There is another new music piece by music2work 2. "Shut Up and Play" is a session just beginning to be developed by Andrew. The sole voice now is the organ; others will probably be added later. As Andrew says, "This is real music2work2." I like it as it is now but I am also anxious to hear it as he develops it further.
Andrew had a brilliant idea a while back to seach for MySpace friends based on the musicians/bands that are influences on music2work2. The first search was for people who also liked Michael Nyman and Pink Floyd. Would you believe the search resulted in over 900 matches? This second round is an even more unusual combination - Paganini and Keith Richards. Less than 50 matches there.
This is a very interesting way of finding people who might like our music. And, apparently his idea was right on!
The music of The Muckrakers is about as different from music2work2 as it can possibly be. The Muckrakers are one of our MySpace friends. They are a band of 5 members from Louisville, Kentucky who compose and play Rock/Acoustic/Pop music. Their music is melodic; their voices combine harmoniously. In a word, their music is "fun." It's almost impossible to listen to it and not move to the music.
All four songs on their MySpace page are enjoyable to listen to. I particularly like Through My Door but liked the others also.
music2work2 sessions are music to have playing when you are involved in a task or concentrating, as background that doesn't distract you from what you are doing but makes it more pleasant. The music of The Muckrakers is music "to" distract you, to make you feel good, to move and to dance.
