What Are You Listening To?

I'm going through my Satriani collection to generate a list of 10 songs for my brother-in-law.
 
…and now currently, Joe Satriani "The Extremist" - Summer Song, another one of my favourites

Ah, The Extremist, the first Satriani album I ever brought. I got that one after hearing it playing on the radio (Virgin Radio on AM in Bournemouth just after the station launched). That was a few years ago...
 
It's the only Satriani album I have stored on my Brennan 'jukebox' courtesy of my elder son 🙂

Currently listening to Skunk Anansie - Weak

 
Class video as well on this one.
 
I wouldn't try understanding these lyrics 🙂

Porcupine Tree - Nostalgia Factory

 
I don’t think this is on youtube, sorry.

I love the Monument Valley soundtrack. It’s a game where you move the character, Princess Ida aka the silent princess, through architecture that uses line of sight optical illusions. It’s an album of tracks used in different levels of the game.

At normal volume, it’s very soothing & atmospheric. I find it the perfect background music, turned down low, when I’m reading as it’s not too distracting. Turn it up & I can bask, & feel energised, in the atmospheric feel.

edited to add:-

Oh, found it after all.

Oh, it’s also good to drown out loud ambient sounds when trying to sleep: constant city traffic etc.
 
This is by far the most played track in my music library: I keep coming back to again & again. It's "Carrickfergus" sung by Charlotte Church. She was such a unique talent, especially in her early career: the range & power of an adult soprano but, still the voice of a child. I have all of her albums when she sang classical. This is from one of her last before switching to sing pop. I bought her first pop album but, didn't like it. I hoped she would go back to singing classical but, she admitted in an interview that after switching to singing pop she can't go back to singing classical: different vocal muscles that need to be kept trained by using constantly; "use it or lose it".

I don't know how to put the youtube video on here but, the link is below:-
