Music

I am looking for a song that I had a copy of several years ago. I believe it was by Velvet Hammer, and the song itself called "We do not die". It was a song sung by a woman, talking about how God had told her that there is no end, we do not die. Very powerful. I would very much like to find a copy of it again. Trying to get back some of the old music I had before hard drive death and multiple computer migrations. That one in particular, I want the energy of back in my life.

Okay, a look at the music page on your site confirms my belief that you need some Hector Zazou CDs in your life. It also supports my hunch that a compilation of Music for Elves could do worse than to begin with "anyone who has ever so much as burped on a Hector Zazou recording" and go on from there.

Not that I'm convinced that every artist he's worked with would fit the elven feel, but the percentage must be awfully high. A partial listing of people on his albums would include: Anneli M. Drecker of Bel Canto, Siouxsie & Budgie of the Banshees/Creatures, Brendan Perry & Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance, John Cale, Bill Laswell, B.J. Cole, Ray Lema, Peter Gabriel, Lightwave, Catharine-Ann MacPhee, Khaled, Värttinä, David Sylvian, Suzanne Vega, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Wimme, Tim Simenon (Bomb the Bass), Harold Budd, Hossam Ramzy, Lisa Germano, Carlos Núñez, Caroline Lavelle, Jane Siberry, Bjork...

Oooh, just by some of the ones he has worked with I see I'm going to have to check him out.

I am heavily biased in favor of the album Songs from the Cold Seas, but he's done lots of stuff worth digging into, melding and playing with a variety of musical styles. AllMusic Guide has a decent bio here (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:8ad8vwrta9qk~T1).
