OH LORDY HOW I LOVE THIS ! ! !

and yes, I had to scream, I had my pathetic little speakers maxed.   My only regret is that it ends too soon.

Bill, I have the high definition vinyl from the 70's, but no turntable.  If I send you the vinyl can you get it converted to digital?  It hasn't been out of the sleeve in probably 25 years or more, but it should be in excellent condition.

You'd have to be in or near a cathedral for that to happen.

In the absence of God or the belief in God, this will act as a surrogate for God nicely!

I noticed the comments don't go back to the year 1722.  This is pretty good, I wonder why it took so long to play it.

It would be even greater in a massive cathedral with an enormous f*ck-off organ with pipes reaching to the ceiling. Organ music in that setting really is a whole body experience, and the bass notes make your stomach tremble.

Ahh, back when video game music was good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjYf94WPV80
 
First thing I thought of!  One quarter and I could play that game for 2 hours....not sure I should have wasted as much time on the game as I did, but it was a great way to spend a rainy day.

At the risk of sounding like some sort of Neanderthal, how about we stick to the rock and roll?

I will admit it does make a nice segue into Chest Fever.
 
I must've missed that detail in the RP rule-book about ONLY play rock and roll.  RP is not your normal day-to-day radio station. It is a smorgasbord of music. Some of the songs don't appeal to certain palates, but there are a whole lot more selections from which to sample. Close your eyes, open your minds and absorb what works. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. This is YOUR Paradise.  Live in it, take what you love, shrug off what doesn't sound good, and just bask in the glow of this bounty of music.

Me?  I love this place so much I'm about to buy stock in it.

Damn straight.  It's totally improper for a Friday, which is why it works so well!  A lovely, slightly scary bit of classical perfection injected between two more modern gems. Variety is the spice of life, eh? {#Yes}
