RODRIGO - Concierto de Aranjuez
This is a musical masterpiece.
It touches the very depths of my soul
every time I listen to it.
To truly understand it's meaning,
you should listen to it in it's entirety.
My favorite rendition, which was the first I heard of this song,
was a jazz / orchestral interpretation by Miles Davis
called Sketches of Spain
which truly highlights Miles' pure genius.
It wasn't until later that I stumbled across this version of
Concierto de Aranjuez which was a composition for classical guitar and orchestra
by the Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo and was written in 1939.
Herbie Hancock - ROCKIT
Herbie Hancock pioneered embraced Hip Hop music
during a time when Hip Hop was considered a fad.
By utilizing the DJ as an instrumentalist
was abstract and groundbreaking.
The rest is music history.
Gorillaz - Dare
GORILLAZ is a virtual band created in 1998
by Damon Albarn of Blur and Jamie Hewlett,
co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl.
The band is composed of four animated band members:
2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel.
BJORK -All Is Full of Love (LIVE)
BJORK is a wonderful spirit & has always been a breath of fresh air.
Her music & artistry have always given me joy and inspiration.
The lyrics of this song remind me of my son.

MUSETTA - Ophelia's Song (DNA Remix)
Ophelia's Song (DNA Remix)
MUSETTA are Marinella Mastrosimone & Matteo Curcio,
an eccletic electronic lounge duo from Milan, Italy.
This track is kinda of a down tempo Trip-Hop waltz.
I remember while I was working on this remix,
I had a DVD of Circue du Soleil playing
in the background for inspiration.
Can you imagine those clowns and this music?
