#132 - Music of the Gods?

[reileen]

Well, music for Artemis, at least. And it's a small-ass list right now.

Artemis - Charming Gun
Artemis - Changing Sky
Artemis - Beside U
Artemis - Don't Look Back
Meredith Brooks - Bitch
Nightwish - Amaranth
Poe - Wild

Yes, I fully realize the implications/irony of having a musician named Artemis earn a couple of slots on this "Artemis Album." But besides just being good music, those songs hold personal meaning for me as well, in particular "Beside U" and "Don't Look Back." "Charming Gun" and "Changing Sky" remind me of Artemis (the goddess) more in the atmosphere that they evoke. Sadly, Artemis (Robinson) doesn't seem to have officially released any new work - most of her latest stuff as far as I can see are either remixes that other people have done of her songs, or a single song of hers featured in a "taster" CD of the electronica/trip-hop genre.

I'm planning on checking out the soundtrack (and the movie, too, since I haven't seen it) of Hayazaki's Princess Mononoke. Because hello, that entire movie practically embodies Artemisian ideals.
