Very glad to hear from you! I was concerned (though I guessed you'd be having issues....).
Um, I'm not sure if you'd like them or not.
One question:
1) Do you like the soundtrack to Gladiator?
If the answer is 'yes', then you'd like them.
Brendan Parry may look like an accountant, but IMO he's got one of the sexiest voices around (my top three, in case you're wondering, are Jim Morrison, David Gahan and Brendan Parry, in no particular order).
If you're writing anything alien, strange or unearthly, it might just do the trick. I use the albums Aion; Spleen and Ideal and Dead Can Dance for writing medieval stuff, but if venturing into prehistory (Late Neo/Early Bronze Age in particular), it has to be Spiritchaser or Serpent's Egg. Into the Labyrinth is something I listen to, but for some odd reason I've never written to it!
Incidentally, I always play Song of the Stars from Spiritchaser when I lose a loved one (human or animal). It's my symbolic way of speeding my loved one on into the realms of the Ancestors... I might have quoted you some of the lyrics when you lost poor Diva, or maybe I held back because I was worried I'd upset you...
We also had The Spider's Strategem played at our wedding when the register was being signed. I'm sure my husband will say that it was an appropriate choice...
Check them out on You Tube and see what you think. Try The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove, if you can...
