Cagey's listening to

Bach - Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major BWV1007 - Mov. 1-3/6

Stuck in my head all day, and thank high Heaven for the internet that I could find it (and also for Heaven's gifts).




Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings

I believe this was the title music for 'The Endurance', one of my favorite documentaries. Update: I learned that this piece is also associated with the 1986 Academy Award (Best Picture) winning 'Platoon'. (The movie my dad was willing to bend the 'R' rating rule for in order for me to see for some reason... but we never made it to the theater.)



Copland's Fanfare For The Common Man (tribute by Asia)



A mega-group playing under the pseudonym "Passengers", with Luciano Pavarotti, from an enigmatic album first heard during my college radio station days...



David Sylvian & Sakamoto Ryuichi, "Forbidden Colours"



David Sylvian & Sakamoto Ryuichi, "Heartbeat/Tainai Kaiki II"

It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
Fed on the Bible, grown from trees
It opened the mind and the heart was free
A home in the silence, safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found
