    Good stuff. 8/10 seems about right again.

    hi everyone---could I ask a small favor please?

    my internet connection is too slow to watch video, and sometimes even to get to a site, like youtube, where videos are linked.

    when you post the link to the song, could you please also say the title and artist? I might have it, or might know, and then might be able to join in to an extent...

    Sorry for posting out of order, but, bloody hell, that's spine-tingling stuff! That's a 9.5 from me!

    I had to google it myself to find out, but it's a passage from the Faust Cantata by the Soviet composer Alfred Schnittke, depicting (I believe) Faust's descent into Hell. The singer here is going at it hammer-and-tongs.

    I'm glad you liked it, Loka. And yes, it's the section where the devil sings a mocking and menacing tango of Faust's descent into Hell.

    Yes. I'm not too familiar with PotF, though - I mostly listen to classical, and when I don't, it's usually Jazz - but they're alright. Pekka Pohjola and Sibelius are a couple of my Finnish favourites.

    am hoping to bump start this thread a bit...

    and maybe someone can give papayahed's song a listen?

    and if you are up for it---I watched insurgent recently (really enjoyed it) and a number of songs played during the closing credits. this one in particular struck me---sacrifice by zella day...

    I'll take that challenge!

    I enjoyed it (I'm a bit of a sucker for country music), so that's an 8/10 from me.
