| Bleyfusz | Posted: Mar 24, 2008 - 04:50 This is the third version about the great poem of Yeats I get to know. But neither Donovan nor these guys can beat Christy Moore, IMHO. |

I just love this opinion board and how I can search for a commonality between music and usually find it. Yes, there is a certain King Crimson flavor to this, especially the work from Discipline. |

| Exit63 (New Jersey, USA) | Posted: Jul 25, 2006 - 17:27 A pale imitation of Dead Can Dance or Sky Cries Mary. BTW, Morton Subotnick had a very interesting album by this name in 1967. That was not a derivative of anything. Add N To X owe him a debt of gratitude. |
| rgrace (Rio Nido, CA) | Posted: Jul 25, 2006 - 17:20 In a moment of weakness, this somehow has grown on me. Can't beat the literary pedigree either. the lyrics are just beautiful. |

| iMacomania (Bavaria - Germany) | Posted: Mar 25, 2006 - 05:11 I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. Silver Apples, Silver Apples of the Moon When I had laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire aflame, But something rustled on the floor, And some one called me by my name; It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossom in her hair Who called me by my name and ran And faded through the brightening air. Silver Apples, Silver Apples of the Moon Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun. Silver Apples, Silver Apples of the Moon (oversize image deleted by admin) |

| sqqqrly (Newport, RI) | Posted: Mar 01, 2006 - 08:44 iMacomania wrote: Can you explain what you mean?  The Silver Apples of the Moon comes from the poem by William Butler Yeats, "The Song of Wandering Aengus." The title of the song is taken from the closing lines of the poem: and walk among long dappled grass, and pluck till time and times are done the silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun. |

| iMacomania (Bavaria - Germany) | Posted: Jan 04, 2006 - 04:51 Here is an excerpt from her website: Anne Wylie comes from Dublin, the cultural centre and capital city of Ireland. She is well known on the international music scene, as one of Ireland`s finest singers, and enjoys a high profile across Europe where she tours regularly, particularly in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Irish Music Magazine reviewed the first CD "Anne Wylie Live", which she recorded in 1997 with Florian King, Henrik Mumm and Joe McKenna, as follows: "Live is an impressive album. There is no shortage of excellent music here". The CD which followed, "Anne Wylie Band - One and Two" was released in April 2001 and received great reviews in various European magazines. It was CD of the month in "Stereoplay" and Audiofile Highlight in "Stereo". Irish Music Magazine wrote: "Anne is blessed with a beautiful voice and sings in flawless Gaelic. She has an unusually wide vocal range, and her soulful and richly musical voice are a fitting climax to this excellent production". |

Anyone know who Anne Wylie is? Look at this:(click here) I saw her on "Bardentreffen", an annual international music-festival in Nürnberg, Bavaria, Germany. It's freebie and about 3 days; many artists and also listeners are there. They came from all over the country and whole Europe. Since then I am crazy about her music. When I listen to her voice, Henrik's bass line, Florian's irish bouzouki and Helge's percussion, I feel like I'm in an other time and world.  |
