What are you listening?

[Chrischa]

Lately, I've been listening to Sting's new Christmas album a lot. I'd actually call it "a winter album", since although most of the songs do have a connection to Christmas, it's not your usual boring carols&classics stuff, and it has a very winter-y and northern feeling. My favourite songs are "Soul Cake", "Cold Song" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man". The album is called "If On A Winter's Night..."

Stings' 'Nothing Like The Sun' was the very first album I ever bought for myself, when I was 13. Followed closely by Phil Collins' 'Both Sides'.

Right now I'm into progressive and melodic rock - Genesis and Marillion mainly but there's some very good new bands out there like Gazpacho, Ayreon and Pure Reason Revolution.

Gazpacho is a very good Norwegian band, they create soundscapes that are really beautiful. If you're curious you can check them out on http://www.gazpachoworld.com/music/
