Opeth on the Operating Table

[MixGrafix]

Tomorrow morning I am going in for back surgery, and during my pre-op consult, they told me I can listen to a flash based ipod to listen when I am under anesthesia.

Any musical suggestions or playlists that my fellow Opethians may recommend while I am under the knife?

Brain Damage by Floyd.

Anything by Carcass would be appropriate, too : )

 

[Lothlorien]

"mmmbop" and "back dat ass up."

I listened to Clapton Unplugged while I had oral surgery and it was a religious experience.

What kind of back surgery?

BRI would probably get you through the entire surgery.

I was actually listening to this during the Novocaine injection of my last dentist appointment. I laughed a little when I realized the irony.

I would just go with Still Life or My Arms, Your Hearse from start to finish. Maybe both, if time permits.

You weren't expecting to get some serious suggestions on that question, or were you?

Ok, here's one: If I wanted to listen to some music which could make me forget completely about where I am and what is happening around me, I'ld choose The Ambush (which is an obscure german Techno/Trance/Ambient project). But I think there's some probability that you won't like this. Another one could be some Miles Davis recordings, either the Bitches Brew sessions, or his recordings with the second great quintett. Not exactly hypnotic, but definitely requiring concentration. Next, I could do with Kangaroo Moon (some ethno/hippie/irish folk outfit) or Rabih Abouh Khalil (a Munich-based Lebanese doing some jazzy arabic stuff).

As you can see, in such a situation I prolly wouldn't chose any metal music. If I were to chose metal Opeth would be the best choice for me, then perhaps Nevermore or Skyclad. But that's about it.

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


Seriously, though, Mix, what are you looking for? To stay calm? Go for Bach or Vivaldi or something.

Bloodbath.

Any ambient would do the trick.
