YouTube video by Alpha Classics DEBUSSY // 'Syrinx, L. 129' by Mathilde Calderini

Music by Numbers Day 129

"Syrinx, L. 129" - Claude Debussy

Genre: Classical Solo Flute

No option but to break my rule about using classical music opus numbers for 129. This feels acceptable, though, as 129 applies only to this 3 minute self contained track.

That's awesome! 😆

"Strange Angels" is my fave - love the stripped down sound...

It's one of those songs I really like hearing covers of, too...

The first album I ever had on cassette!

It still blows me away that this album came out in 77 - so far ahead of its time!

Love her solo stuff

Gorgeous track

An absolute tune

I heard it for the first time around 2010 and couldn't believe how fresh it sounded!

It's a fantastic album, yeah!

Day 6: Volkor X - "This Means War"

2016 was a good year for wildly OTT synthwave!

Music by Numbers Day 128

"128 Trek" - Zinc

Genre: Drum & Bass

There is a tasty post-metal epic from Rosetta that would also work for 128, but c'mon - drum & bass with lots of sampled sound effects from Star Trek TOS! 🖖

I quite like their new wave-sounding stuff, yeah!

My fave track on the album, I think - so epic!

An all-timer!

I appreciate the breakdown of the track!

Day 5: Daniel Romano - "Valerie Leon"

This is a fantastic song - sounds like it could have been released any time from, what, the fifties onwards?

YouTube video by Triple Crown Records Caspian - "127 North" (Audio Video)

Music by Numbers Day 127

"127 North" - Caspian

Genre: Cinematic Post-Rock

Some classic old-school quiet/LOUD/quiet swell-to-a-crescendo type post-rock...

Oh yeah, this woulda been an inscrutable tape artifact - how would you ever be able to find out who the artist is before the internet!?

Would love to see them live!

Super solid first 4 entries on the list - looking forwards to seeing what else gets included!

It is SUPER creepy, yeah!

(Which is a big part of why I like it, heh)

Oh awesome - I bet that was a good one.

And the live performance Lauren saw sounds sweeeet!

It's a testament to Willie's character that people felt comfortable doing that, 'cause he could martial arts their ass!

In September I did '95, the year I was 15 & first started going to gigs.

This month, I'm doing 2016, because it's a year that no-one else has picked.

You can pick whatever year you like, but if you're the sort of person that wants to pick a year no one else picked, I made this chart!

BANGER!

I only encountered this track fairly recently, thanks to bluesky - it's a tune!

Banger!
