The early stuff is a little sophomoric, but I was surprised the other day by how muscular and upbeat the middle period (Creation) stuff is. Must buy that book. And give Lloyd Cole a go - he passed me by first time around.<br /><br />Gorecki - I've listened to some but usually found it a little bland, but I'll have a listen. Thanks for the tip!The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-79575935921707840632011-06-21T09:43:10.777+01:002011-06-21T09:43:10.777+01:00Totally unconnected to Felt (sorry, never heard of...Totally unconnected to Felt (sorry, never heard of them, I'm a pleb), are you familiar with Henryk Gorecki's Totus Tuus? It's choral, very much in a similar vein to Lauridsen.

But I did find all the entries on Lawrence in the Creation biography <i>My Magpie Eyes Have Seen The Prize</i> extremely amusing.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-61135919474019469322011-06-20T18:47:31.672+01:002011-06-20T18:47:31.672+01:00I have a Felt mini-LP entitled "Crumbling the...I have a Felt mini-LP entitled "Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty", which must rank as one of the worst title ever.<br />Fortunately it's rather a good album as I recall. In fact I will go home and play it this evening!<br /><br />RobertGrumpy Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703709656407662867noreply@blogger.com
