Goal

#1

it'll be the only one scored by a Scotsman this evening

Commodores -- Machine Gun (Pure funk)

No' a bad show the nicht, despite the absence of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Bryan must be reserving a slot for them next Wednesday.

Wednesday

'Bourée' - Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson's interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach.

It really is very good!

Have we had ONOMATOPOEIA as a theme?

We could include words like BANG! or GONG.

Clocks cover version by The Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Laguna sunrise - Black Sabbath
A swingin' safari - Bert Kaempfert
Sylvia - Focus
Jessica - Allman Brothers

Big second for the FiD and the Commodores (#3)

Joe
Linlithgow

#2 at the risk of spoiling the highlights at 11pm,

RANG!

OK, serious suggestion for Wednesday (hopefully I'll get at least a mention for this):

One of these days - Pink Floyd

DC

Bruce Springsteen - Once Upon a Time In The West

David Bowie - Crystal Japan

Van Morrison - Spanish Steps

Mark Knopfler - Irish Boy or The Long Road

Ry Cooder - I Think It's Going To work Out Fine

If you have not heard Mark Knopflers Cal soundtrack then I think you could be in for a treat with Irish Boy particularly.

The Clash - Menforth Hill or their version of Time Is Tight.

Herb Alpert - Rise

or Taste of Honey.




SG made me re-visit HA after his walk in the Black Forest last week or the week before.

'Slaughter on 10th Avenue' ... Mick Ronson

'Frankenstein' ... Edgar Winter Group
'Fire on High' ... ELO
'Hocus Pocus' ... Focus
'Maggot Brain' ... Funkadelic
'Honky Tonk, Pt 1 & 2' ... Bill Doggett
'Alice in Blunderland' ... Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band
'Is this music?' ... Teenage Fanclub
'At the Edge' ... Stiff Little Fingers

'Gong' ... Sigur Ros (!!!)

Bron-Yr-Aur - Led Zeppelin

Brilliant piece of guitar wizardry from "Physical Graffiti", one of the best instrumentals evah!

Paul from Ayr

Great suggestion Kene (the Ronno one though I'm sure the others are fine too)

'Lily Was Here' - Dave Stewart + Candy Dulfer

'Sleepwalk' - Brian Setzer Orchestra

Vangelis' Chariots of Fire must be one of the most recognisable pieces of music.
Just about every pilot I know has guilty secret, and it is the Top Gun album, usually tucked away in the glove box of their car. So can I dedicate the Top Gun Theme to all of Scotland's pilots who fantasize about being Tom Cruise?

Wednesday

'The Arrival of the Queen of Sheeba to Galway' - De Dannan

Frankie Gavin's interpretation of George Frideric Handel.

It really is very good!

Brian Eno 'Another Green World' theme musivc to 'Arena'
Simple Minds 'Themes For Great Cities'
Japan 'Canton'
David Sylvian 'Ö÷²¥´óÐã'
David Bowie 'Speed of Life'
David Bowie 'Warazawa'
Phil Manzanera 'Diamond Head'
Phil manzanera 'Island'
Andy Mackay 'Ride Of The Valkyries'
Andy Mackay 'Pyramid Of Night'
Andy Mackay 'Armchair thriller Theme Tune'
Roxy Music 'Hula Kula'
Bryan Ferry 'Nocturne'

J.O'B.

Andy Mackay And The Metaphors version of the Ferry/Mackay song 'Love Is The Drug', so very different to the original;

Right, GIO please The Munsters Theme ~ T. Escalators pure Rockabilly or wuz it Psychobilly

The 90's dance scene gave rise to a new intensity of instrumetal music, much of it technology based. In it's wake came an ambient/chillout genre which was not necessarily technology based:

It is accepted that GIO has populist tendencies for obvious reasons but that notwithstanding, I don't think a whole genre of very popular music music should be excluded and therefore request:

Dance

Space Shanty - Leftfield

Chillout

Les Nuits - Nightmares On Wax - this is beautiful, real instruments - check it out!

Traveller (Kid Loco's Once Upon A Time In the East Mix) Talvin Singh

Strange - Hidden Orchestra the best jazz album ever to come out of Scotland, I heard them on Steven Duffy by accident and fell in love with this album, deserves to be heard - and I'm not a jazz fan but one day this will be heard everywhere

Chico's Groove - the Chemical Brothers

Modern Classical:

Bnedictus - Karl Jenkins (the latin choral section is part of the music)

Modern World

Serpents - Nitin Sawhneyagain the voices are part of the music,absolutely amazing.

Big 2nd for Senga's Wings Track and Norrie's Ry Cooder: but if I can't manage to persuade GIO to play Nightmares On Wax - Les Nuits - which is really radio friendly then let's be really populist and play

Jessica - the Allman Brothers Band which we'll be hearing anyway, no doubt.It's good though, if over exposed.

regardez youse

henri

And there's more...

'Tequila' - The Champs
'Soul Finger' - The Bar-Kays
'Let There Be Drums' - Sandy Nelson

I once walked into a pub during the Edinburgh Jazz Festival just as Acker Bilk was starting to play 'Stranger On The Shore'...which was nice!

Hey you, get your own theme ideas LOL!

I've repeated included that suggestion for months now but to no avail..

#35

Fortunately Dignity is not an instrumental - have the Proclaimers done an isntrumental?

Although Madmac might beg to differ - how could I ahve forgotten the 1st Genius of Synth:

Arabesque No1- Isao Tomita

there's a whole world out there who've never heard this beacuse they were born too late - dazzling -Get It On.

regardez youse

henri

I've decided that

Undergrowth - Hidden Orchestra is just as radio friendly, if not more than Strange, so let's hear it!

regardez youse

henri

All this user's posts have been removed.Why?

and not forgetting...

Tango Square - The Gotan Project from Tango 3:00

Rumble - Link Wray

Each to their own 'enri.

I was however wondering if certain artistes due to their specific genre would meet today's criteria i.e. Jarre, Wakeman, Y M O, Kraftwerk, Carlos, Tomita etc...

Therefore, keepin it safe... Hip Hug Her ~ Booker T & the MG's

Oh .. and

The Snakes Farewell - Horslips


regardez youse

henri

Theme One - Van der Graaf Generator

I missed out on monday, so could this be a chance for The Bonzo's Intro and Outro, not really a lyric.

The Ventures do a better version of Wipeout, but then again I think Bob the Builder does a better Mambo Number 5

All this user's posts have been removed.Why?

How could we forget:

Peaches En Regelia - Frank Zappa,.

and a big 2nd for DC's Floyd track

regardez youse

henri

Shonen Knife - "Milky Way" (sounds like a surf-rock theme to a sci-fi B-movie)

The B-52's - "Follow Your Bliss" (great closer to the Cosmic Thing album)

Dixie Chicks - "Lil' Jack Slade" (a scorching little bluegrass track that shows off what amazing musicians Emily and Martie are)

Rich in North Carolina

Hey, hey, hey Glenn is back!

Ska Instrumentals are fab...

'Bonanza Ska' - Carlos Malcolm
'Napoloeo Solo' - Lyn Taitt
'For A Few Dollars More' - The Upsetters
'Top Secret' - Winston Wright
'The Third Man Theme' - Granville Williams Orchestra
'Guns Of Navarone' - The Skatalites (who are playing in Edinburgh and Glasgow in November...well worth seeing)

There are quite a few Madness tracks. Off the top of my head:

* One Step Beyond
*
* Night Boat to Cairo

Seems to be a bit of a Ska tradition too, given
* The Specials (or the Skatalites) - Guns of Navarone
* Rico - Sea Cruise

Non-Ska tracks:
* Moby - Porcelain (damn, it has some vocals in, but I always think of it as an instrumental)
* Pink Floyd - Great Gig in the Sky Has a vocalist, but no words
* Pink Floyd - One of These Days
* The Nice - America
* Mike Oldfield - Etude Gorgeous and short!
* Human League - Get Carter

Can't forget *the* genius guitar instrumental of:

* Eric Johnson -
Definitely one for the Guitar Hero players out there!

LA FORZE D'HERCOLE /LO BALLO DELL'INTORCIA from THE BONES OF ALL MEN by PHILIP PICKETT, RICHARD THOMPSON AND THE FAIRPORT RHYTHM SECTION

GOT A BUZZ ON from WE SAW A BOZO UNDER THE SEA by ZOOT HORN ROLLO

Mary-doll, you listening to GONG makes the campaign worthwhile. Hopefully others who may not have heard them before will too.

#31

Agreeing with HH here, and so:
* Leftfield - Melt (spot the advert...)
* Art of Noise - Moments in Love
* A Man Called Adam - Estelle Lovely African rhythms/instruments there
* Nightmares on Wax - Mission Venice
* Orbital - Beached (on The Beach OST)
* Kinobe - Slip Into Something More Comfortable
* Fatboy Slim - The Weekend Starts Here

and not quite in that genre
* Art of Noise - Close to the Edit

#39

HH, have you heard The Gotan Project's version of Round Midnight?

As no-one's gone for the Shadows here, let me get my shout in:

* The Shadows - Classical Gas
rather than yon other track

And in that 70s vein, there's the one that always seemed to be playing in the Art Room at school:
* Popcorn
alternating with
* Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds
from which Eve of the War doesn't quite fit tonight, but
* Max Mondo - The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine
does.
