Seeing the theme seems to be turning classical - here's a name to conjure with:

Carl Stalling

Let's see who was paying attention when they were growing up

Any takers?

To Rich - ELPs recording of Pictures must go down as technically the worst in history! Like most of their work, but this makes my ears bleed

Classical music
how about the theme from
Vision on ( music playing when they show the art work)
merry christmas mr lawrence (I think its called china)
the theme from Galdiators (?)

Sacrilege!

To Gary - If it is now moving from classical to movie themes - Clannad, The Theme From Harry's Game - a most depressing movie (the Irish 'troubles') but a truley glorious piece of music

 

[David Eagar]

Tp Rich - The sound quality is apalling, despite the musical intentions - Cream, Wheels of Fire Live, recorded some 5-6 years earlier sounds 1000% better. How far has computer technology moved ib the same time span?

And the recording engineer came up with this?????

I've heard better quality recordings of the period and I've heard worse! From a whole range of artists, I'm afraid the Yanks had the edge for many years in that field

 

[David Eagar]

This I can't imagine. Worth a new thread perhaps - The worst recodings in history?

 

[Rich]

Yes I probably should have said they were more consistent in the quality of their recordings, perhaps here engineers reserved the "quality" only for classical recordings based on the snobbery that existed within the industry at the time

 

[David Eagar]

I am in serious danger of committing a cardinal sin - I set this thread off, therefore I am the sole arbiter of what is good\bad music

I learnt form [pk] Miles Davis, there isn't good\bad music, it appeals to you or it doesn't

If it does, then so be it - nothing that anybody says will change this

Brilliant piece of music - haunting -
it was also from a TV programme - but i cannot remember what it was..

 

[GaryPanic]

the eve of war and Autmn Breeze(?)

You mixed up names, should have mentioned George Gershwin !

 

[Rich]

how about War of the worlds and

Awful, and made even worse by Burton

 

[GaryPanic]

no the music 's fine

also on a long drive it will keep the kids from fighting in the back seats

So will I'm a believer and Yellow submarine

The truth comes out at last. Rich is the guy selling all the Monkees memorabelia on Ebay.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Hmmm... the WORST recordings? If we're lucky, we've not heard many of them.

But then... "The Surfin' Bird" comes to mind as one that got out. One wonders whether to call that a release - or an escape. "Well everybody knows that the bird's a winner, well a bird bird bird, the bird's a winner...." with a non-melodic voice so full of gravel as to defy reason. I've actually heard wrestlers who could sing better.

Plus Richard Starky and ELP bootlegs/gadgets for free

Carl Stalling : Still no takers?
