Brilliant gentle/fragile music - recommendations

[albionism]

Ben Christophers -Give Me Everything

 

[atitlan]

Angel Milk by télépopmusik - pretty much the whole album.

Kate St. John - Second Sight - again pretty much the whole album

 

[llion]

Another Eno recommendation - Another Green World. He's got quite a fragile singing voice on this album!
The Orb - Star 6 & 7,8,9

 

[ericjarvis]

The Sundays
Any of the following tracks: Here's Where The Story Ends, Homeward, Folk Song, When I'm Thinking About You, Leave This City.

 

[AverageJoe]

Slowdive - When the Sun Hits

 

[AverageJoe]

Cardiacs - Is This The Life

thats the video

This is the full length version - much more epic (and in my mind beautiful - its just the guitar tones in the last 3 mins that get me)

 

[AverageJoe]

Oh - and this girl.

Tigermilk. She isnt signed yet (I think), but its beautiful - like Suzanne Vega fronting Grandaddy.

She deserves to be huge.

8 miles high (Chris Hillman):
Kings of Conveninece: Toxic Girl:

 

[Ron Merlin]

Anything from Tell Me One Thing That Is New by Louise Le May. She deserves to be huge. Yes, she's a mate but she's very talented indeed.

[kyser_soze]

Flower duet from Délibes Lakmé.

Pretty much anything on the Agnus Dei compilation albums - all vocal versions of a variety of Dies Iraes, Requims etc, including the utterly heart-wrenching version set to Barber's score. I don't know if I'd be able to listen to it live without crying.

 

[twistedAM]

Has anyone mentioned www.myspace.com/olafurarnalds yet?

Or indeed just about anything on the lovely Erased Tapes label.

 

[haushoch]

Josh Ritter - Wings


Lovely.

You are the gayest man I know.

poignant and dark, rather than fragile and gentle

bark psychosis - i know

the chills - pink frost

momus - murderers, the hope of women

mogwai - take me somewhere nice
