Uwe Hermann | A slightly paranoid Debian developer

Here comes (another) slow, dark, almost depressive piece by Mercy Machine. It has German lyrics and spreads a very very dark, melancholic mood, while still being nice to listen to.

Next up is something much, much brighter and happier, I promise ;)

A great composition by Gerry Dempsey, who plays on the guitar and is accompanied by Ian Jacks on the violin. They dedicated the piece to Israeli anti-nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu.

If you like the tune, make sure to also checkout this other version, which puts more emphasis on the violins, IMHO.

A fine fiddling tune by Phil Newton (violin) and Tom Joad (guitar) called "High-Flyer Stomp".

Here comes another tune from Minstrel Spirit's album "Enter The Woods". Again, a slow and melodic medieval song. This one's for godo, because he was the first to comment on my podcast ;-)
