ORIGINAL: bashfulhuck But seriously, Sirenia, I'm not kidding. You might add Theatre of Tragedy (2), The Sins of Thy Beloved, Trail of Tears, Tristania (2), Isengard, and a bunch of others (all links to YouTube). Norway has a ton of bands like Sirenia, mostly from the cities Stavanger and Bergen (where I live). Whether they're suitable for sessions is another matter. I wouldn't have pegged Sirenia as suitable, but I guess it depends on what you're doing and who you're doing it with. For those who do performances, there should be something from each that would be good, though. The problem with background music is the pacing, more than anything, IMO. You can't find very many good songs out there which have a pace that's suitable for the whole thing, and even if you know the track well, there will be times when the pace is wrong for what you had in mind and the mindspace the sub is in at the time. When it works, it works very well, and when it doesn't work, it doesn't work at all; at least, that's been my experience. Do check out the music, though... it's good stuff, particularly the first link. Health, al-Aswad. Edit: Somewhat calmer, different genre: Midnight Choir.
