SEMPLICEMENTE FANTASTICA QUESTA MUSICA! SUPER SUPER BELLA OVVIO PER ME



What he said! 
Wasn't this piece made in collaboration with Blaine Reininger from Tuxedomoon? It has this characteristic atmosphere that is very 'reiningerian'.
This is the antidote for the student-level banality that comes up sometimes.  Thank you.

+1 for cool band name.
This is one of those songs I imagine they play at my funeral in a movie of my life.

As beautiful as this piece is...it's an energy killer. Happens every single time. This time, it was a Steely Dan song, which preceded it, and was feeling a groove and then CWNN comes in and slams on the brakes. I truly appreciate and like this song, but talk about coming to a screeching halt. Gah.
 
Yeah... we just came out of Squeeze's "Another Nail For My Heart" which had us hopping, and this kinda threw the gears in reverse.
....beautiful!....

Check out Dr. John Campbell on YouTube. 
He started off, like you, accepting that the Vax was probably safe, yet 3+ years later after following the evidence and knowing the science, he's found that excess deaths have increased more from the poison shot than any impact from the virus. 
Or continue to be lied to by MSM, and all the government agencies helping big pharma profit by selling the crap Vax.




That sort of ... doesn't belong here.

Where is the cut? I cannot see the discontinuity where the gif repeats. Is she that perfect that she ends millimeters from where she started?

This is such a moving and fantastic song. I get a TMC 'Filigree and Shadow' vibe from this.
slides right in after Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan....well done, BillG

This is so good, big feel, a one OFF.
A very eclectic band, spanning from IDM to neo-classic, from deep house to electropop. Love them.
Simply gorgeous... love me some strings
Please keep playing these gorgeous, moving masterpieces, RP.  
Not to be mixed with Clod Cult, which I did for a few times, based on similar name.

You blew it man. Now that you've posted "they" know who you are and where you are.
The violin tone reminds me of the difference between Dave Swarbrick and Rick Sanders. I like the former, and not the latter. However, I do like Curved Air. There is something in this piece/arrangement that doesn't seem to meld contentedly.
that's alot of compression on the piano

Cuts through the crap in our lives at the moment  like a laser through butter and you have 3 minutes and 17 seconds of serenity! More power to RP saving us in the Covid infected times and RP is a ray of sunshine piercing the gloom.

I like this a lot, it reminds me of some of the Eno/Budd collaborations. This is great on a day like today. Misty, cold, a little gloomy. I don't mean that in a bad way, it reflected my mood perfectly.
 
This piece sounds a lot like Brian Eno's classic "Ambient 1/Music for Airports".

This is, like it or not, the greatest prog album ever. Yes is the greatest prog band (close tie with Crimson and ELP and PFM). And for those of us who were in our teens when it was released, this is about as close to a religious and transcendent experience as folks could put on vinyl.
Was wondering how a segue from Close to the Edge would work... now I know. Once again, well played segue master, well played.

Hmmmm.  Good observation.  Identified similarly in Wikipedia's entry for Cult with No Name:

"The band's second album, Careful What You Wish For, was released a year later and included the instrumental track "You Know Me Better Than I Know Myself", which featured Tuxedomoon's Blaine L. Reininger on violin, ... "

Sounds like a personal (computer) problem!  I rated this one a 9 somewhere along the line, now I'm not sure if 8 is more appropriate, although the 'lyrics' listed are cool, I didn't hear anything sung on this song, so I'm a bit confused....at least it was a great intro to Tull's Locomotive Breath...Long Live RP!!
To me, this song is a beautiful and long intro to an another song...
And Bill always find a good transition to this one :)
this song makes me sad

It reminds me of a French Canadian band from the 70's called Canoe. Let the jokes begin but they had a couple of lovely albums.

Is good
 
I have not rated this, I always go by the majority rules,  and all the haters here and negative folks, you lose,  it is liked by the majority, use the PSD and move on! 
This song is for me a big nice intro for the next one, which is often different
Waiting for the surprise coming...
Sounds like an unfinished demo. The violin noodling is particularly annoying.

Come on, enough already!  This is way too slow for RP. Not eclectic but elevator music. I vote to remove this song, forever from the playlist.
A most welcome blast from the past. Thank you RP!
One day, I love the song & music.

Another day, the cynic steps forward and says "If Only."  

Another day, the Wounded One says "Why-?" and watches the rain keep falling.

Well, now that it's going on 4 months and it's still cold this just seems like an insult.  

Actually I love this song.  It's just been cold long enough and we still have at best another month to go.  At least here in Wyoming.
When I first heard this song i bought it and looped it over and over for about a week.  I still love hearing it on Radio Paradise.  It's such an honest piece of music.

This may be good for a 3 AM spot on Wednesday, but on a Friday... come on. 
I stopped working although I was so deep into writing a concept when I heard that piece of music.
Haven't heard it before but love it.

Been running around all day, working on a ton of things that need to get done.

Nice to hear this and STOP FOR A MOMENT and ...  just breathe.

but, when you are accustomed to the sound of the american fiddle, this is an excellent performance.  more about the feel than the technique.

Guess I'm in the minority here, but to me it sounds like substandard classical. I like the overall vibe but some off-pitch notes on the strings are really grating.

Support now the growing sentiment to enable Texas to secede from the Union. Think of the benefits: no more Rick Perry; the Dallas Cowboys are just another football team; they get that entire border with Mexico all to themselves. Yes, you'd need a passport to see SXSW, but life is full of trade-offs, eh?

 

all good except, {#Flamed} the music out of texass is without doubt some of the greatest ever made.....
But it's not a violin, is it?  The low range made me think Viola and Cello, yet the peaks were way up there...  I'm thinking an ensemble of all three...  Of course, I haven't researched it and just spouting off in response to other posts...  Sorry, got company, gotta go, but I LOVE this piece!

Wonderful.
This always reminds me of Ry Cooder's soundtrack to the Walter Hill film JOHNNY HANDSOME. The opening piano notes always make me think we're about to hear the theme from JOHNNY...

This made me feel very weird, sad, I think. It's the same weather today as it was a couple of years back, while I was still at university, when I took my mom to sightsee the campus and the city it was in. She wanted to see it so much, and she still does, even though it's been 3 years since I graduated.
Hearing this song in this weather made me realize the fact that I can't go to that past anymore, nor can I relive it. Perhaps I won't even be allowed in the campus grounds because I'm no longer a student, but I can at least take her to the city.

 
<3 music has that amazing way to bring back the past, but never as fresh as we'd like the memory to be.
