Listening habits, pt.2

It's been 18 months (and 12 days) since I listed the artists which fill my 20 Gb Creative Zen mp3 player, so I thought I'd provide an update.

It now contains 2475 tracks (193 more than in June 2005) from 277 albums (29 more). Obviously I've deleted some tracks in order to fit in the additional material, but most were extremely long pieces (20-30 mins each), so there's been less changeover than simply addition; all the artists included in June 2005 are still represented by at least one track. I won't repeat the entire list (see the earlier entry for that), but these are the additions:

Anton Karas – the famous zither theme from 'The Third Man', ripped from the DVD.
Björk
Carter Burwell – Who? This is the 'Miller's Crossing' theme, again ripped from the DVD.
Centrozoon
Imogen Heap
Jeff Wayne
Martin Barre
Muse
Orchestra Of The Age Of Enlightenment – not hippie sh*t, honest; it's Bach's 3rd Brandenburg Concerto.
Riverside
Robert Wyatt
Simon & Garfunkel
Snow Patrol
Symphony X – just three tracks from 'V', which is so overblown, it's hilarious. I rarely play these songs, but if I'm in a bad mood they can be relied upon to induce howls of laughter.
Sörskogen
The Verve
Thom Yorke

[Update 23/12/06: Thanks to Snafje's suggestion, two albums by The Gathering take the track count to 2504 on 283 albums (with a handful of other tracks by artists already listed).]
