February 19th, 2012 | 
Author: Oula je suis a la bourre moi… C’est ca d’avoir une vie sociale, y parrait :p
Bon, bon bon alors, vla un theme qui est assez ouvert quand meme… Voila comment je le comprend: Il s’agit de poster un album qui a declencher quelque chose, que ca soit chez vous, ou la création d’un mouvement…
Je vais pas la faire grandiloquant et poster la deuxieme possibilté, car apres tout c’est variable d’un avis a l’autre (de toute facon dans ce cas la, j’aurais bien eu du mal a choisir quelque chose de valable :p)… Je vais la jouer perso et vous presenter plutot le premier album que j’ai achetter avec mes sous sous en format cd (pasque celui la surtout je m’en souvient, j’en avais deja achetter d’autres, que ca soit en k7 ou en vynil, mais la, je suis incapable de dire ce qu’ils etaient, mis a part qu’on y trouvait du madonna, du Propaganda, ou meme du Jean Michel Jarre…)
Non le tout premier cd que j’ai achetter, et qui a déclencher le début de ma collection de cd (a ce jour, je dois etre aux environs de 1200 cds, quand meme :p) c’est un album d’un groupe allemand qui sévissait a époque sur MTV, car c’est la que j’en ai decouvert le clip et qui a motivé cet achat. Il s’agit de Mysterious art – Omen – The Story.
On y retrouve déja pas mal de composantes qui ont guidé mes choix musicaux tout le long du reste de ma collectivite aigue. Chants féminins, melanges de genre (apres tout je n’ai jamais sut vraiment ou classé ca, il y a des elements de gothismes, d’electro, de rock, de metal, de dance…). Beaucoups de ces genres musicaux sont restés dans mes gouts (sauf peut etre la dance, que j’ecoute de moins en moins, surement dut a la pauvreté de la production actuelle…)
Il y avait aussi les premiers premisses de mon violon dingue musical c’est a dire la musique dite enigmatique (cad qui découle du new age type enigma, era, deep forest et consort). On peut dire que ca a declenché chez moi une passion pour ce type de musique…
J’espere qu’il vous plaira, mais je concoit bien que c’est selon les gouts de chacun :p

Alkaemy–The Merlin Mystery
This CD is a truly magical experience. From the opening swirl of wind, strings and pipes and incantantions of Merlin’s Wizardry, you KNOW this is special.
The style is a wonderful fusion of the Celtic new age and classical, so popular with the Titanic soundtrack. However, this record has very much its own sound, somewhere between Enya, Enigma and Elgar, but with subtle looping rhythms and soaring, emotion-packed vocals. Later on, the music is not afraid to build to a real big noise – particularly on "Uther" and "The Cave". But the strength is really in the subtle, quieter passages. Le Morte d’Arthur and Nimue’s Lament are haunting tales of lost loves, of angels and mermaids. The vocals recall Adiemus at their finest – but that isn’t surprising when you see that Miriam Stockley, the voice of Adiemus, is part of the Alkaemy experience!
The CD is linked to a fiendishly difficult puzzle book (I’ve spent hours listening to the music but getting nowhere with the challenge of "the Merlin Mystery"!). It loosely acts as a "soundtrack", but it is a superb stand-alone record as well. It has a real freshness every time you play it. A joy. A real joy.

Ah Nee Mah–Discography
Ah Nee Mah is a side project of prolific producers David and Diane Arkenstone, who explore the sounds of the Native Southwest within the context of tribal atmospheres. Their first few albums under the moniker proved to be pleasant, earthy affairs, conjuring up visions of canyons and dusty plateaus; ANCIENT VISIONS continues down that same road. The Arkenstones’ mutual flair for semi-dramatic, colorful melodies is evident on each of the album’s nine tracks, often featuring Native flute in the forefront while light rhythm, guitar, symphonic synths and natural sound effects (wind, animal sounds) dance in the backdrop.

Afro Celt Sound System – Discography
The Afro Celt Sound System is a musical group which fuses modern dance rhythms (trip-hop, techno, etc.) with Celtic and African influences. It was formed by Grammy-nominated producer-guitarist Simon Emmerson, and is considered to be somewhat of a world music supergroup, often having a wide range of guest artists on their albums.
Their albums have been released through Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records, and they are also reportedly the best-selling band on the label, only exceeded in sales by Gabriel himself, and their striking live performances have often become the highlights of the WOMAD concert festivals. They signed a contract with Real World obliged to release five albums, of which the 2005 release Anatomic is the last; at this writing it is unclear what path the band will take in the future.
In 2003 they changed their name to the simpler Afrocelts; however, two of their latest albums, Pod, a compilation of new mixes of songs from the first four albums, and their fifth studio album Anatomic uses the long and familiar form. This decision is apparently affected by the fact that they seem much more well-known as Afro Celt Sound System around the world.

Discography: Adiemus
http://www.lastfm.fr/music/Adiemus?ac=Adiemus
Adiemus consists of the Welsh composer Karl Jenkins and his Finnish “Adiemus Singers”.
The session singer Miriam Stockley performed the vocal parts on the first four albums. Additional vocals were provided by Mary Carewe on all but Dances of Time, which saw the introduction of the Finnish Adiemus Singers (who would later reappear on Vocalise). Extra vocals and the chorus effects were created by overdubbing multitracked recordings of the singers (in some cases up to forty times) and varying the speed of the tape. Stockley was described by Jenkins as central to the Adiemus project due to her range and intonation, however for reasons that remain unclear she was not re-engaged for Vocalise.
The Songs of Sanctuary orchestra consisted of a string section augmented by various ethnic percussion instruments, with occasional further additions such as bells, a recorder and a quena. Mike Ratledge, with whom Jenkins had played in Soft Machine, contributed to the first album as well. Jenkins added brass and woodwind for Cantata Mundi, and continued to add more diverse instruments such as acoustic guitar on later albums. From Songs of Sanctuary to Dances of Time, the London Philharmonic Orchestra was used; Jenkins later formed his own Adiemus Orchestra to perform on The Eternal Knot recordings, returning to the LPO for Vocalise.
