Boy hearing these IN ANALOGUE would be awesome I think!! (Although hearing them 32k REAL is amazing also though)


Music is not really about WORDS,its about the FEELING it creates :)

I have often listened to music from other countries and in languages I don't
understand.... Mostly from my short wave listening days..... Today most
of the Glam metal bands I like, sounds of the late 80's are based in Finland,
Norway, and even some from Japan which I see only singing in Japanese
on NHK World tv, which ironically has several MTV style music shows... Same
for Arirang tv here from S. Korea, which shows a lot of what is known around
the world as K-Pop.... So YES I do like listening to music in other languages.....
As for yours, I'll have to check it out on my old Win-98SE box, I think it has
real player on it.... I haven't used RP in over 10 years.....

Buena Vista Social Club. Awesome tunes :)

From all the Anime I've watched I've come to like some of the music used for the intro/outros.

There is also the random German version of an English hit such as '99 Red Balloons', or the Beatles 'I Want to hold Your Hand' that ain't bad.

99 Red Balloons was originally in German and called "99 Luftballons" , the English version was released later.

I don't care all that much for songs in a language I don't speak (that limits me to English), there are probably a few exceptions that I can't think of right now.

:D

Check out "Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind" on you tube. This classy older German lady does it best..

Indeed! Afro-Cubism is quite good, as well:

I actually heard Afro-Cubism first, one morning on NPR... this led to my "discovery" of BVSC... Wow! great music.

A favorite from BVSC:

Excellent buddy :)

Can you play any RM stuff with WMP?? (I find SOME .RM media will play with WMP (I have version 9 (Not much though)))

I'm fond of pop tunes in German.
Artists such as Ich+Ich, Nena, Christina Stürmer, Glasperlenspiel, and Luxuslärm come to mind

Dont forget DER KOMISAR by Falco and After the fire... :D

SR

Hummmm Well Winamp, Windows media player. don't wanna play it, and I guess
I never used realplayer on my win 98se box..... I guess it was way back
in the win 95 days.....

My gf is japanese, loves to play music, thus I "listen" to a whole lot of japanese language music. Some of its not bad, there was even one band i really enjoyed. But when im alone in my "shop", the garage, youre only going to hear 60s and 70s, american, rock and roll playing in there.

Squirrel boy, you might want to try VLC media player on your newer machine. I've not encountered a non-corrupt file it can't play.

I listen to lots of Japanese music. Yui is my favorite. Then there's quite a bit of Japanese volcaloid music I like. Like hatsune miku. (My avatar) lol. I also like German industrial metal.:)

I like music in English (I'm a Romanian and Romanian is my native language), Italian, Frech, and even in German in Japanese. And Russian military and communist music.

Some of the alternative rock bands are either in a foreign language or sometimes mix foreign and English. Check out Du Hast by Rammstein (a German metal band...the song is a play on words in German) and Loser by Beck (Suy...un perdidor....I'm a loser baby...so why don't you kill me....) :D

For some reason, Rammstein always makes me laugh. :para: I love playing them really loud when I'm in a bad mood.

I enjoy listening to any tunes from around the world but rap crap is the same crap in any language.

I had Mexican neighbors and they play their music most of the time.I enjoy the music part but I dont speak Spanish.I really enjoyed their mellow tunes.They remind me of the old classic country tunes and like Marty Robbins tunes with the guitars.

Yes. I've been looking for a playable copy of "Morgen" by Ivo Robic for a while now.

Kraftwerk: Autobahn.

Lucio Dalla, beautiful Italian, too bad he died of a heart attack a few years back, the morning after a concert he performed the night before.

Yes and they call it opera
 

quoting Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (In the movie Amadeus) "Please let it be in German". Ironically and contrary to how it sounds spoken the German language is one of the most beautiful when sung
Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail (The Abduction From a Seraglio)
Ten minutes of ghastly scales and arpeggios "Aria Martern aller Arten"
The Magic Flute Aria"Queen of the Night" Powerful and intimidating just imagine
Your worst nightmare is if this real life bitch is your land lady, banker or mother in-law so wealthy and powerful, She despises you and is ready to step on you like a little bug.

My greatest passion is the works of Wagner and yes it comes in German
Although I am partial to German I do enjoy Italian the side opera as it goes so
well with humor and scandal. Of course one of the finest and probably
most popular works would be Carmen sung in French.

Too much for a ADD eccentric TV collecting nut to describe in a few paragraphs to do it any justice.

Here are sum pieces from Wagner's Ring

I am intrigued by the blending of musical styles from eastern and western cultures. In this clip, Anoushka Shankar (Sitar) and Joshua Bell (Violin) continue a tradition which was pioneered by her father (Ravi Shankar) and Yehudi Menuhin over 50 years ago.

That would be Marlene Dietrich. That's the German version of Pete Seeger's "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?", from 1961.

Of course how could we forget the classic song from the '70's......Lady Marmalade...with a good part of the song in French.

If I'm really stressed out (which is almost every day now), I'll fire up a Zenith or ten and play Enya through my SSTran. Very soothing for when you're mad at the world. A few of her songs are in Gaelic/Latin, but most are English.

Lots of great music from that Gweedore region, but Enya is likely the most famous. Many got their start at Leos tavern.

Lou Monte made a lot of novelty songs from traitional Italian songs in half English and half Italian.
Al Martino's songs in Italian are great too.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk, fine German driving music for a 1974 Capri:music:.

If any AM stations decide to try out a music format (cause their ESPN deal is being negotiated:sigh:) during the holidays, Feliz Navidad is played.

Hearing only certain kinds of Latin music especially with horns, It takes me back to age 5 riding in the 64 Chevy in south Texas in the 1960's

I was in an antique store a couple of weeks ago, and they were playing a version of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" latin style, in Spanish.......

Many of the 78 RPM records I find in the thrift stores are opera and in Italian

I was based in Germany in the late 70's/early 80's & loved German music. When I left the army & moved back to England I'd listen to AM & long wave German stations via skywave at night just for nostalgia. I listen to German oldie stations online now. Also like Spanish & Italian music...

French female vocalists. And Linda Ronstadt in Spanish.

Ahhh very nice!!!
