Re: Radiothread
On March the 9th, 2008 I posted in this thread saying "Who?" (referring to Radiohead), you know, trying to be funny. I had never listened to the band then, other than Creep I suppose. A few months ago I got a box full of cassettes with three Radiohead records in it: The Bends, OK Computer ...

Re: Classical works with the best use of percussion
I've always found the offstage random clattering in Mahler's 6th somewhat disturbing, but very cool. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Stravinsky's Rite of Spring (maybe it's too obvious? I feel like a noob now :P) Also Ionisation by Edgard Varèse (get a load a' them clusters!!) . Worth mentioning ...

Re: Electric String Instruments (More specifically cello)
Electric cello definitively sounds different than an acoustic one This is a good example.. It's not a huge difference, though.
You should try one out at a music store, even if it's not the exact same model you want to buy.
