New music needed
« on: July 27, 2011, 02:27:57 pm »
i am looking for some new Artists / Music and thought it might be easier to ask here first. After a long days work i like to sit in my easy chair and listen to Easy going / classical tunes. really enjoy accoustic guitar with a not to hectic or sometimes no backing at all with a bit of vocals thrown in sometimes. Piano is also nice but not something over the top rather light tinkering.

suggestions anyone ?? :)

Give some ideas of what you currently enjoy - then others may be able to provide artists who do similar stuff

One of my favorites. Two UK guitarists, but they have gone through many iterations are Acoustic Alchemy. Smooth Jazzy type stuff.
Caution, whatever you read above, may, wonder of wonders, contain some level of jocularity.

well that my problem most of my music is older commercial type stuff , Clapton, dire straits etc. But i recently found a CD in one of those bargain bin boxes called Tranquility intrumental pieces and it has sparked a new interest in my listening so thats why im asking for suggestions.

Well, I have recently discovered Jeff Golub, jazz guitarist. Very good, smooth jazz playing. Of course there are other favourites like Peter White, Lee Ritenour etc.. Not to mention Jose Padilla...

I find myself looking for a lot of older stuff as the lyrics today don't make sense but then again the eighties was worse.  At least then you still had the likes of Dire Straits, Clapton,...  Interesting wonder how viable it is for musicians to make make a full length LP with downloads allowing you to choose one song. 

I look forward to buying equipment as the guys on the forum I meet always demo their music and it is always soemthing I never heard.

Will post some here as soon as i remember the names

At the moment these are titles Mosiaco and Jewelbox by Govi (beautiful guitar)
Acoustic Alchemy and Peter White was mentioned before.
Older stuff Air - Moon Safari, Jennifer Warnes The Hunter, Dire Straits Love over Gold, Brothers in Arms

For nice acoustical guitar I can recommend Will Ackerman's music. Fits your description of easy listening!

wow - i have that disc as well as one of its sister discs called Divinity - though you may not like divinity so much - it leans toward the indian instrumental type of thing ie sitar etc 

never imagined anyone else from here would come across it and actually like it

some of his other tracks you might want to listen to are (in no particular order)

1) barcelona sunsets
2) Rubia
3) pure paradise
4) red roses
5) isla del sol
6) sapphire dreams

theres plenty more - but those are some of my favourites of him

and also dont forget Rodrigo Y Gabriella - they are a spanish Mexican couple - no background music - just two guitars playing

i really like the live version of Hanuman on the Jay Leno show

Nee man ek moet net keer of dit gaan beeter ;D ;D It's our raining seasion.....So most runways under water...1 of my MI-8 Choppers went technical today and the one Antenof 28 blew a engine :o :o :o So now we wont make deliveries...... But we will get there. Even if I have to make my Pilot fly the Aircraft with one engine ;D ;D ;D ;D No that wont happen ;)

Yes.... Armik is a very nice music to have and relax with a nice Johnny Walker black Label, good friends and nice food... Jy sal nie spyt wees nie. Laat weet my as en waar jy die Cd's in die hande kry, ek wil nog so paar gaan koop.

Geniet dit.
