Please don't take this the wrong way but is there a limit to the number of posts to a thread? This topic is very interesting but it is up to 100 posts now and I would have thought it exhausted as a topic.  Just an observation not a criticism.  Glynn

Tree music.

To answer Glynn's question: no, there is no limit to the number of posts. There is an automatic archiving feature that kicks in after an given number of posts on a thread, but you can click on the archive at the top of the thread to find the older posts.
 
Personally, I find that one can never tell that a subject has been truly exhausted until it already has. And hopefully I will have shut up by then.
 
So what music have I been listening to? Was planning to put on a CD of Bach's St Matthew's Passion for Easter, but opted for Mendelssohn's string quintets. Had a most excellent mental musical workout during a Charles Ives marathon in Amsterdam a few weeks back. Played a CD by Paul van Kemenade ft. Ernst Reijseger (and reminisced about the old amateur workshop led by Paul where we often did Ballad of The Fallen). Started name-dropping . . .

I don't think this topic can ever be exhausted; what I'm listening to now changes about as often as now changes.  I, for one, could have posted at least once a day since my previous listing.

Thanks for clarifying.  OK - Seth Lakeman's new album 'Word of Mouth'and Sting 'The Last Ship'. Also   some old New Orlean's stuff (Maryland March and That's My Home') and 'Beggin' originally by The Four Seasons and now Madcon as my wife is part of a tap dance group that does it. Glynn

I was just watching the fifth episode of the new Cosmos series; and as it nears the end of the episode, it quotes Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, which I've always thought was an amazing piece of music.
 
So, thinking that it would be a cool tune for somebody like Dream Theater, I was delighted to find a nice live version from Liquid Tension Experiment.

And I just watched Dream Theater's live Dark Side of the Moon, which is wonderful.

Robert , I concur :  Dito   Life changes from on moment to the next , as does the shape of an amoeba . As active musicians ,WE  feel the need for a variety of active stimuli that triggers the neurons in out brain to create spontaneous interactive phenomenon as in

Based on recommendations above, I got hold of a copy of Animal Logic 2 which I'm enjoying. I guess this must have come out around the same time as Stanley's 'Find out' Album as his playing has a similar feel.
 
And tenuously carrying on Dave's Dream Theater listening, I've been listening to the Winery Dogs album a lot this week. Messrs portnoy, Kotzen and Sheehan giving it large - love Billy's playing.

Tree Music was cool.
Balsa Wood = light pop
Iron Wood = Heavy Metal
Blood Wood = Death Metal

Not to highjack this thread but I thought that I wood offer some wood trivia since Alembic Inc. is The place of SWELL wood !  
 
There really is a type of wood called   Iron Wood  . I have some left over scraps from someone that had a back yard deck built from it. It is the heaviest wood that I have ever handled . It is also very gummy when you try to cut it and is hard on saw blades .
