Not bad, Rhu.
I'm more partial to From the Inside, however.

Rush - everything... I always keep at least 2 Rush CDs in my Jeep, and rotate them weekly/monthly. I've been a Rush-head for over 30 years. As a side-note, since there seem to be quite a few Rush fans here... if you haven't seen Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage... the new documentary... you must!

I'll have to put it on my Christmas list. Speaking of awesome documentaries, have you seen Flight 666?

Yes... wonderful... I just watched it a couple of weeks ago. Maiden and Rush are probably my overall favorite bands of all time, even though my tastes in music run pretty broad (from classical, classic rock, heavy metal (and most of its sub-genres), prog rock, alternative, space rock, etc).

Dude, that is so weird! I just threw that movie in again last night. Never gets old to me. My brother has the soundtrack, and I listened to it enough to drive my wife insane. But I drove her even more insane as I sang "Man of Constant Sorrow" around the house. heh heh.

Just plugged in the Solti/Chicago Symphony version of that, myself.

Before that, my last few tracks were:

Sinatra - New York, New York
Weezer - Pardon Me
Tudors, Season 2 OST - A King Reborn
Green Day - St. Jimmy

I keep a pretty eclectic mix on my Zen. I have playlists if I'm looking for a specific 'feel', like OST/Ambient Music for Game or All Punk.

Is it the older Solti recording or the one he did in the late 80s with Jessye Norman?

Anymore, my preferences for that one are:
1. Klemperer/Philharmonia
2/3. Furtwangler/Bayreuth
3/2. Toscanini/NBC
4. Ormandy/Philadelphia

I just love the feeling that Klemperer gets out of the orchestra, and his soloists are phenomenal (Hans Hotter in the baritone/bass part especially). Depending on how I'm feeling, there are aspects of both the Furtwangler and Toscanini recordings I love. Furtwangler was a live recording from '51, from the post-war reopening of the Bayreuth Festival following denazification. The Toscanini just drips with energy, and the interplay between Eileen Farrell (soprano) and Jan Peerce (tenor) is amazing. The Ormandy is, I think, the best "entry-level" ninth I've heard.

I love the playing on the Solti recording from the late 80s/early 90s (whenever it came out). As a brass guy, the CSO brass section is second to none. Unfortunately, though, except for the 3rd movement, it's the only Solti recording I can think of where the tempi are way too slow across the board.

A CD given to me by a friend. He was once a travelling musician, playing a digiredoo in an Irish folk-music group. Weird, I know, but it works!

I don't think the CD is for sale anywhere since the band broke up, but you can hear a few of the tunes on their MySpace site: http://www.myspace.com/thebringers

Listening to, and watching, The Levellers play at the Reading Hexagon during their "Chaos Theory" tour. I caught up with them at Brum for that one; a damn good tour.

Cheers, Mum.

It's a late 80's/early 90's London Complete Beethoven Symphonies CD set with the last three movements comprising the last disc. (Seems like I may have read somewhere that was recorded in the 70's. I dunno.) The Solti/CSO/Beethoven set was my first introduction to classical music, so I tend to hold it in pretty high regard, despite its flaws. I've always been a pretty big fan of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra because of its brass, and because of the recording quality they seem to have in many of their studio recordings.... one of my favorite recordings of Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony, in fact, is Bernstein conducting the CSO.
