This is a classical track that I can dig. Anyone like it? It's basically a 15 minute long piece that doenst really change, [with the exception of key changes and stuff]. i guess Ravel, the composer (?) was suffereing from Alzheimers and that's why it's so repetitive (though many people compare it to modern songs that have recurring sections). A local alternative radio station here played it for about 6 hours continuosly one afternoon, and people were calling in demanding to know what the fuck was going on, that's what got me into the song :). |

is that the "13 minute crachendo (spelling?)"? ie its just the same melodie repeated the whole time.. just getting louder, w/ more and more instruments joining in? just a flute (or some other quiet instrument) starting out.. by the end the whole orchestra realy loud? if it is, i know what ur talking about i like it too but i get the impression that people who are seriously into classical dont like it... its like the pop music of classical, to them anyway |

It's OK - it's pretty well known as a make-out piece. Maybe that's what happened at your radio station. |

Yeah, i know its' not well liked by true classical connisseurs. the radio station actually played it along with an old man talking about pot...in fact it might have been on 4/20 last year.... |

I totally wouldn't know what you were talking about but I happened to watch the classic arts showcase on tv, and saw an absolutely stunning animation to this very tune. The thing was so amazing to me that I wrote down all the info at the end but never did find that animation again... the song was maurice ravel bolero (I read the same thing about having some weird brain malfunction to create a constantly looping track) anyway the animation was life evolving on another planet from the goo inside a discarded coke bottle... if you can find it get it, you'll love it it's amazing. |

In the animation, there was sort of a main character that was possibly an epitome or metaphor for all the evolving life that sprang from the coke syrup. It marched or oozed along, constantly mutating as it went into new bizarre forms, the animation was better than anything I've seen disney do. The theme was also about evolution on earth even though it seems to have supposedly been another planet, since eventually dinosaurish creatures evolved and all were constantly marching to the tune... it was pessimistic against humanity because there was this little monkey dude that evolved and started using fire and building cities and generally fucking shit up for all the other evolved life. Great animation anyway. |

wtf is this "serious" classical listeners don't like ravel's bolero?? it is one of the most popular classical pieces, and that is including so-called "serious" classical listeners - it is a magnificently constructed piece - there is constant subtle movement - the unrelenting crescendo adds to the tension and the excitement of the piece... when the ff kicks in, a thrill plummets down one's spine -- similar to the ff kicking in in grieg's hall of the mountain king, which has a similar structure, tho only a quarter of the length |

if you like Boléro, Holst's the Planets is one of my all time favorite classical selections. i like all 7 of them. seem Pluto had yet to be discovered when he wrote them, and he did no earth. on my Neptune, when put in my crapped out old cdrom, it skips all over the place and sounds of some awesome digital dreamscape. like a 15-20 min. loopy mix version. super rad! |

yes, it is quite pleasant here - altho this winter was particularly nasty - been having a week of sunshine tho, which makes a nice change...i spotted a US platoon the other day, looking after some Arab they were calling Mr Bin Liner or something (i was spying from an icy hillock) - they seemed to be rehearsing something - who knows! |
