Bi-Monthly Comp : Musicbanter October 2009 ... Goes Medieval On Your Ass!

storymilo · 10-20-2009, 03:36 PM

So this is what's left...

Korpiklaani - Pine Woods
Scott Williams - Greensleeves
Ripaille - Epilogue
Absu - Night Fire Canonization

Alfred
Muzak
sidewinder
Toretorden

Toretorden- Ripaille?
Alfred- Scott Williams?

If I'm wrong again I think I'll just give up on this game in the future

Alfred · 10-20-2009, 04:31 PM

I thought it'd be really obvious by now.

Wrong again story .. but at least you've done a good job narrowing down the alternatives

sidewinder · 10-20-2009, 04:58 PM

Guesses:

Korpiklaani - Alfred
Scott Williams - Toretorden
Absu - Muzak

^You got me, but the other guesses are incorrect

The reason I chose Scarborough Fair and Greensleeves is that aside from that I think they are nice songs, they are both (english) medieval ballads. Both these songs have been recorded by a multitude of artists from cheap techno versions to chilean pan-flute artists to sarah brightman and Frank Sinatra. Greensleeves is even known as a christmas tune I think in America, although I don't know how that first started.

Anyways, Scott Williams' Greensleeves is a good version and it sounds pretty medieval-ish to me. Simon & Garfunkel's take on Scarborough Fair is also good, I think. They've certainly done it with a medieval twist. It even sounds a bit like they've taken inspiration from gregorian chant which was an important musical expression or whatever you call it in medieval times.

About time. I thought I would've been guessed real quick.

I chose Clannad because I have loved the band for around 20 years. Their music lends itself well to traditional sounds and that particular track is from the S/T they did in the early 80's for a Robin Hood TV Series that based itself in mythology and ambience instead of poor heroic action.
