Tonight's Thriller Free Zone...

[acroyear]

...started late as traffic was horrible getting out of Tysons.  Got in just in time for 6 kids...hope I didn't miss everybody else...

This year I'm going to shuffle up a bit more (having put together an ipod mix)

• The Gathering - Herbal Movement
• Stick Men - The Firebird Suite (yes, Stravinsky played on a Chapman Stick, a specially made Touch Guitar, and all the percussion Pat Mastelloto can muster)
• Alan Parsons Project - A Cask of Amontillado
• BOC - Veteran of the Psychic Wars (one of my all-time seasonal favs)
  
  
• Peter Gabriel - I Don't Remember
• Ozric Tentacles - Pyramidion
• The Fixx - The Sign of Fire
• Pain of Salvation - Ashes
  
  
• Pink Floyd - Marooned
• The Gathering - Nighttime Birds
• The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows
• Uriah Heap - Lady in Black
  
  
• Metallica - Enter Sandman
• Pink Floyd - One of these Days (Pompeii version)
• The Cure - Lullaby
• The One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater
  
  
• King Crimson - Dangerous Curves
• The Police - Synchronicity 2 (another of the regulars each year)
• David Bowie - Time Will Crawl

after this, things had been quiet out there for some time, so I switched to classical/movies and brought it inside...

• Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - Hoist the Colours Suite
• Webern - 6 Pieces for Orchestra (Sir Simon Rattle)
• Stravinsky - Rite of Spring part 2 (Michael Tilson Thomas)
• The Dark Crystal - Finale
  
  
• Ligeti - Lux Aterna (from 2001)
• Varese - Deserts (2nd Interpolation)
• Close Encounters - The Abduction of Barry (oddly, these last three are all in very similar styles so I almost couldn't tell when they changed!)
• Mahler - Symphony 7 mvt 1 (MTT again)
  
  
• Takemitsu - Funeral Music from Black Rain (Marin Alsop)
• Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky Cantata (Previn)
• Star Trek IV - Crash and Whale Fugue
