PS22 5th Grade Chorus 2003 ALPHA -- BLUE AUTUMN (Winter)

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com

The brilliant duo of Corin Dingley and Andy Jenks comprise Alpha (on Massive Attack's Melankolic label), a group that offers probably my favorite electronica out there. Aside from their brilliant music, Alpha has gained lots of recognition for their amazing gift of the remix! This song, "Blue Autumn" was on their UNBELIEVABLE CD Stargazing. Alpha employs some amazing guest vocalists, Wendy Stubbs, Helen White, Kelvin Swaby (who sings two unbelievable tracks, "Elvis" and "I Just Wanna Make You"), and the brilliant Martin Barnard (who sings some of my most revered songs ever -- "Sometime Later", "Back", "Firefly", "Dim", "Wise", "Clear Skies", "Lipstick From The Asylum", "Portable Living Room", etc.... HIS VOICE IS SICK!!!)

With slight alteration, we used it for our winter concert, as "Blue Winter". And, I'm happy to report it was very well received!

This isn't necessarily the chorus' best performance of it, but it's just such a beautiful song.....

Gregg, your musical taste is excellent. I bought Alphas's records "ComeFromHeaven" and "The Impossible Thrill" in 2001 or so, and until I first saw this video of yours I have never known anyone who has ever even heard of this band. What are the odds?

[agreggofsociety]

i'm equally impressed with yours, z.  thanks! :)

[sdingley]

we came across this and are quite overwhelmed. Corin of Alpha is quite humbled by it. It was really lovely to watch.

[Zendrig]

Thanks. :) By the way, I could've written a similar post on your video of "The Kiss" by Hooverphonic because since I bought their debut album in 1996 they didn't get much airplay, either.
