Electronic music and Sleep

My favourite moment: Me alone in my car driving to nowhere land with strangers passing by in their big and small cars eagerly waiting to get to their destination...

One of my favourite hobbies is to sample new music and/or genre... not necessarily newly released albums but music new for me.

Music is a part of my life 24x7... well, music is me. Its brings out so many emotions: makes you laugh, cry, miss people, fall in love, anger.....

With the world where I am sleeps, I'd like to stick to some relaxing music to suit the mood.

I feel I'm close to becoming a junkie coz after death defying sound and some head banging, I prefer to listen to the soft and sedative sound of electronic. well, just a thought..

So I check my trusty iTunes for some nice music and come across Télépopmusik. Their dreamy music.. it just soothes all the stress away. Gives me the feeling as if I stepped into an old Hollywood movie.

I see remixed / dance version of these songs and wonder why would one want to rob the originals of their beauty??

Some of the Telepopmusik's songs that should not be missed:

Breathe

Love can damage your health

Close

Yesterday was a lie

Smile

I enjoy the company of some good music while driving and mr. radio jockey at 95 fm makes my day sometimes by playing a song where I can sing along really loud. However, I need to keep a backup of some of my personal choices as well for one of those rainy days when my friendly neighbour RJ's music notes do not match mine.

My kinda music

The 80's rocked man!!

Before retiring to bed, listening to Bruce Hornsby and The Range - The way it is

You can get the girl out of the 80's, but you cannot get the 80's out of the girl!!!

Just stumbled upon in my iTunes library Dean Martin's - Sway...

Perfect first dance at one's wedding. As sleeping beauty sleeps in deep slumber, she most definitely would have been dreaming of this song in repeat mode.

These are the first links I found to associate with the song (which may not be the best). In case you can suggest me better links to review the songs, please do share

Good times gonna come

A couple of months back, I got an album of Aqualung after listening to their song in one of OC's episodes.

The album "Strange and beautiful" somehow reminds one of the era gone by. It's something you can listen to while driving on a long lonely road: restrospecting with a melancholic tone to some extent.

I liked the music for the soothing, melodic yet sedating tone, best for listening to on a rainy day.

The singer Matthew Hales has crisp voice that I haven't heard in sometime, quite addictive!

The opening note of the song, Good times gonna come is eerie but the strange sinking note picks up later with positive under tones.

The realization of Love found, love lost and then found again in the song Brighter than sunshine is borrowed in the movie A Lot like love.. aptly associated I must say.

I am picking the album up after a long time hence cannot comment on much songs as they need to be revisited.

On the whole, I would recommend the music to people who enjoy the soft tones of the piano, some dreamy and thoughtful/ mellow lyrics... perfect to listen to when you want the time to just go by...

Me the movie buff

Being an avid movie viewer, I thought I would dedicate a full page to the movies I have loved watching while growing up and some of which I just can't get enough of.

I share this passion for watching good movies with my brother which in turn is instilled from our dad who never missed any of those James Bond movie. True that his choice of movies is totally different from mine, but that does not stop me from sharing with him the story of any good movie I see and recommending him to watch it as well. Being in the same age group, my brother and I share the same taste in movies so it becomes a joy to talk at length even about about particular instances we loved from a particular movie... Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is one I can recall.

The obsession does not stop at just liking and seeing the movie n number of times but goes one level ahead to exploring their soundtrack, certain dialogues that just stick ( courtesy The last Samurai, Journey to the west ...).

It would be unfair for me to name the best movie I have seen by far as the list would be endless and I could not rate them. Hence, I shall be updating this page with the movie I enjoyed watching and would recommend watching from now on...
