It's OK I like any song which tends to modulate through a series of keys, this song is OK, but it tends to be quite repetitive

it's good to try... but the lame keyboard and dopey drums make it hopeless.

Why do I like this song so much? Not only is the vocal fantastic (if you're old enough to appreciate opera) but the hypnotic xylophone riff blended flawlwssly with the strings, electronhic rythm and voice. It's definately TRANCEndental.




Count me among those who think this is ethereal....

Surely you must be right, but I can't think of one at the moment.

Excellent track in any case.

I really find such comments ridiculous. Do you think Bill can produce completely different sets 24/7/365? He has to sleep. Complaining about arguably the best streaming radio on the internet with a setlist 50X that of the typical clear channel station is ludicrous. You probably don't donate either...

Yeah, buzz, when are you and Jrzy gonna start giving back to RP? Huh?

Put me down among the heathens who hate this set.

Good intellectual groove goin on this a.m.

nice mix is stimulating the creative side, & since I'm designing layouts for a magazine, is quite excellent.

Nice set Bill.

Oh, I don't know. Kinda cool idea. Purcell rocks on his own, as well. Maybe someone who hadn't heard of Purcell will look him up now!

lovin' this rendition. we still have the haunting voice of dido with the definitive modern beat. loneliness and modernity go hand in hand.

here's to the sweet pain of lost love...

In first year of music school my history prof referred to Dido's Lament as "When I am Laid". So I have dirty thoughts whenever I hear the tune, despite knowing its real meaning.

I couldn't agree with you more; There seems to be a terrible contemporary trend to "sample" (steal) music from others more gifted and accomplished, and then degrade it with electronic/computer effects. Dido's lament is infinitely better when performed as Purcell intended.
