Wow.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra: "Moonlight Serenade". (mp3).
What can I say? This is timeless. Beautiful. We must never let this music be forgotten. If I could only write songs 1% as lovely as this, I would call myself a real musician.

Classics Corner!
Here's a piece of music I've always been very fond of: Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espanol, movement 4 "Scena e canto gitano" (mp3). It's very beautiful, isn't it?

Joy Division's "Atmosphere" - a very slight remix
...from the obscene to the sublime, eh?
"Atmosphere" is one of Jay-Dee's best songs, a truly wonderful piece of modern music.
