Mood Music?

I wonder if other people find that listening to nostalgic music brings a craving for the state of mind in which you used to listen to it.
These artists usually, although by no means always, elicit thoughts of -

Songs Of Kristofferson - Booze
Floyd & Moody Blues - Resin
Iron Butterfly - Grass
Tangerine Dream - Ecstasy
Fever Tree - LSD

I suspect resin and grass are now used interchangeably. Of course I only ever drank booze honest officer ;-) Does anyone else have music to get ..... moody to?

blink 182 - make me feel frivolous and childish AFI - make me feel alive and inspired Nickleback - make me feel a bit depressed, actually Lacuna Coil - make me feel mellow and dreamy Jewel - same as Lacuna Coil, but also makes me feel kinda hopeful Kosheen - make me feel languid and peaceful

Well Ari - I've never heard of anyone from your list except Jewel (on the Oprah Winfrey show). It seems I'm totally out of touch and explains why everyone disagrees about how Hollywood portrays America - I'll probally agree in a tear or two ;-) I probably mean a year or two.

Hi all I can't listen to Portishead's second album, as it reminds me of visits to the doctor for prozac... Nine Inch Nails - destroy everything Count Basie - coooollll....

Walk like a panther is a classic song. At the moment I've got Jewel on, coz I'm hoping it will get me in a chilled-out, writing-ey mood. Before it was Soil, because I wanted something edgy to be annoyed with people to. (I'm not sure that sentence makes a whole lotta sense).

Mykle, I think it's tricky recommending a piece from Delius, because tastes are so very different. However, there is a lot of choice: orchestral, concerto, chamber, choral, opera....you name it, it's available. Perhaps though, you could try 'On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring'. I feel so intensely when I listen to it...let me know how you react to it... It is beautiful music to write to because it doesn't intrude. It's also very calming so next time you feel that savage breast coming on, put on Delius to soothe you. ps He also had a fascinating and disturbing life, which is well worth reading about.....

I just checked in Encarta to find out more about Delius and I found out he was born quite near me - less than 20 miles - in Bradford. I though he was German for some reason and I'm absolutely amazed that I haven't heard anything about him as a Yorkshire composer. Thanks again Wolfie.
