Aside from the daily fix of worship songs, these have been looping on my playlist recently:
1. 楓 - Jay Chou
2. Home - Above & Beyond
3. Now We Are Free - Lisa Gerrard, Hans Zimmer
Shocking to see Jay Chou on my list but I think he's a hit! Eh the guy uses counterpoint (Bach's trademark technique) to compose, how can you not say he's talented?
As for Above & Beyond, sorry to purists but I have this affinity for dance music. I'm a keyboardist - I create weird sounds on a synth, what do ya expect?? :) Here, some videos I sneaked at their recent gig with my phone....
In the beginning... a bit blah
After warm-up: slightly better
Honestly, it was a bit of a let-down, felt they're better on CD than live. Or maybe I was too faraway from the action.
As for the ethereal, grandiose track (No. 3), I fell in love with it at last year's Night Festival at the National Museum. It was the track for a dancer swiveling in a gigantic ambient-lit sphere.... gorgeous. I went back the next day to catch the performance again coz I was so in awe of the water dancing and fluttering through the sky. Truly world-class.
