This place is in creation. So, there will have more functionnalities in the future. For the moment, you can see I don't realy tell my opinion about the most well known artists. It needs a lot of work, so I'll do that later. There is a very few number of CD in the list. It take a very long time to put all the informations in the base, so I do it, and there will be more and more albums every week.
Welcome : This page. It gives you the explanations about this place and about the music. I just give my opinion on the artists when I've got at least one CD. So, it's the reason I like a lot of the CD I speek. It's not because I like all I hear. I try to explain what I like in the songs. So that, you can guess if you can like it or not.

So, you'll see the last artists I put in this place.
It's the old european music. I'll put the no european traditionnal music in the world music. It's older than classical music. It's not easy to like the first time we hear it. The instruments like the hurdy-gurdy or the bagpipe don't sound good to the ear the first time in your life you hear it. But, with several listen, we begin to like it (not if the player is bad, of course). It's a music who is often very rich. I mean, there is a lot of notes. It's rarely just a music with verses and chorus, like in the pop music. To begin with this kind of music, it could be a good idea to look for folk music crossed with an other kind of music. An other way is to look for folk music wich used mostly habitual instruments. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the folk music. They are not the three CD I prefer in folk music, but the three CD I know who are the easiest to like.
- En compile (played by machin). It's an old group, the only way to possess a CD of this group is this compilation or a live. It's a mix between french rock and folk music. It's very fun and very happy.
- The shadow of the moon (played by Blackmore's Night). It's an english group. It's pop music crossed with folk music. The singer is a woman with a beautifull voice.
- Volven/Urd (played by Hagalaz'Runedance) She is a german singer. It is ambiant folk. It's a call to the nature.
The classical music is a very rich music. The difficulty is not to hear it, but to like it. One needs to listen it a lot of time to like it. But once one like a classical song, one like it forever. At the beginning, each time one hear this song, one like it much than the precedent time. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the classical music. They are not the three CD I prefer in classical music, but the three CD I know who are the easiest to like.
- The four seasons (composed by Antonio Vivaldi). It's baroque music. It's very rich, with a lot of instruments, but it's very easy to hear. It's very light and jaunty.
- The nineth symphony (composed by Antonin Dvorak). It's better known under the name "symphony from the new world". There is an orchestra, it's powerfull and beautifull.
- The Piano (composed by Michael Nyman). It's the music of the movie "The Piano". It's very quiet.
I don't like the jazz. Or, I should say I never heard anything in jazz I like. It's the reason I won't give you an advice to discover the jazz. But, There is some songs with parts of jazz I like. And, I'm sure there is songs in jazz I like. I just don't know them. So, if you know something easy to discover the jazz, I'm interested.
For me, the french music is not just a music with someone who sing in french. There is a difference between Jean-Jacques Goldman or Johnny Halliday who sing in french on an english-american music. And Georges Brassens or Michel Berger who sing in french on a french music. The first one sing french variety, the second one sing french music. There are not the legal terms, but I don't know anything better to mark the difference. So, there are the terms I'll use. But, I'm not a musician, sometime, it's very easy to know if it's french or not, but I can made mistakes. The french music is often a poor music with just verses and chorus. In a general way, one like at the first listening. In the french music, there is an older part, it's accordion music. I don't like the term accordion music, I prefer the french term "musette", because the accordion is not the only thing in the musette. This part has been modernised with rock influences. It's this part modernised I prefer. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the french music. I din't choose the three CD I prefer, But I try to show three differents parts of the french music. Of Course, there is not only three part in the french music.
- Rue du temps (joué par Les Ogres De Barback). It's accordeon music modernised by rock influences. There's a lot of music instruments. It's a very festive music.
- Il nous emmenait (joué par Castelhemis). It's an old french singer. This compilation is the only way to have old songs of him on a CD.
- Branco Loco. The name of the album is the name of the group. It's a french music of the south of France. The music is very poor, there is nothing interesting in the text. I don't know why I like it, but I like it a lot. It's a very festive music full of happiness
It's the music who begins with the Beatles. I put the french variety and the other internationnal variety here. It's a music who is often very poor, with just verses and chorus. It's the music everyone know. One can hear it on TV, on radio, in the streets, in the shop and everywhere whe go. It's the reason I don't give you an advice for this music, you know it better than I.
It's a very poor music. The groups of rock have generaly a singer, one or two guitar players, a bass player and a drum player. The Hard Rock is just a rock more violent. It's diffucult to do the difference beetwen the Hard Rock and the Rock, because the first Hard Rock bands were less violent than a lot of actuals rock bands. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the rock. I don't reallt like the rock, because it's a music aften too poor. So, there are three of the CD I prefer in rock.
- Du ciment sous les plaines (played by Noir Désir). It's a rock very rich. It's so rich it's not a pure rock.
- Opium fürs Volk (played by Die Toten Hosen). Like Noir Désir, it's a rock very rich. So rich it's not a pure rock.
- Symphony (played by Kiss). Kiss is not a band I like a lot. But, the live with The Symphonic Melbourne Orchestra, is great. The orchestra give a power to the music.
Under this name I put the progressive rock, the neo progressive rock and the progressive metal. This is a very rich music. It's so rich one don't like it at the first listening. It can be fabulous, but it's very often just a technique show. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the prog. They are not the three CD I prefer in prog, but the three CD I know who are the easiest to like. It doesn't mean this CD will be easy to like.
- The flight of the Phoenix (played by Sad Minstrel). It's a music beautiful and very quiet with the instruments of a rock band and a flute. It's not easy to find, Sad Minstrel is an Italian.
- Misplaced Childhood (played by Marillion). It's was a band with a singer who was living what he was singing. It's very quiet and beautifull.
- The window of life (Pendragon). Like the two other albums, it's quiet and beautifull.
It's more a rythmic than a music style. The ska inclueds a lot of music styles. It's a jerky music very with brass instruments. The first ska band known all over the world wath Madness. The goal of the ska is the feast. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the ska.
- El vals del obrero (played by Ska-P). The music played by this band is the the most rich music of all the groups of ska I'd know. This is a very festive music.
- Last Music Warrior (played by Skarface). This french group is better known outside the french borders than in France. It's a ska with a lot of rock influences.
- En concert (played by La Ruda Salska). This band give the best of himself on live.
The metal is often considered like a pure violence without melody. Of course, whe can find CD like that. But the metal is not only that. It's a music who is very rich. There is a lot of styles included in the name metal. A lot of metal band are less violents than the majority of the rock bands. Here are the three CD I'd choose to discover the metal. They are not the three CD I prefer in metal, but the three CD I know who are the easiest to like. They are not difficult to like, they are not violent.
- Legend Part II (played by Saviour Machine). It's a music without influences other than heavy metal. But it's an athmospheric heavy metal. It's very slow and intense. It's a christian's band who based the history on the Apocalypse.
- Gaia (played by Mago De Oz). It's a mixed between heavy metal and folk music. It's a group with instruments of a rock band plus a violin and a flute. It's a music very rich and very festive. The history is based on the conquest of the America.
- Theli (played by Therion). It's heavy metal crossed with classical music. We have the instruments of a rock band with classical instruments and with chorus. The classical part is symphonic. The history is based on the ancients gods.
It's a music with pople who speak or who shout. It's depend of the songs, but they never sing. It could be between poetry and music. I don't like what I'd hear in Rap.
It's an electronic music. It's music with sequencers. I hate sequencers. I don't like this music.
