The Sound of Music

Total volume of music files on my computer
8.59 GB. Sadly my downloading was cut down when I exceeded my broadband limit this month.

The last CD or cassette I bought
Hariprasad Chaurasia, Raag Malkhauns and some other raag I’ve forgotten. I adore Malkhauns

Songs playing right now
  • Maroon 5 – She Will Be Loved

  • Led Zep – When the Levee Breaks


Five albums that mean a lot to me
  • Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – Beatles

  • Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd

  • The Wall Part 1 – Pink Floyd

  • Division Bell – Pink Floyd

  • Delicate Sound of Thunder (both parts) – Pink Floyd


Favourite concept albums
See, I’m not really the type who analyses the concept behind albums and themes etc. If I like the music then I like the album! So I’m not going to fill anything here.

Five songs that mean a lot to me
  • Pink Floyd – Shine on you crazy diamond – The intro is absolutely mindblowing. Every time I hear it I have to stop whatever else I’m doing and just listen, especially during the bit when the guitar first starts

  • Dire Straits – Telegraph Road – I love the instrumental bit after the 13th minute or so

  • Pink Floyd – Time – The lyrics in this song make a lot of sense, in a pessimistic

  • Led Zep – No Quarter – A song to go high on!

  • Beatles – Can’t Buy Me Love – Call it childish or immature or whatever, this song never fails to make me happy!

Well, detracked, I hardly know the music that's on nowadays, I prefer the good old classic stuff! And suze, training is very much like school (not even college!) as we have class seven hours daily. I won't be setting foot in my office till August end. You seem to be having an amazing and stressful time in Ahd

Hi, came in thru abhimanyu's blog. Great to find a fellow floyd-straits-led zep-classical music fan. Agree that floyd's lyrics are often best when they have an air of pessimism... And your fav book pics are good too... but personally i like maugham's 'razor's edge' better than 'of human bondage'.Not many ppl would agree with that though :)

# Led Zep – No Quarter – A song to go high on!

Can't agree with you more!

I hope you were referring to the Live Version!
