@ShikamaruRocks:

YADA!!

*hides*

@TwistedCyberChick:

Sounds good to me ^^

Heh, I guess that list of band reccommendations I gave you to listen to on Progulus is enough ^^

@TimeChaser:

hehehe. The occasional tip is good enough. ^^ I guess I can get a bit carried away. (a friend is over remodelling one of our showers, so my attention is divided - forgive my poor Shakespearean acting)

@TwistedCyberChick:

O_O Wow...

Well, short of giving you those links and directing you to Progulus, the only other things I can think of are sending you AMV links and actually emailing music files to you, or sending them over something like MSN (if you use that).

@TimeChaser:

O experienced one! *bows* Impart your wisdom to this loyal servant.

@TwistedCyberChick:

Because I know music ^^

*is not boastful and egotistical at all*

@TimeChaser:

That's some fancy fingerwork. How is it everything you suggest I enjoy...? ^^

@TwistedCyberChick:

You're welcome ^^ Anytime.

I've spent a good deal of time this last year looking for more instrumental music too.

Here's another you might like:

@TimeChaser:

First off, cello solos are godsends. And also, Master Passion Greed instrumental = WOW.

Deepest thanks to both of you. How does that line go? "I once was blind but now I see"...?

@Allamorph:

I bought the regular edition and it was quite pricey for some reason, then I was pissed to go back to the store later and see they had the special edition FOR LESS!!

I have everything from Wishmaster up to Dark Passion Play. And Kamleot FTW!

@TimeChaser:

the new Nightwish CD also comes in a special edition with a seocnd CD of nothing but instrumental versions of the songs

Oh Lord, I KNOW!!! *geeks* I need both versions. Gah! (I need more, period. I only have Once and Oceanborn. Dark Passion Play is high on my list.)

And their Phantom of the Opera cover is amazing.

Further recommendations: Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Kamelot.

I'm going to jump in and say that the new Nightwish CD also comes in a special edition with a seocnd CD of nothing but instrumental versions of the songs ^^ If you're into downloading music, you could go find that.

Hm, I need to hook you on to some more good instrumental music, besides Animations.

@Allamorph:

Listening...enjoying... You might just make a convert of me yet. ^^

No, seriously. Multi-meter and everything. 6(/4)-6-5-6 to 4-4-3-4, and 12/8, and a center section in 3, 4, 5, and 6.

I about cried with joy the first time I heard it.

@TwistedCyberChick:

All this immediate advice makes me smile. ^^

I'm bored and I'm lurking. What do you expect? =P

If you like orchestral stuff, then find a recording of Nightwish's Ghost Love Score. Ten minutes of fully orchestrated metal opera bliss.

*goes to listen himself*

@Allamorph:

I wish more could float my boat. Poor little me. My tastes have yet to widen out far enough...

Would you believe me if I said I'd avoided all music with lyrics until three years ago? I swore up and down that words ruined everything. Wow. I was uber-weak then.

@TimeChaser:

Hehehe. When the music's too heavy, all it does is make me laugh. Though, that's a good side-effect, we all know that when you're that upset, you don't actually want to feel better right away, or at least I don't. I need a little while to stew.

All this immediate advice makes me smile. ^^

@TwistedCyberChick:

That is .... odd.

Personally, I don't have a preference, as long as they're good. Tarja's got a good voice on most of her stuff (she does the creepiest succubus you've ever heard on White Night Fantasy), and the new-chick-who's-name-I-can't-remember is really strong.

But whatever floats your boat.

Liten to Alla, he speaks truth! ^^

Whenever I'm pissed off, I go straight into the heavy stuff, like In Flames or Mercenary. I think it's better to get the anger out rather than let it slowly simmer ^^

And sorry you feel that way today o_O

@Allamorph:

Sorry, call me weak, but for the most part, I can't stand female vocalists. I'm not exactly sure why, but, it's true. Thanks for trying. ^^

Woman, you need some Nightwish.

Like, bad. That list hurts.
