    What about the 1880s?

    Been listening to two (well three actually) CDs given to me as a gift from Steve (Pigmy Pony) of this parish. The first:

    David Bowie – 'Nothing Has Changed'



    Label: Parlophone – 825646205745, Parlophone – DB64142
    Format: 2 x CD, Compilation, Remastered
    Country: Europe
    Released: Nov 14, 2014
    Genre: Electronic, Rock, Pop
    Style: Experimental, Alternative Rock

    This is an excellent compilation of the sadly late and great David Bowie's work. In fact it is all the Bowie I could ever want.


    And the second:

    Lou Reed – 'Berlin'



    Label: RCA – ND84388
    Format: CD, Album, Reissue
    Country: UK & Europe
    Released: Jun 1986
    Genre: Rock
    Style: Art Rock

    Starts off with a sort of Kurt Weil-esqe homage: 'Berlin', then reverts to the Lou reed I know and love. This album is darker than some of his others, and I'm still coming to terms with it. But that will be interesting and enjoyable task.

    So once again thank you Steve for your generous gifts.

    I like this from Brahms, from the 1860s though. String sextet no.1, first heard it from the Louis Malle film 'Les Amants', a bourgeois affair which would bore me nowadays. But from the actual 1880s, Eric Satie - Gynopodies, featured to great effect in Louis Malle's 'Le Feu follet', an utter classic.
