Found Kramat. This is not the original version from the Zimbabwe album. I have that one. The original is a tad shorter (6 minutes) and has less flourish but more beat; it is also studio only, no audience. The flute is still prominent though in the original.

Kramat is a burial shrine for a muslim saint. I didn't know that until I just tried to find the song. A most joyful funeral song. My mother must have felt that when she asked me to play that at her funeral (not dead, no worries).

@shubharamani:

Shoque, Madonna is my role model and I love her 80s music (everything else since then has sucked).

shubs - that is one horrible thing to say…she was good in the 80's  - but her really good pieces are albums like music or confessions on a dancefloor ...frozen was amazing ....so much better than like a virgin or holiday !

Sorry Beatle ! OK, you forget something – I'm old, so the reason I have a fondness for 80s music is because I was young during that time (in high school & college). But now that you say so, let me look up "Confessions..." and "Frozen" and give em a listen. Madonna is my role model because she's 50+ (not far from my age), she's amazingly brilliant, successful and gorgeous -- plus she treats her body like a temple, as I do. She's a yoga fanatic, doesn't do drugs/smoke, and drinks the occasional glass of wine (which I don't even do). Her vice is coffee (same as mine). Madonna has incredible self-love and high self-esteem -- she steadfastly refuses to get swept up into all that celebrity partying crap.

Looks like I have a music list ready to go for me today, while I work ! Thanks all !

Do you mean this guy? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennesz

LOL, I'm from Austria and I have never heard of him. Gotta listen to some stuff now…

[hectic]

Yeah, thats the guy, Shoque - some great electronica. I recommend Glide (its a track, not an album) as a starting point.

I love the song that goes with this, I feel uplifted everytime I hear it, not sure if it is the song that does it for me or the association with the imagery and concept:

It is called Praan, the lyrics are from a Bengali poem put to music by Garry Schyman.

Another one of my favorite songs – by my favorite heroin addict : Pete Doherty of Babyshambles, "Fuck Forever". I'm a big fan, as I own the shirts in both black and white. Here I am in my "boyfriend style" IH 1634 with my Mom :

My white one :

The acoustic version is awesome too !

Simon626, I've heard "The First Day of my Life" before, and I agree – it's a gorgeous song !

This song is awesome.  The syncronization of the audio/video is a big part of it for me.
