I like classical music and being mellow

I usually have a few classical tunes in my collection but have found that they were missing from my latest incarnation of music. So I bought like 50 songs for a little over 10 bucks down at iTunes. I'm a big fan of a lot of old masters. What really got me going was 'Rhapsody in Blue' by George Gershwin. I was driving the other day and I heard that on the radio and it sent my head swimming. It's a beautiful tune and worthy of some praise.

I was also intrigued by this movie called 'Equilibrium' where the Batman guy is living in a place with no emotions, controlled by priests who distribute a drug to tame the population. Christian Bale is a high priest who hunts down 'sense offenders' and then kills them. There was a scene in which he walks into an illegal hidden room with all kinds of artifacts and then listens to the 9th symphony by Beethoven and is just overwhelmed emotionally. I too really liked that piece of work and decided to get it and see if I could recreate the same emotions that I felt when listening to that masterwork.
