[Disapproving grumbling ”The swine…”] The Funeral March for Diarmid is one of great breath, bearing many slight Wagnerian undertones mixed with a solemn feeling of twilight that at times reminds me of Siegfried’s Funeral March. It is a very beautiful composition, that also won the admiration of the playwriters as well. Elgar himself described it as ”big and weird”, though I’m not too sure that weird is a proper term for this most magnificent piece. The gradual piling...more |

Products similar to Elgar - Marches - New Zealand ...
Cheap set, on the whole good performances, consistency of sound 
Performances not the best around, sound quality a little too reverberant A most powerful and unique work in the annals of music Will not appeal to the cutesy-cutesy people The Requiem to end all Requiems, choral music of sublime richness In unsensitive hands can become tedious, staging problems limit good recordings A new way to hear Beethoven (or rather old) Surpassed by some later period cyclesCollateral Defect - Graveworm
Range of styles for the modern mainstream metal fan. None are executed particularly well.
Legacy Of Kings - HammerFall
More of the same, if you enjoyed it. More of the same, if you didn't.
Morphosis - Hate
Interesting mix of melody and heaviness without going down the usual route. Feels stifled.
Fury & Flames - Hate Eternal
Break neck head slamming speed Repetitiveness, too intense at times, needs more variety
I Monarch: Limited Edition - Hate Eternal
Impressive performances. Repetitive and tedious.
Apocalyptic Raids - Hellhammer
Good atmosphere, interesting to hear where it all started. Songs are dull and overly repetitive.
Opus Magnum - Hollenthon
Consistent and excellent use of symphony with heavy metal. Less ambitious than earlier albums.
Penetralia - Hypocrisy
Original, old-school death metal. Mostly sounds similar to other death metal of the time.
Urban Legend: Chopped & Screwed - T.I.
Decent Tunes Little of from his best.
