doughelvering post Ozzy Osbourne: Diary of a Madman (Side 2) from patreon

This video finished my review of Ozzy Osbourne's 2nd solo album, Diary of a Madman. Both of my episodes on this album were blocked on YouTube. So, I wanted to make it available here on Patreon.

Enjoy!

It's a little delayed, but I'm glad I waited until I had a good slot of time to dive head-first into this proggy masterpiece. I grooved on every single song in this 1976 album by Kansas. I hope you enjoy!

doughelvering post U.K. (U.K.) | Extended Play Lounge Ep. 62 from patreon

This was a wild album, y'all! Unbelievable amounts of musical color...great riffs...smart chord changes...I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was like hearing a King Crimson Jazz Fusion album.

Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity | Behind the Score Ep. 51

doughelvering post Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity | Behind the Score Ep. 51 from patreon

I think this is my personal favorite of all the movements from Holst's The Planets. It's buoyant and lively bits are derived from the noble folk hymn theme at the heart of the movement. The compositional construction (as well as the orchestration) are impeccable, and the result is one of the more cherished 8 minutes of orches...

I enjoyed this album much more than I was anticipating...especially after reading about all of the 'drama' happening behind the scenes with financial and artistic differences in the band as well as a roster change...with Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman departing the band before the album was completed.

This is a fascinati...

Short Ride in a Fast Machine (John Adams) | Behind the Score, Ep. 50

doughelvering post Short Ride in a Fast Machine (John Adams) | Behind the Score, Ep. 50 from patreon

For our first Behind the Score of 2024, we're starting off with a bang with John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine.

This piece for large orchestra is a bit of an anomaly with a duration under five minutes. It's an exciting ride full of rhythmic vitality. I hope you enjoy my deep dive into this piece!
