I LOVE ENIGMA! and ENYA! They are great music to do homework to. makes me concentrate…
Yeah, Enigma is not bad. I love the stuff Enya did for the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. 
I’m sure you know her, but Vanessa Mae has a couple of good things too. It’s more pop/classical though.
you know what… I like Watermark by Enya, it’s a really good cd. However, all the other ones… oh god… sorry… can’t stand them. Enigma’s alright, but they border on that happy go lucky stuff that’s way too corny for my taste. However, you guys might like Deep Forest and Andreas Vollenweider. Maybe Yanni… it’s like enya… I like Live at the Acropolis, but hate all his other stuff…
However, if you want a mix of hard rock and classical, check out VAST’s Visual Audio Sensory Theatre. That album is freaking awesome.
oh, vannessa mae… I think she did the Castlevania soundtrack, or something…
I didn’t think Yanni was considered techno, but if it is, I’m all for it! I have almost all of Yanni’s CDs, and I find his last two CDs to be more of my liking. If I Could Tell You and his latest work Ethnicity are really good.
I like many of Enya’s more recent songs (from the past 5 years).
Cheers!

i love it! i just hate those turds that hate it and never even listend to it, eg. the punk rockers at school that think they are cool because they just listen to their stuff and don’t give anything a chance >:|
Martix, Everyone has listens to difftent types of music, it doesnt make them “turds”
haha… techno yanni… that’d be freaking hilarious… I was just mentioning it cause you guys were talking about “sentimental” artists… lol
techno sucks:tb: 
I dont listen to the kind of techno that lost or edwin listen to… I’m a big fan of trance/house/industrial kind of music… very emotional… , i call it all techno 
Never heard of VAST’s Visual Audio Sensory Theatre, but I will ask it in the record store next time I’m going into town.
If you want some light metal / classic / rocky style, check out Within Temptation’s “Mother Earth” album. Especially the songs “Ice Queen” and “Mother Earth” are awesome! They are a Dutch group and had a big hit with those two songs in the Benelux last summer… I don’t know if you will find their albums in the US, but they became pretty big…

I don’t know if it’s different where you are but I listen to punk and would consider myslef far from narrow minded when it comes to music.
I listen to everything. But if you guys want the best song i have EVER heard (not techno) its “Looks Like Rain” by the Grateful Dead. THE BEST
I love techno, trance and so (…) but I listen to (and I really like) rock, rap, hiphop, r&b. I cant stand country and pop like Britney and so, but I never say that it’s bad till I’ve listened to it 
Enigma is not bad I’ve got 37 songs of Enigma. I really like Push The Limits, but other songs of them are too… quiet and a bit boring.

** Very popular in Belgium and other countries in Europe. **
Haha, Sylver is not that popular in Lithuania. You could say “countries in W.Europe” More techno groups from Belgium? Oh and where’s Paul van Dyk from?
could anyone tell me what is TRIP HOP? Some examples?
tiphop is portishead…

Yeah, well, I didn’t mean all the European countries of course. I know that they are popular in France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, etc. I was very surprised when I heard old Sylver songs on the Finnish radio as “latest hit”.
It’s maybe not super popular in Lithuania, but at least you heard of them. 
There’s this other Belgian techno group, Milk Inc., but I don’t know if they are well-known outside the Benelux.
Paul van who? Sorry, never heard of the guy. I’m not really a techno fan, but after some research on Google I believe he’s German. His name sounds Belgian/Dutch though.
Ok, I have never listend to Enigma or any of that kind of music before so after reading this thread I decided to give it a listen.
This stuff is amazing to listen to, especially while at work, it’s just so… relaxing! I love it!! And this is coming from a guy who listens to Rap and Hip Hop 98% of the time. Thanks for turning me onto this stuff guys. I am going to see what Enya is like next I think 
haha… enigma and enya… lol. What am I listening to right now? well… the Neptunes of course…
Right now I’m listening to the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Amazing stuff if you’re into soundtracks. Besides soundtracks, other artists I often listen to:
- Neneh Cherry
- Michael Jackson
- Queen
- Foo Fighters
- Eminem
- Nelly
- Gary Jules
- …
Right now I am listening to Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares
