Advantages: A wonderful symphony Disadvantages: None
I must admit that I am a fan of ambient music. By this I mean music that employs the ambient sounds of nature, melding and mixing them with newly-composed pieces of music. This type of music has been around for many, many years. An early example which you might have heard is the Nightingale recorded by the BBC in 1920 when it sang along to the cello playing of Beatrice Harrison. It really is a delightful piece, still re-broadcast every-so-often by the BBC to this day.
The CD Uninhabited, Ambient Sounds of Nature might not be in the same class as that tiny little Nightingale, but it is a really suburb CD. The tracks are Tempestuous, Turblent, Rolling booms, Passionate, Uninhabited (the title track) and Random Flashes. The performance is by Levantis.
Each piece uses modern music combined with natural sounds (the voices of humans ...
Advantages: Ground breaking endlessly fascinating music for gazing out of windows to Disadvantages: Not one for fans of heavy metal or people who only like songs with words etc.
Peverse genius, expert knob twiddler and all round music visionary Richard James has released many classic tunes of multiple styles over the years, yet this, remains among his best ever.
Unlike Selected Ambient Works one, there are hardly any beats on this - and instead most of the tracks are a series of interesting trips through the echo chamber with some beautiful drones and tones to accompany you.
Yet despite the minimalist nature of the sounds here, the production means that you rarely get bored of these sounds. Also because they are so distinctive, they haven't dated at all really. Evocative of Brian Eno's work on Ambient 4 and also Music for Films, simple chord progressions build a series of thumbnail sketches.
The moods conjured range from euphoric and calming through to eerie, nocturnal and in one case downright ...
Advantages: Situation. Food. Ambiance. Service. Value. Disadvantages: Having to check out!
WHY DID WE BOOK THE RINGHOTEL FRIEDERIKENHOF?
We did not actually, in a sense, choose to book this hotel. It just happened to be the venue for a friend's wedding reception. He was marrying a girl from Lubeck in the north of Germany. The invitation arrived at Easter time for the wedding on 5th October. We booked our three night stay immediately upon our receipt, and acceptance, of the invitation, having discovered that it was not exorbitantly expensive, had an en-suite room available for the three nights that we wanted to be there and actually looked rather pleasant on the website.
Not knowing Lubek, or indeed northern Germany at all, we did not even make the effort to look at other hotels in the area. The fact that the reception was being held at the Friederikenhof on the Friday meant that if we were staying there I did not need to ...
