I Agree!!


Check out Scott Mulvahill on youtube. I recommend "Begin Againers". 
I enjoy hearing his music, definitely innovative! on slightly different note, I was gifted the opportunity to see Les Claypool Fearless Flying Frog Brigade at a small venue in Houston this past July. I remember having mixed feelings about going as I knew nothing about FFFB, Les...sure. Not much into the show I was jumping up and down feeling the music. This dude asked, "Do you know who that is playing guitar?" No, he had a devilish grin and said "That's Sean Lennon!"  They played about a 50 min. version of Pigs by Pink Floyd. Wow! Les pulled out his double base and Whamola and totally rocked the house. The show blew me away. If I had the chance to see Mich Gerber, I would go!

This is better than "Sing Along with Mitch" because there aren't any lyrics.


Hey, don't be dissin' on Mr. Miller!  He was a TV staple in my childhood.  But great comment.  LOL.  Thumbs up.
GREAT!   RP introduced me to him. Now, I have 6 of his tunes on "My Favorites" list. Thanx RP!

Nope, it is interminably tedious and repetitively boring.

I think he primarily plays a double bass, not a cello, but I suppose he could be adept at both instruments.
 
I was surprised to see him listed as a bassist, as I also thought it was a cello, not a bass. Perhaps it's just the very upper register of a bass we're hearing? Or multiple instruments... An accomplished string player could easily adapt between cello and bass playing. I suppose I'd have to see more detailed information on this recording to know what's going on.

Great stuff! But who is this "Bajka" listed in sidebar as the artist? 
 
It seems the song 'By your side' on this album features Bajka.

Bajka Pluwatsch (born 25 December 1978), also known by her mononym and stage name Bajka (pronounced "Bai-Kah"), is a German artist born in India and raised in Portugal and South Africa. She is a poet, singer, producer, and songwriter.
(It's in the notes about the album.)

May be could've tuned it first perhaps?
(ignor that - i'm a drummer)
Nice 'intro', when's the song gonna start?
His wiki page https://goo.gl/rsgRws describes him as a multiinstramentalist composer and one of the first to use looping delays on stage.    His first album was released in 1997.

In contrast, Ed Allayne Johnsons famous first album "Electric Purple Violin Concerto was released 1992.

Rick Wright was looping delays on Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast in 1968 and no doubt in the live performances.
The lyrics on this song are especially deep.

Yeah but that's, like, my opinion, man.

No kidding - after hearing Gerber here on RP I searched fruitlessly for his music in all the usual places, and finally had my daughter send me a CD from Prague. It was worth it.

He's easier to find nowadays, but it's like trying to find certain English authors here in the US. I don't know whether to blame the tangle of copyright laws or what. 
We have a high schooler on our swim team, and his parents named him Eros...{#Think}
It's a might bit squeaky, idnit?

Not my "Cup of Tea" and appears to play regularly
I like this but it does sound a little like yet another bolero from Mich (not that I'm familiar with his work outside of RP)
Fortunately I likes me a good bolero I do.
Minimalist piece - excellent
Boring?love it.nice,very nice
i really like this! it has a certain meditative quality. nice one.

Hey, greetings in Uppsala. I'm reading the final Larsson book "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest." I wasn't familiar with Uppsala till I read his books. I bet it's a beautiful place. Despite the nefarious goings on in Sweden in those books, I'd really like to visit your country.
 
Actually I have not read any of his books nor seen the films. I'm a bit contrary when it comes to hype but I guess I'll come to them in due time. Uppsala is quite beautiful and sized just just enough to get all you need without the big city stress. The town is dominated by the universities with about 40-50k students in total. You should visit in late spring or early summer to get the best out of the town.
I opened the comment page for this song and saw i made a huge mistake, so let me correct it:

Man, what a slow afternoon. It's 105° outside and my truck has no AC. I come back to the apartment and my AC is out and it's a pleasant 95° inside. And this set of songs is playing:

Mich Gerber - Eros
Vienna Teng - Gravity
Los Lobos - Kiko and the Lavender Moon

I must have done somebody wrong. I apologize to anyone I offended today. I know something with a little more life will happen soon if I can just wait this out.

I didn't realize the Hindus invented deep house. Or is it house trance? Somebody enlighten me, please.

 You might need to hire this guy!

A few short hours ago I was told my father died today. I sat with him yesterday telling jokes, enjoying the tea and the warm evening.
I took a great picture of him. After a portion of shock has passed i decided the only thing to really sooth me at all would be one of special common threads-the love of music. Hearing this song with passion, I instantly began to dance and cry. This song was healing. My son came and joined me-I want to dance for grandpa too. Thank you radio paradise.

Ah, the music of the Subcontinent: love it, hate it, you just got to love it. Fortunately, I really do love it but can understand how to some folks' musical sensibilities it is the sonic equivalent of a poke in the ear.
Make it stop
I like this feller!
ALL Right already, poke me in the eye.{#Headache}
Enough. Next band please!

How do you spell ''raga''?
drone,drone,drone,drone,drone,drone,drone.... a soundtrack to a hangover.
if you like that try his album "tales of the wind"
I like this music very much!!
I like Mich Gerber really different music
I'm going to wonderer to another station. I'll be back!

No like it. It marginal track. Also too much world music last time in RP (imho). Last mark's ratio are 1-2, so.

On second thought. . . . .  Nope, I still don't care too much for it. 
Is this from a movie sound track?  Sounds vaguely familiar, just can't remember were I have heard it.
I'm on the fence about this one  {#Stupid}

Love the oriental touch
This is very cool.
This song really need a sub-woofer for the full effect.

Good thing I've got the ol' 8" Cabasse in my office now - it's thumpin' along with this groove.

Not bad but it just strikes me as a rally good stoner tune. Pass the hookah...
It makes my partner more sensual and wonderful at foreplay - it is for sure an erotic song.
{#Lol}  I'm getting a few chuckles from some of the comments below.  For myself, it's about as erotic as a root canal, but it is a good piece.

Eros
In Hesiod's Theogony, the most famous Greek creation myth, Eros sprang forth from the primordial Chaos together with Gaea, the Earth, and Tartarus, the underworld; according to Aristophanes' play The Birds (c. 414 BC), he burgeons forth from an egg laid by Nyx (Night) conceived with Erebus (Darkness).

Kind of monotonous and dreary...  {#Rolleyes}

I think the intent behind this piece is potentially interesting, but it really never goes anywhere. I appreciate rhythmic repetition, but this fails to blend these two approaches very well.
Yep, its boring zzzzzz
This is just SO boring, repetitive and predictable and WAY too long to endure. Next song please and make it quick!


Fabulous.  Especially after that insipid Vienna Teng.
