LOVE that clarinet solo!



You may enjoy Jean-Philippe Goude early stuff though. Tell me here if you did.

Love her or hate her, you can't say enough about Tori's piano playing. She's got the chops!

If you love this, please yourself and go listen to Jean-Philippe Goude´s "Ainsi de nous" album. You may really enjoy it. I promise.

Comforting to read that I'm not alone hearing Harmonium.... Even if it's just a short movement.

Whoa I just liked a Tori Amos song!
Posted 5 years ago by obankenobi    [ Reply ]
Apparently I dislike clarinets less than I used to - I bumped my rating up from 2 to 3.

(But I still hit the 'play something else' button).

Or Jean-Philippe Goude and his "Ainsi de nous" album. You should listen to it, you, cool Bud.

It could be Genesis in the early days, but it has also a SAGA sound

I'd buy any album that sounded like this, regardless of who recorded it. Now, if she started singing...not so much. Easily my highest rated Tori Amos song.

Nah, there were dozens of rock and pop songs with those instruments before this one.  Songs by The Rolling Stones, Moody Blues, King Crimson, ELO, Roxy Music, etc...

And those of us who are Tori fans will think that this is awesome too. Yes, she can grate after a bit. Yes, hasn't done a really good album since maybe Scarlet's Walk. But still with the talent and the soul and the strange, pixie poet woman lyrics and the piano oh that piano. So you know, she's aw'right.

Why hadn't Dalkey disposed of the bodies as instructed? Why did he keep buying this rubbishy tea? And why wouldn't the courts let him legally change his awful name? 

Meanwhile, with a certain wave of her trowel, the elderly matron signaled to her youthful accomplice to get a move on. And so he did, with stealthy step and acquisitive intent, up the winding stair...

If the "King of Sappiness" you are referring to has the initials "K.G.", then the clarinet is relatively safe.  He primarily plays a soprano saxophone.

This so reminds me of Harmonium. Does anyone else hear that, or for that matter, know their music. I'd be going back to the late 70's for that, I guess. They were a great band to see live!
