Darth Pazuzu (11-27-2010):
Hello everybody! :) I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

Well, in truth, I've never really been away. But it's felt like ages since I've posted anything brand-spanking new around here, as opposed to simply re-postings of my old chestnuts from AOTM. The thing is, I've been waiting for some special orders to come in, and believe me when I say it took quite a while! Special thanks must go to my extremely reliable brother, who's sort of my paid internet gofer (not having internet access at home - I'm a cheapskate!) and has the patience of a saint. I've racked up quite a bit of money on my "tab," but he knows I'm good for paying him back...EVENTUALLY. (There's always next year's tax refund, I suppose!) ;) Anyway, there were quite a few CD's which have sort of phased out of print over the years, and I couldn't even special-order them from Barnes & Noble or the even the Electric Fetus (a local downtown store). So I definitely owe my brother no small debt of gratitude.

"Wait" < "The Release" < (Tchaikovsky) "Symphony No. 6 In B Minor, Op. 74 ('Pathetique'): Fourth Movement" - The music playing over the end credits for "To Live And Die In L.A." (1985), "Death Wish II" (1982) and "The Music Lovers" (1970), respectively!

"In The Mouth Of Madness" - This is the theme from John Carpenter's 1995 horror film "In The Mouth Of Madness," composed by none other than the director himself! (As any Carpenter fan knows, he's composed the music for many of his films, including "Halloween" (1978) with its famous theme.) It's something of a metallic, hard-rock instrumental, not dissimilar to Metallica or Megadeth in their more melodic, mid-tempo modes (a la "Enter Sandman" or "Trust"). Interestingly enough, Dave Davies of the Kinks - who's a friend of Carpenter's - plays guitar on this track. Kind of cool that Davies plays lead guitar on a track that's in a style that he's more or less the godfather of (or had a small role in inventing at least)! :)

(Tchaikovsky) "Symphony No. 6 In B Minor, Op. 74 ('Pathetique'): Fourth Movement" / (Mahler) "Symphony No. 9 In D Major: Fourth Movement" - Between the two of them, these two classical pieces take up about 1/4 of the running time of both discs - 40 MINUTES, to be precise! Anyway, these two are probably the most famous adagios to ever serve as Finales to great symphonies. What is an ADAGIO, you may be asking? Well, ADAGIO is an Italian tempo designation, meaning SLOWLY, and it usually serves as either the second or third of a four-movement symphony. It's quite rare that an adagio serves as the Finale of a symphony, because symphonies usually climax energetic, brisk ALLEGROS. But Tchaikovsky's Sixth and Mahler's Ninth are two exceptions. (And as it so happens, both symphonies were the very last compositions completed by their composers before their deaths.) (One could even argue that the ADAGIO could almost be a classical sub-genre unto itself, other famous examples being the famous ones from Samuel Barber and Tomaso Albinoni.)

"Bi" < "Love Potion No. 9" < "Love Song For A Vampire" < "Spit It Out" - Not a joke, exactly. More like a train of thought gone somewhat humorously awry...! ;)

Mr. Mirage (11-27-2010):
Truthfully, I like the second disc more, but then, it has Annie on it.

retrojoe (11-27-2010):
I like seeing tracks 8 & 9 on disc 1 and 5 (a particular favorite of mine) & 12 on disc 2.

kmbone (11-29-2010):
I'm a big fan of the first disc closer. Especially with that conductor!

doowad (12-02-2010):
I agree with MM.
