This one’s been up for more than one month. Time to change the playlist again.I’m in a bit of a nostalgic mood these days, as some of the songs may betray it.

• Apocalyptica — Path: A Finnish band who heavily uses cellos as well as electric instruments in their performances. The end result is really interesting.
• Tesla — Heaven Nine Eleven: Still around and kicking. This is from their Into The New album.
• Zager and Evans — In The Year 2525: This also doesn’t make us feel younger, does it?
• Within Temptation — It’s The Fear: From The Silent Force again.
• Iron Maiden — Blood brothers: Ah, iron Maiden. This band always brings me back to when I was 13.
• Joan Baez — Diamonds and Rust: Back in time again. I also have a more recent version by Blackmore’s Night, but I keep on thinking that this one is better.
• Clint Mansell — Lux Aeterna: From the Requiem for a Dream OST. I’ll recommend this movie any time, by the way: not only the soundtrack is good in it.
• Sarah Brightman — Eden: Beautiful soprano voice and beautiful male choir on this one. Should one ask for more?
• In Nomine — Mitternacht: Enough nostalgia… here comes something different.
• Add N To X — Take me To Your Leader: In spite of the saturated sound, I find this song oddly bouncy and even cheerful, in a way.
• Bella Morte — First Light: This one holds a special meaning to me, I admit.
• In The Nursery — GL (Groundloop): Let’s see if this one will be stuck playing in your heads the way it was in mine…
• Therion — Lemuria: From the Lemuria/Sirius B album.
• Mortal Love — I Want To Die: Sad title and theme, but quite fascinating lyrics and melody.
