Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche

I spent the best part of yesterday working on my music archive. When you have as much music as I do it all has to be meticulously labeled and organized or you just can't find anything when you need it. I suppose I haven't quite reported about Cuba yet... so I'll try to sum it up in these few words:

Hola mojito, una cerveza por favor, dos agua, fiesta siesta, cuba libre, tequila boom boom, purple rain train, muy caliente, turkey vulture, sugar cane, pineapple, ham & cheese, salty barrages, over-juiced mermaids, fondo blanco, quieren tocarme, cohiba, senorita, muchacho, muchos gracias, buenos noches, feliz cumpleanos, adios amigos, viva la revolucion!

This is a stunning video titled "The Mountain", put together from time-lapse photography by Terje Sorgjerd and music by Ludovico Einaudi. I was just going to link to it, but it's so amazing I thought I'd just feature it instead. There's another 6 minute version of it here to different music, but it's just the same video looped twice. I highly recommend putting this on HD and full-screening it.
