H2O in music

Note : the image is a copyright free one that I found and edited. It depicts a drop of water into which I added a musical note clip-art and is also used as the O in the H2O formula representing a water molecule. 

Water is essential to Life as we know it. Water surrounds us, in rivers, lakes, the oceans. They have inspired many authors of fiction and, for this blog's needs, lyricists. So, I thought to share music in regards to this very topic of water, but expand to allegorical uses as well. 

Schiller (album 3) - Leben

Schiller's third album, Leben, is one of my favorite of his albums, and there are quite a few versions of it in the market, with varying tracks.

It was recorded in 2002-2003 and released in Germany on 13/10/2003. 

  

Schiller (part 0)

Let me introduce you to my second biggest musical obsession of the past couple years: German electronic DJ Christopher Von Deylen, aka Schiller - named after the famous poet and dramatist of the same name (and with the first name Friedrich).

In the early days, Schiller wasn't a one-man band with guests, but also included Mirgo Von Schlieffen, who remained with Christopher from 1998 to about 2001 or 2002. 

Like many other DJ's, Christopher/ Schiller never provide any vocals. Instead, he has a plethora of guests who sing - usually in English, but sometimes in German or other languages.

Schiller (vid 1) - Weltreise

Schiller's second album is also the first to get a video release in the form of a DVD, released the same year as the regular and limited edition CD. But, why would anyone buy this since that CD is made in dolby surround? I'll tell you why : because it offers more than the album itself.

Schiller (album 2 - Weltreise (world travel) / Voyage

Schiller's second album marks a shift in its entirety: if you recall, the first album, Zeitgeist had a few spoken word lyrics, all in German. The music was Trance and Ambient. 

Weltreise ( meaning World travel), is the first Trance and Synthpop, and also the first to invite vocalists for several songs as you'll see on these images of my special, 2 cd, limited edition

Schiller (album 1) - Zeitgeist

Schiller's first album was released in 1999. It is characterized by mostly instrumental pieces, with very little spoken words, mostly at the start and end of songs. 

It is a trance and ambient record, offered in Dolby Surround like the following 5 albums would be.
