Anna Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I know deep within my soul that NONE OF YOU are going to reach me on this,.... but this music is incredible. It's a cappella, and it's the strongest I've ever heard, collegiate group or otherwise. It's African music sung by a college group, Stanford University. [url]http://www.stanfordtalisman.com/html/frames.htm[/url] Click the green box at the top. [i]Passage[/i], their latest album has the two songs I'm listening to the most. The first one gives me goosebumps. I IMPLORE you to listen to it all the way through. But, I guess, not enough people are familiar enough with this type of music to appriciate it,.... but nonetheless I felt obligated to bring this to light for some of you. I hope you enjoy.

wrist cutter Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 You're right... I'm not familiar enough with a capella music to really tell what is better than something else. [i]However[/i], I really, really enjoyed the first song I listened to. Edit: Listened to "The Famine Song" tonight and liked it too... not as much as the other one, but still very good nonetheless.

Anna Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Ah you are wonderful! You actually tried it out [i]and[/i] happened to enjoy it as well! Yay! ^_^ Well, if you enjoyed Talisman (which isn't the typical style of collegiate a cappella groups, but that definately makes them stand out all the more) then you'd at least appriciate a lot of other a cappella groups that are out there. There are some groups that sound sooooo [i]tight[/i] you really can't tell there are no instruments. [URL=http://www.rockapella.com]Rockapella[/URL], [URL=http://www.biggerbread.com/hear.htm]The House Jacks[/URL], [URL=http://dolphin.upenn.edu/~otb/music/]Off the Beat[/URL], spiralmouth, [URL=http://www.hyannissound.com/]The Hyannis Sound[/URL], and my own personal favorite [URL=http://www.insideout-acappella.com]InsideOut[/URL] are some really good ones to check out. A huge majority of these groups are formed at colleges, i.e. collegiate like Hyannis Sound, Off the Beat, and InsideOut is a group of BYU graduates. Rockapella and House Jacks and spiralmouth have been around a lot longer and are professional. I put up links to bands who do some good remakes of contemporary songs, like [i]Closer[/i] by NIN (spiralmouth), [i]Kashmir[/i] by Led Zepplin (House Jacks) and [i]3 Libras[/i] by A Perfect Cirlce (Off the Beat), and [i]Pride[/i] by U2 (Hyannis Sound). -EDiT- [URL=http://www.tufts.edu/~mates/bamboo.html]The Amalgamates[/URL] do [i]3 Libras[/i], Off the Beat doesn't have playable clip of it. But OTB does plenty of other good songs ^_^ like [i]Overcome[/i] by live and [i]Crawling in the Dark[/i] by hoobastank. (And a side note, listen to [i]Taken Up[/i] by InsideOut; it's an original by them........ do it!) Come on everyone, ...... you KNOW you're curious......
