Keith Jarrett - "Chant of the Soil". I'm writing a piece just like it, so I'm trying to learn how to do the 70s rock/gospel piano thing he does. The only version I can find on YouTube is this awful rip (I have the local file on my hard drive, for those wanting a higher quality version, it is on Spotify, so I suggest looking there!)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92.....I kinda think this is before it all got a bit weird. Not that I mind weird, I am weird, but I do love this album...

The haunting theme from the (film) movie Midnight Express: (thank you, Giorgio Moroder).
Actually, I recall buying that as a LP, for those of you who remember what that was.

One band I was in in Albuquerque didn't do many wedding dances (thankfully) but we did a few. We always asked the new couple what they wanted played for their "First Dance", and one couple requested "In the Air Tonight"! We mentioned that the subject matter wasn't exactly wedding-appropriate, they didn't care they wanted it, so we learned it. They, and the crowd, loved it, so I guess that's all that matters.
I've never really looked into the meaning of the stuff I listen to, I just kinda enjoy it. I'll admit I'm a bit ignorant. But it was interesting to Google it, definitely not appropriate for a wedding! But there is what the artist saw as their work, and also how it's received. Probably like me, most people just want to enjoy the music and don't think too much about the meaning. With all due respect to the artist, sometimes it's fun to make our own meaning out of the work even if it's not what was intended. A part of owing something we value, making it personal. I don't think it's too offensive.
Boards Of Canada - Twoism...I've really enjoyed 'electronic' music, if that's what you'd call it, for some time. I love the sound of a synth, possibly more than an electric guitar, and the sound shaping possibilities of all that stuff is super fun. I think Boards Of Canada are my favourite of the stuff I listen to. It's so moody, and analogue. And just so well done.

A few tracks from the legendary (and sublime, quite utterly wonderful and totally brilliant - and, while I have all of their albums, I have also heard them play live on two different European tours) - Pink Martini:
Let's Never Stop Falling In Love; Una Notte A Napoli; U Plavu Zoru (all from the album Hang On Little Tomato).
Song Of The Black Lizard (from the brilliant album Sympathique), and, City of Night (from the album Hey Eugene!)
