Fauré's Requiem has some great elements, but I find it lacks the same sort of drama and pathos.

I picked up a Dinah Washington tape on the carboot the other day, and have had it on in the car - this came on this morning and stopped me in my tracks. Totally banging.

I know what you mean. It's considerably less mental, but you may appreciate this:



I'm not sure what it is: prog rock played on a mixture of traditional Korean instruments, with a hint of shtetl klezmer thrown in?

We brought Jambinai over twice this year, once for Womad and once of K-Music festival. Great band.

If you like this,. why not try; Polysics. Saw these in Camden somewhere about 8 years ago; awesome live

That's good fun and I can see how it could be great live. But it does rather leave me wishing it would go properly off-road in the middle, Melt Banana-style.

Spotify recommend this for me tonight. Currently listening for the sixth time in a row
