Or there's George Benjamin's short opera 'Into the Little Hill', which is based on the story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

I heard a Gregorian Chant version of Loosing My Religion by R.E.M a little while ago, that was interesting haha.

That was the one

[StevieM]

Although, technically, it's not Gregorian chant (and it's ****** awful!)

[Earthling]

 

Where's the 'Like' button?

[StevieM]

 

Now THAT is fantastic!

Oh yes! I love these! Well to put it more accurately I think Rogrigo is good, but i LOVE Gabriella!

[TomDrummer]

For some weird music, Jojo Mayer/Nerve. Awesome "electronic" music actually played on acoustic instruments.

If you want to scare them, try Cryptopsy or Fleshgod Apocalypse... I need say no more

Not surprised! That's pretty spectacular playing!

 

As an aside, I went to see these guys (The Katona Twins) just before Christmas. While, they were technically brilliant, I had to leave half way through. It was meant to be a 'chamber concert', but they were wirelessly amplified. Despite it being a stereo setup, there was absolutely no panning on the sound so everything just came out of the same place. Despite sitting quite centrally, the position/location of the speakers meant that everything seemed to be coming from my left - despite the fact that they were both positioned slightly to my right. It was like listening through one side of a pair of headphones. My head couldn't cope with that so I left at the interval.

 

 

It actually sounds better to me on here that it did in the concert hall!

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but what music do you recommend for a sports achievement assembly?

 

Last year I used Script - Hall of fame but fancied a change this year!

[witch]

Here are some ideas

Best 60 Sports Songs to Rock Your Sports Party - Yahoo Voices - voices.yahoo.com

I quite like the idea of "You ain't seen nothing yet"

Traditionally it would be "Chariots of Fire"

[Trapper]

If you want them all to slowly drift off to sleep:

Do you really need to go any further than this..?

But seriously, I've used instrumental game soundtracks a few times. Managed to sneak in Silent Hill and System Shock 2 amongst Super Meat Boy and Minecraft before.

 

Edit: Ooh! Ooh! Lucasart games soundtracks! I ripped my Sam and Max Hit the road CD and have it for assemblies too...

When ever I want to push people out of their (mainstream) comfort zone I nearly always go straight for:

 

You can't beat a bit of TOOL!

[HallX]

George Formby?

 

Not a member of the GFS by any chance?

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Hell yes, but i'd go for both parts of this masterpiece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf3r2Tja0-8

 

All seventeen minutes of it!!
