The [Hotline Miami soundtrack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKD-MVfC9Ag). All electronic music, mostly aggressive but fairly standard EDM and hip-hop beats, but some pretty bizarre, psycho stuff too. ---

The first few Rolling Stones albums–when they were blues purists and Brian Jones was calling the shots–are the ones I paid no mind to when I was a teenager in the 70s. I thought there was something lazy about them doing mostly blues covers. Now, those three albums–**Rolling Stones (UK), The Rolling Stones Now** and **12x5** –are about all I listen to. (Also **Blue & Lonesome** , but that has a slight by-the-numbers feel.) ---

Olivier Messiaen’s **Quatour pour La fin du temps** (Quartet for the End of Time) performed by the Gould Piano Trio plus Robert Plane on clarinet. Messiaen composed it while incarcerated in a German POW camp. It was premiered in the camp in 1941, with Messiaen at the piano and fellow prisoners on violin, cello, and clarinet, and very decrepit instruments they were, too. Much later the composer recalled of the audience, comprised of about 400 prisoners and guards, “Never was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension.” ---

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > Olivier Messiaen’s **Quatour pour La fin du temps** (Quartet for the End of Time) performed by the Gould Piano Trio plus Robert Plane on clarinet… Reminded me, in an out-of-the-way connection, of “Un parfum de fin du monde” one of those awesome French songs. Google was frustrating, but I got the sense that it is a composition of Michel LaGrand so it is a “modern standard” so to speak. Here is Natalie Choquette singing it - [https://youtu.be/BW5X\_c\_lsiY](https://youtu.be/BW5X_c_lsiY) ---

Lovely operatic soprano. Compulsive bass and piano. Could do without the swelling strings. Thank you! ---

Greatest 20th century virtuoso Horowitz plays greatest 19th century virtuoso/composer Liszt ([Hungarian Rhapsody #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v95I6kGghmk)). Stellar performance. Incredible cadenza. Tom and Jerry are rolling in their graves. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-music-are-you-listening-to-now/821070.md?page=4)
