Church music

I would like to own some 'church music' i.e slow organ
songs that are quite somber (or sombre?)

Anyone know of some?

organ playing?

I know nothing about this kind of music. The closest thing I
can think of is squarepusher - song: our underwater torch.
Apart from that I might as well do a cartwheel and eat a
playstation.

Proper church stuff. A bit too
"up" for the sort Murray is probably looking for. Positive
stuff like "amazing grace" as opposed to real doom and gloom
hymns. I was a choirboy for years, I still reckon my church
has my favourite accoustics.

Certain tracks off of Beck's Mutations album remind me of
church music; namely dead melodies. Ok, that's really the
only one.

cool, we should persuade him to put some of it online!
Music does have a unique sound when played in a Church I
agree, I guess it depends on the layout of the church, but
the ones I have been in vary from making the sound very warm
and comforting to feeling cold and empty.

Mine is almost all stone, high ceiling and gothic arches all
over the shop. Gives a good "cathedral" type quality to the
sound.

Funnily enough, that is the track that i first thought that
i would like to listen to more of the type of organ sounds.
But ia gree with Ceri, it's like the full blown hyms stuff i
like :)

in their tracks.

What you are looking for is almost anything by Messiaen, you
won't believe how amazing some of his pieces are, he taught
Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez their tricks. It's not all
wanky nonsense, some of it's really powerfull.

I'll have to get back to you on that.. all those cd's are
packed away in my new house. try a "messiaen organ" search
in soulseek. If you get the ones where he's playing in the
church that he played in they're amazing!

Talk if you want some edgy church music!

church music is awesome. This one song called "jesus" is
great. The main reason I like aphex's logan witch rock is
the churchish organish melody. gargoyles quest 2 for nes
actually is church musicish in that it has polyphony of
droning notes which make rich chords.

What I want is an album of the exact classical music they
play on ren and stimpy. That stuff is great. Bill Griggs is
the guy listed in the credits for doing the music (aside
from primus doing the main theme).

i enjoy church music. especially the kind that has a sort of
dark-ish undertone to it.. i can't really think of an
example, or a suggestion of some good church music that i am
aware of.
i'd just go to a church somewhere and listen.
