I'm going to test a new idea I've had. Every day I'm going to share an album that's available on Youtube that I really enjoy. Let me know what you think.
Today's album is the absolutely beautiful soundtrack to Richard Linklater's Waking Life. The album is composed by Glover Gill and performed by the Tosca Tango Orchestra.
The only way I can really describe the sound of this album is to that it sounds as if one of the classical composers had take a nice dose of LSD. Don't let that description put you off, there's nothing too crazy or unconventional here, it's closer to classical than psychedelic but I feel it certainly has some trippy elements to it. It's brooding, it's tense, it's odd, but more than anything else it's fun.
I'm not going to talk about the film here other than to say you should really check it out.
Track list and personnel info can be found on the Wikipedia page.
Track 6 is Nocturne in E-Flat Opus 9 #2, originally composed by Frédéric Chopin.
Track 9 is Nocturna, originally composed by Julian Plaza.
And for those of you who have made it this far, here is a bonus video of the Tosca Tango Orchestra rehearsing one of the songs from the album.
Anyway, that's the album of the day today, I hope you enjoy it.
A great example on how things should be shared on Steemit. I must check out the film.

Thanks. I feel it's important when sharing other people's work to give a little bit of information and some thoughts and opinions, it feels weird to do otherwise, haha. And, yeah, you should definitely check out the film, it's one of my favorites.

I agree with @ammonite, this is how it should be, not just a link to the music and nothing else, People need to say "Why" they posted something. I really do not like the drive by posters who just throw stuff up and say nothing.
