Donnerwetter!

Here we got another entry from the Environments series.

It's a combo disc, as shown in the original Lp cover:

THIS LINK GOOD FOR SEVEN DAYS.

PERMANENT LINK (assuming FileFactory responds).

Good luck, campers!  

PS Evidently “The Psychologically Ultimate Thunderstorm” contains traffic sounds!  You can hear car horns in several places.  This is because it was recorded from somebody’s upper-floor balcony in NYC.

PPS "Donnerwetter" is German for "thunder weather," and I understand it is sometimes used as an expletive.  See you Thursday!

 

Please Stand By

 My file host, FileFactory, has gone squirrelly.  Let's skip today's post.  Please join me on Monday for, I hope, a Big Fat File.

Don't Do It Wrong!

There’s nothing inoffensive, but nothing particularly inspirational either.  Check the liner notes.  Perhaps you can tell me why the Mayans are more spiritual than Buddhists or cannibals or Vikings.

See you  Thursday!

  

You'll Never Forget, Will Ya?

From the fabled Y2K ... comes the kind of release this blogger drools over, in its sheer audacity and/or wackiness.

01. Thung Kwian Sunrise (6:07)

02. Temple Music (3:00)

03. Rainforest (1:49)

You'll find more illumination in the 12-page booklet.  See you on Monday, fellow animal listeners!

  

For the Twelfth!

Since we don't have eighteen months in the year, we're never gonna have a 18/12. So here we are on 1/12.

01. 1812 Overture, Op. 49 (15:39)

02. Symphony #5 In E Minor, Op. 64 - 1. Andante, Allegro Con Anima (15:29)

03. Symphony #5 In E Minor, Op. 64 - 2. Andante Cantabile, Con Alcuna Licenza (13:12)

04. Symphony #5 In E Minor, Op. 64 - 3. Valse: Allegro Moderato (6:01)

05. Symphony #5 In E Minor, Op. 64 - 4. Finale: Andante maestoso (11:25)

It's an interesting import, “made in Belgium.”  I immediately noticed that the banner across the bottom does not spell “minutes” correctly.  I would have wished for more flourishes in the “1812,” but it’s an OK performance of some good music.

See you Thursday!

  

Here's Hoping!

Here in the Central Plains of the USA we've been dry for awhile. But the weather prognosticators say rain is coming in a few hours. In that spirit, we present ...

One track:  Thunderstorm & Chopin (53:21)

Somebody explain to me why thunder crackling is supposed to help me relax!  It should come as no surprise that the piano playing is mixed loud enough to compete with the thunder and rain.

If you feel relaxed, let somebody know!  See you Monday.

Of course, I can't promise WHAT KIND of dreams may come.  

When you awaken, please don’t sue me to recover these 45 minutes—I warned you in advance!  However, if you want some nice background music to listen to at the bowling alley or while touring a sawmill, this is for you.

When you return from dreamland, come back on Thursday!

Why o why?  “Money, my dear boy.”  You could argue that this is a handy compendium for those who are fans, but not fans enough to have rounded up the original recordings.

At least they admit these aren’t the originals.  And here’s the rub, unless you’re one of those lazy semi-fans:  To the extent that these performances deviate from the original recordings, they’re worthless.  And to the extent that they replicate the original recordings (nowhere, in fact), they’re unnecessary!

Well, now you may grouse for yourself.  What do you think?
