     @nothingeverhappens I like them. The main guy Benjamin Bagby did an entertaining performance of Beowulf: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2WcIK_8f7oQ&t=112s. I just wish I knew how his pronunciation stacks up to the standard reconstruction (never studied Old English)

     They also have a good Norse album called Edda.

     @wertimer@clubcyberia.co MAN YOU CAN'T JUST DROP SUCH GOLD OUT OF NOWHERE! As soon I watched through the first couple of minutes, I realized I had to drop whatever I was planning to do this evening and watch it entirely! So lively, such energy, how he portrayed different characters in different voices, the war cry, the joy cry, the fun interruptions, the change of pace and rhythm... the terrible realization I will never be as cool as that guy, even remotely, and all I can hope for is at least a fraction of his authenticity for moments I want to tell a story. Now I wish we had something like that for Iliad... I remember long ago I watched a polyMATHY's video on the sound of the first Iliad's line, it's so cool! We need the whole thing as well!

     @wertimer@clubcyberia.co also there is a group called Sequentia, all their releases feature ""old stuff"" including medieval Gregorian chants, really soothing. Chri-i-istus vinci-i-it~

     @nothingeverhappens I figured I might as well learn some so I downloaded copies of Lingua Latina, too :blobcatthumbsup:

     BTW here's a catchy recording I like from the red book of Montserrat called Stella Splendens. They don't seem to have very classical pronunciation...
