Vibrato… ? This is being sung with vibrato? I wasn’t under the impression that it was used that far back.

That’s a great find see-dubya… if there is one thing that gets my mind off of work, it’s archeology. One of the few sites I check weekly is Graham Hancock dot com. Some of his books aren’t too bad. Some are way off. His site (news page) is just a compilation of the latest in the archeology world…

Man, some of y’all are some philistines! Okay, now that that’s out of the way, I liked the “Ode to Joey’s Pizza” bit…

Lovely music, I’d love to get a translation of that. Barring that, I think I’ll just listen to it again. Ah, yes, beautiful, beautiful… Shows what happens when real scholars go to work as opposed to those who just have an ax to grind!

It’s nice, but my favorite female vocals are the Bulgarian womens’ choir.

Excellent story. Nice stuff. Arcane Scottish and Irish music has always captivated me with its gravitas.

Raise the beat a bit… and I bet its some type of either Scotish rebel music… or some more ancient sects…

No way is that a rebel song, its far too serene. It’s probably a religious hymn.

The vocals boiled this glass of water in under 20 seconds.

Swirling Eddies deciphered this song off a bag of cheetos in the Camarillo church day care.

It has about 14 tons of art school and renfaire baggage lumped on top of it, but it’s interesting.

Man, that lead sure likes showing off her voice!

But the soundstage was too small, and the echoes were clumsy – like they recorded it in a classroom, chairs and all.

In fact, Romeo, they deciphered the original words as well:

“You may take our lives…but you will never take…OUR FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!”
