VANESSA MAE/Night Flight

I stopped trying to fish around for inspiration from others...humans are just....human, so I turn to nature, art and...MUSIC!

I particularly like Track 5 on Vanessa Mae's "Subject to Change" - Night Flight.

Of course there are some dubious moments, like when she talk-sings, but all in all I'd have to say her work is quite an agreeable style of electro-classic fusion.

I remember when my Sinophilic Classical Music Loving mate first gave me her music, I was rather dubious cos all I knew of her was that she seemed like a bit of an attention seeker and had "corrupted" classical music by needing to sexify it so...

In any case I am much less judgemental and rigid in how I think now...the girl has talent, who cares how she chooses to present herself and/or classical music!

Exciting! This is the best music out of oz I've heard in a while! Can't believe they're as yet unsigned- if I was a label I would so sign them...Tessa's voice speaks for itself...honestly reminds me of when I first heard Kate Ceberano....absolutely gorgeous! Hopefully they play some local shows soon :)

Check out their myspace or their webpage(my fav="mellow") and here's some youtube...





hmmm sometimes I think, I should be in the music business, I think my good taste in music ;) lends itself well to being able to pick the next big thing (well at least on the independent music scene!) I think this band is screaming for signing- can't believe they haven't been picked up yet!

Opening tune off the movie "The Black Balloon" Good but Intense...I felt drained just watching it- I quite like this song though :)

Guess which Song?

Lyrics: "I made a lot of mistakes, I made a lot of mistakes".

Song, artist?
