More randomness

Today's random word: Shining. From the iTunes search...

"Shining", by Phil Wickham, had a nice sound, but I didn't really like it. As an aside, I am bemused that the last 8 or 10 iTunes searches I did for music came up with a Christian artist in the top three results. Odd coincidence.

"Shining", by Girugamesh, was definitely noteworthy; the band themselves are fairly good. However, it reminded me too much of the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack for me to want to spend money on it.

The album "Shining" by Blackjazz just wasn't my style of music *at all*.

The album "Shining" by Neil Greenhaw is in fact yet another contemporary Christian artist. I rather preferred his sound to Phil Wickham, but the lyrics annoyed me enough I'm going to be forced to pass.

"Shining" by The Misfits (from their wonderful album, "American Psycho") again just wasn't my type of music. Very much a pass.

Last on the front page, "Shining" by MTC, from their album "Buddha Lounge 5", was actually quite good. From listening to the sample, it came across sortof as a mix of Macy Gray (that is, the singer reminded me of her) and Portishead or Massive Attack. Going through more of their songs, the Massive Attack vibe got much stronger, though with a bit more... Livelihood. "Cuba Libre", for example, is a song Massive Attack could never make - I think their brains would melt from the beat. All in all, though, very good. I'll have to look in to them more later.
