Growing up I had Fantasia on cassettes and would wear my walkman in bed falling asleep listening to it. Watching this more recent video of Aleksandr Hrustevich he preforms a marvelous piece that struck a cord deep in my subconscious. I recognized that piece and like Pavlov's dog I had an immediate response, to find out which one it was. It took me about 2 minutes of listening to place it, then dig up the videos.
Now I present you with Aleksandr Hrustevich preforming an excerpt (video 2) from Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring plus the original Fantasia footage that was removed from Fantasia 2000 and replaced with a more "Creatonist" point of view featuring Noa's Ark. I prefer the original 1940 Evolutionist version.
This is old - but remains one of my favorite songs - its one of those "dance around in the living room in your underwear" kind of songs - I always have this on my Ipod. Plus the video is hillarious =p
Ok you may kill me now =p

I love soundtracks. They are typically pure music.
One of the biggest questions we hear when the music goes out is “Who is that female singer?” So, who is Helene Bøksle? How did you find her? Where could curious players/fans find more of her?
Helene is a well known Norwegian folk/pop singer. Helenes voice is closely connected to the Eiglophian Mountains and the Vanir. This area is very Nordic looking and my approach to the music for this area was to make it as Norwegian- or Norse-sounding as possible. From very early on in this project I knew I wanted to use Helene for this. She has the most pristine and Norwegian-sounding voice I have ever heard, so I basically had no other candidate. I phoned her and asked if she would be interested and luckily she said yes. At the time, she really had no idea of what she was getting into and was a bit apprehensive I think, but she was convinced by some friends and ended up doing it. She says she’s very happy with her decision now. And so am I: This is a perfect example of how astonishing the result can be when you write music for one particular person and this person is the perfect performer for this particular piece of music. The six songs that she performs in the game would not have been what they are today with any other singer. In fact, they wouldn’t even exist, since I wrote them for her.
If you are interested in hearing more of her, she has released one album and the second will be out shortly. You should look her up at www.heleneboksle.no or www.myspace.com/helenebksle

A very unknown band called Three, just gunna post the first video, but feel free to look at the rest on here, should link to the rest of the videos from the show. Been listening to them awhile, really talented band that just can't seem to make it yet.
