition style. His next album, the follow up to “Illusions” is expected to be done some time in 2013. “The reason it takes so long to produce an album like this is because out of 10 pieces I write, only one or two will make the cut, and then the process to embellish it with live orchestra, singers and instrumentalists begins, which can last for months. It’s all about finding the right voice for the right music, the right instrument for the right melody, the right length, sound color, orchestration, lyrics etc. It takes a long time, and the process is very different from writing film music where you typically just follow something on-screen, or in a band where you have your guitars, bass, drums, vocals and maybe a synth. The complexity of the soundscape means more things can go wrong, clash, or otherwise make the process difficult. You are sometimes dealing with polar opposites, but just because we’ve been told that certain things don’t go well together I don’t see that as a reason to avoid it, but a challenge rather. The satisfaction for me ultimately lies in untangling the mess and making all the individual chaotic parts come together in harmony somehow. That’s when I feel like I’ve done a good job.”

I have heard the music before but never connected it to that name. Thanks for the reminder, Batman!:batman

I bought that song on iTunes and put six copies of it in a playlist on my iPod, which I strap to my waist.

When I'm waiting for water to boil, I do dance therapy with that beautiful piece.

Works like a charm!

This is part of the "The Devil's Rejects" soundtrack...

I fell in love with it when watching the movie

Actually, no, the Lady of the lake was not Morgan(a) Le Fay. The latter was King Arthur's half-sister and she was a sorceress, while the Lady in question was an immortal spirit who dwelt in the water of the lake, and to whom Arthur — or was it perhaps Lancelot or Perceval, after Arthur's death? — returned Excalibur after Mordred had been defeated.

Arthur was mortally wounded when he killed Mordred, so perhaps it was after all either Lancelot or Perceval. But it's been ages since I last watched "Excalibur", so my memories are a bit rusty on that one.
