The most difficult post for me to write so far.

I greet you readers!

Today I want to show you something that amazes me every single time I listen to it.

The song is called Movie Screens and is performed by the band Midas Fall, who started in 2009. Although they are a relatively new band, they already enjoy great popularity and played in several major european cities.Their style is described as Postrock. The usage of for example synths, piano or simply the beautiful voice of Elizabeth Heatons' they create very dense and atmospheric songs.

This song is their absolute best performance. It starts slow and gains more power as the song goes on.

It electrifies you with every second that passes leading to a greater final where emotions finally explode. When the song ends it leaves a void. Imagine seeing the most beautiful flower you've ever seen and think of never seeing it again. That would be really tragic but fortunately we can listen to it over and over again ;-)

However, this song creates an affection that I rarely experience. The density and atmosphere is way to high so you can't just "listen" to it. This is a living piece of music. Almost extraterrestial.

Art at its' best.

Thanks to Duy for showing me this! Keep on rollin'!

This is... kinda new!

Hey folks!

It....is.... TIME. Yes, as I said I want to widen out the variety of the songs presented here, I thought I really need some decent Hip-Hop in here ;-). Now, I don't want to post a random SnoopDog-, Dr. Dre-, Grandmaster Flash-, 2pac- or Notorious B.I.G.-song that everyone is likely to know already!
And that's harder than it sounds, because my knowledge of HipHop is rather low.
BUT my superior taste in everything ;-) led me some day to Del Tha Funkee Homosapien (short: Del). The first album I got to know is from his project Deltron 3030, which is self-titled and sole as there are no further albums. I noticed Dels' style was kind of oldschool so I got interested. While listening, it remembered me of music my brother used to hear in the 90's. Of course there are differences in Deltron 3030, but nevertheless I think it's pretty close to oldschool, especially if you don't look at the production and lyrics.
So I dug deeper just to find some of Dels' earliest works. What I like about it is the simplicity that lies within the lyrics. It was taken from life and put into a song made by someone totally, I'd say, from next door. It is something probably everybody already has experienced. There's a good chance Del himself had a situation like this just the day before he had the idea for this track. I like it because I can identify myself with that. Not like so many songs we are made to hear nowadays.
The music itself is simply cool and funky, the whole track very funny.
From here on I'd say you better listen yourself at the link down here. The youtube-video is for those who want to take a look at Deltron 3030.

Stay tuned!

A glass of wine?

Here we go again!
Now this time I want to show you a song that is nowadays rather known for a movie published not so long ago. It appears in V for Vendetta, a movie that takes place in a mostly dark future in which england has fallen in the hands of a mind-manipulating government, bringing violence to those who defend themselves from propaganda and the police, forming a resistance.
However, the protagonist, simply called V, who constantly wears a Guy-Fawkes-mask, is the public enemy #1 as he terrorizes the government with pure violence. But nevertheless he is a very well educated man who saved tons of then forbidden books and arts.
This is the song which is played a few times in the movie, mostly in his hideout.

Now to the song itself (finally! phew).
It was performed by Julie London in 1957 and was so far her most successful one. It is a very soft and silent piece of jazz that invites to close your eyes, forget and dream a little bit. Although it appears to be a rather sad song, I think it also bears some kind of dignity. It doesn't decay in its own regrets but faces them, rising again and continuing after all.
So, if you'll listen to this song now or anytime else, rest and take some time of peace.

If you like this or don't, please comment!

And it's on!

There it is, the result of an idea which popped out just on my way home.

What is it?
I think of it as a project, to show some, in my humble opinion, golden pieces of music art one shall not miss.

What's so special about these songs?
I try to make this point as simple as possible. Maybe some professional musicists, students of art or scientists can describe music in some way and can put it in patterns that create the illusion of understanding music. But what they can't describe in a 100% perfect way is what music creates inside yourself. It's the feelings they make you feel, the shivering they cause or they simply blow your mind.
After all, all that matters is joy. If you can enjoy music in that unique way it is all worth the while.

Why do I do it?
Because I want to share those songs. Maybe they don't fit your mood exactly, but those who happen to pass by here and who can enjoy the music the way I do (or different, as long as it is good) then everything I wanted to achieve is done.

What is nexus?
In the dictionnary it says, it's "a complicated series of connections between different things" or in latin, it is "the act of binding together".
My goal here is that I collect different kinds of music and i don't want to commit to only one.
So I try to show a variety of songs here and that's where nexus fits and what it has to be.

Well, as this already got longer than intended here's the first song that felt so very strong when I heard it again today. I'll try to say more about the songs I post but I really  have to go ;-)

Here you go, We live no more by Black Label Society.
Enjoy.
