Contemporary sailing music

Jeez Aledal, I don't even agree with you on that - I like your taste in music .

We're in one of those logic loops here Aledal: if I agree with you that we never agree on anything, then that means we agree on something, but if I disagree that we never agree on anything, that means I think that we agree on something. The only possible conclusion is that I think we agree on something, but I'm wrong. But you can't agree with that last sentence, so you must think I'm right that we agree on something. My head's starting to hurt - now I need some betel nuts.

_________________

Now -in reality... I think that we are really agreeing to disagree on whether or not we agree or disagree. Its probable that this agreement may not be agreeable-BUT( by the same token)... it was agreeable before it wasnt. Or at least thats my interpretation. So its accepted that we actually agree.
Thats what I thought I said in the first place Chrisj.

But you Aussies are tricky bastards...
Congrats to Pirate on the pin revision(and Hobie too)
PS-Thanks for the compliment on my taste in music

Thanks for another interesting post Aledal!
I'll have to work my way down your list. Some there I've never heard of.
It's not contemporary (though neither is Wagner ) but Felix Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture (Fingals Cave) captures really well the rolling surge of the ocean:

The usual cliched surf music fits AI type sailing (as in Hobie promo video) so anything by The Shadows, The Ventures, Dick Dale, and even our own great Aussie band The Atlantics works (Bombora is a classic).
One of my favourites is The Oil's tribute to the above styles with their Wedding Cake Island named after a rocky island off Coogee Beach:

PS-Pirate should be keelhauled for his Handles in the Wind

Thanks Twerto -never heard of any of them. You must be a young blossoming Bastard. Of all your songs which do you think is the best? I posted the original question in the hope that I might discover new music relative to sailing-or the ocean etc. I certainly got my wish list...
And hopefully turned others on to some great stuff as well.
Of all the songs I posted... I`d have to give Vangelis`s ANTARCTICA the sleeper award.
It sailed in right under the radar.

90% of the tracks can be found on the Northern Exposure cd mixed by Sasha and John Digweed, Cd came out in about 93 - 94 if i remember right, So im not a complete spring chicken Admitadly I choose them more by their name than perhaps what you would enjoy while sailing. ( as that is more of a personal choice imo as is most things involving music ) And they come mainly from the dance era in the uk at that time.
