O/T:- Music - Nightwish (No politics or Handbags Please).

Although I had heard of Nightwish, I had never listened to them until a couple of weeks ago when Youtube recommended a track titled The Greatest Show on Earth.

This band produce music I can only describe as epic. I thoroughly recommend their new album Human Nature.

Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwz7-h9LCDU The first track from the new album.

Shoemaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjp_DfvJimg The third track from the new album, a tribute to Eugene Shoemaker.

The Poet and the Pendulum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEzZRMthhXU A song inspired by The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe.

Their uilleann piper, Troy Donockley, is a superb musician.

Agreed! "Sleeping Sun" which was used in the TV docudrama about the sinking of the Britannic is a great track
