Slow Moment

[geoshot]

Mindful "Vinyl Friday" has, for the most part, remained wedded to Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie-Woogie type of music despite encouraging the posting of all types including so-called "Classical", I thought it would be nice to have somewhere to head where the aforementioned (or anything vaguely contemplative) may be found and when a SD thread gets too heated and the best thing to do is ‘chill’ rather than start another lets beat-up BASC or CP thread!

I’ll kick things off with this:

New Music Show - Nordic Music Days & Kraftwerk's Autobahn - BBC Sounds

Cutting-edge and experimental new music in live performance, plus interviews and features.

Kicks off with a very atmospheric peice using - what sounds to my un-schooled ear - just two notes!

The one and only…..makes you contemplate so much and think of so many, and never fails to bring a lump to my throat.

Something to remind those of a certain age and sensibility in how Christmas was once enjoyed or at least imagined:

Village Christmas by Laurie Lee - 1. Childhood - BBC Sounds

Derek Jacobi reads Laurie Lee's evocative portrait of England in the last century.
