My Fave Xmas Songs #2

This is my second fave Xmas song -

Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

Faversham to Ashford Visits

Well,all three visits and their subsequent reports are now done I picked up some pipe tobacco in Faversham and then waited for my connecting bus to Ashford - the ill number 666 bus!

It was a very mild day - approaching 15 degrees C by midday - and that are near the library is such a sun trap.hence i took two selfies.





Once i did my other supermarket visit in Ashford i headed off to the cinema complex to watch the SciFi film "Arrival". I really enjoyed it,more brainier than some SCiFi fare on the big screen.

Linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. Hoping to unravel the mystery, she takes a chance that could threaten her life and quite possibly all of mankind.

Here is a trailer for it -

Jóhann Jóhannsson

A new discovery for me - but his music blows me away.


Jóhann Jóhannsson - Flight From The City

Jóhann Jóhannsson presents “Flight from the City” from his highly anticipated new studio album – the first in 6 years!
Orphée traces a path from darkness into light, inspired by the Orpheus myth. A story about death and rebirth, the elusive nature of creation and art and the ephemeral nature of memory. It's an album about change, love and art – a reflection of our relationships, as is the film Flight from the City directed and produced by Clare Langan.

Jóhann Jóhannsson - Heptapod B [From "Arrival" Soundtrack}

Arrival (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Jóhann Jóhannsson is the Icelandic composer’s third original film score for director Denis Villeneuve and his second release on the Yellow Label. Jóhannsson combined both classical and avant-garde elements in his compositions, augmenting his already unique approach of combining orchestral writing with digital sound processing.

Jóhann Jóhannsson is an Iceland-born musician, composer and producer. Jóhann's stately, slow-building and hauntingly melodic music, which frequently combines electronics with classical orchestrations, has been quietly bewitching listeners since he released his first solo record Englabörn in 2002 on the well respected British label Touch. The record was re-released in 2007 by 4AD, by which time its reputation had grown as an influential recording in the burgeoning field that has been variously called post-classical or neo-classical.
