Wow, I've never heard Montoya before and this interpretation is amazing ...I'm into jazz lately so I'm saving it to my playlist! Thank you!

Adrian enescu - released 1984 - one of the pioneers of the electro sybth and electronic music .
also : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f91Rrtdk1DE . made as soundtrack for a movie .
lot of his music also reworked themes from the romanian folklore music into electronic music.

That is what I was hoping for opening this thread - discovering things I've never heard before ...and this "Autostrada" piece is truly a gem! Thanks!

Love this post too! I've been listening to this song again lately. Javanese folk song called Rukun Agawe Santoso. Not sure what esoteric music is, but I hope you enjoy it.

Great add-ons! If it weren't for you, I probably would never have heard them, so thanks a lot!

It’s a mixture of electronic and ethno :)

Interesting mixture indeed! Thank you!

Well, I'll post a real one later :)

I like this thread too! Short story:

I associate my temporary successful (but pretty tiring) period with music here, on Logotournament. 8-10 years ago I could win every third (!) contest I entered.

Not a secret, but I worked by spending a lot of time on reading the brief, getting to know the project, the industry and the CH. I tried to find online CH's style, hobbies and favorite music. By the way, this still works today, I confess that if you spend more time getting to know the project, you can conscientiously and successfully close the given project.

So, when I was working on a particular contest, I was listening to the "appropriate" music continuously – even for days. I remember one specific contest very well: I won the Puerto Rico Basketball logo contest, and to the end I was freakin' sick of reggaeton music O_O

Actually that logo was pretty crappy, but the CH liked it. Well, he also loved reggaeton...

I didn't expect to hear Haddaway :) but it brings great vibe for the beginning of the day!
Interesting approach for designing process ...it's almost like actors immersing for the role they're acting.
Thanks for sharing Corvin!

(regarding your country I just finished Krasznahorkai book yesterday ...but in terms of music only Omega pops out of my head so it would be great if you share something :)

can't miss the mention of one of the most beloved rock bands in Romania, although banned for a few years...like 15 or so ...
released in 1972 / Phoenix : LP : Those that gave us name (rough translation) - Negru Voda ( he was a small ante-Romanian regional prince ) : enjoy :) (genre : to be debated, but ethno rock)

Also : anyone fan of Xena the warrior princess?
soundtrack is a Bulgarian choir ...if I'm not wrong "voices of mistery" (?) with LoDuca ( a brother of the show producer)
I'll post here 2 which I like :

the band, except one member, fled the country in the 70s and the communist regime banned them . so for a lot of years their music was very hard, if not impossible to find. it was a time of vinyl, so...those albums were something like something could get you in jail :)

Thanks for the background story. I was going to ask why they was banned but suspected it was because of regime.

You link with Xena reminded me of very popular soundrack in my country with romanian lyrics:

haha. reminds me of things i use to listen when i was reading Roadside Picnic . oh, and kraftwerk : the man machine

:) ...btw, I'm not sf books fan but would you still recommend Roadside Picnic to me... I mean is it good as a literature?

it's actually a damn good book . even sf, but the action itself is good...

same vein as ...solaris :) stanislaw lem ?

Ok, I've read few Lem's books ...so I'm adding it to my reading list. Thanks!:)

@Corvin : I only listen religious music when working .
you know... Lamb of God, Arch enemy...

I'm sure we all know this song, don't forget to check out the popular video, you may find your favorite song. :)
