Just some music...
Monday, September 11, 2006
If you were less like me, i know we would.
So, my week off is over, back to work again.
But the good thing is that i have ordered the tickets for going away in, two weeks. One less problem.
I have not slept well for the whole week, i hope i can blame that on the full moon. Because this week i am going to get the results of my bloodtests i did last week. "Danger! Danger!" as Steve Irwin would have said..if he were still with us. I find it hard to accept that he is gone.
This sunday it is election-time in sweden, and i have been trying to avoid all the bullshitting and lying..i have decided what to vote for a long time ago (yes, i am a good concerned citizen that votes). What i vote for is not your business...but some seem shocked that i am not a left-winger..haha. Well let me tell you this, i have nothing but contempt for the leftwing-mentality. There is always some other that must do what YOU should do. Leftwing-mentaly drives forth the laziness and "that is not MY concern..it is someone elses job" attitude.
Me, i think that responsibility is a key word. Take responsibility for your actions, for what you say and what you do. Do not hide behind that what seems convenient, do not be afraid of taking the longer path, do not rush forward blindly and missing everything that which is not in your straight ahead view.
Just stop...and think.
Thank you for your attention and good night.

Fabio Frizzi...
...is an interesting myth:
He is not existing..it is just an nom-de-guerre for Vincenzo Tempera
He is the brother of Fabrizio Frizzi (who seems to be the Ricky Lake of Italy ??)
He IS Fabrizio Frizzi !
But to me he is the composer of one of my absolutly favorite soundtracks ever: The Beyond ( or "E tu vivrai nel terrore... l’aldilà!" as is the original italian title)
It is an old italian psychedelic zombiemovie (not really, but i cannot find another way to describe it..). But that does not prepare anyone for the music...strings, flutes, choires, piano, bass, drums, Mellotrons..Yes you´ve got it..it is progressive & symphonic. But not in the boring self-obsessed way that was common in the 70s.
Nonono, this is a completly different beast. Actually, it is very sinister and scary but also melodic..i loved it when i heard it the first time..and i love it now.
Fabio is a real genious at using repeating themes, but always with a new angle. It never get to musical masturbation, very few and sparse solos. And he never abandons the songs for the instruments andthe sound is smooth and organic. What more can you one ask for?
I remember (well, kind of) about five years ago when i got home from the pub..i fell asleep on the floor when i got home while listening to this highly addictive (as in bloody good, pun intended) piece of music. It took me some years to get hold of the music on CD...at last i found it on a american site for the crazy price of 600 SEK..i did not hesitate for a second since it was an limited edition promo (with the music from The Gates of Hell also on it). Now you can find it on Amazon.com for 15 bucks, but that is another story ;)
One of the few CDs in my collection that i probably never get rid of..and one of the first i would save in case of a fire. It is just such wonderful and different music that gives me a feeling that almost no other record can give me .The only others i can remember right now is:
Mayhem "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" (THE Black Metal record if you ask me)
Burzum "Daudi Baldrs" (pagan ambient?)
Bo Hansson "Sagan om ringen/Lord of the Rings" (space-jazz??)
This is autumn music. So now you know.
