[linux-audio-dev] Musical references

Hi! Tonight they aired "The Last Night of The Promps" on TV, and (as always?) I sit a little tear-eyed after the rendition of Elgars "Jerusalem". But then again ... Didn't ELP do an even better arrangement on "Brain Sallad Surgery"? To the rescue: I found this site with midi.GS renditions of most of ELPs production. Those people are some real die-hard fans :) http://home.modemss.brisnet.org.au/~mlevoi/elp1to10.html It is interresting to notice how the midi-drums on "Tarkus", thru different versions, evolves from rudimentary to enjoyable (for some value of "joy".) Mmmm ... And yes, they do have a Jerusalem on site, that clearly shows how Emerson extended the intro, the inbetween verses as well as the ending (which ends up as a surprise.) Listening to Timidty playing these files are of course a bit like casually browsing thru the ELP songbook, You won't get the feel of the playing-style of the time. To the rescue: http://www.progarchives.com Some of the entries are only brief descriptions of the band, other entries includes complete discographies as well as sample songs in mp3 format (Zappa:Peaches in Regalia anyone?). It is not a complete archive (there is no Bjørk/Sugarcubes nor Savage Rose), but, anyhow, I think you can have a good time browsing around there for the coming week ... Have fun :) // Jens M Andreasen
