I haven't thought of these guys in years...thanks for the reminder.

 

This is my favorite from them:

 

There is an ambient introduction (creepy good for Halloween) which starts to transition into a more choral and orchestrated ambiance at 1:00 to about 1:30 where it starts a very big build up to the pop pay-off at 2:40.  This piece does a lot like what Trance music does..it builds and builds to accentuate the hook when it finally arrives.  Without the build, the hook has a million percent less impact.  So at minimum, please listen from 2:30 to 3:17...this willl give you a bit of the build and the first statement of the pop theme (the hook).  From here it goes through another building transition to restate the hook again at 4:22 and carries on rather dramatically to the end.

Just for grins, here is a live version...kinda cool to see them play it, even though it sounds better in the studio.

I know..it's a double post but this is such a good song too.  Thanks so much smoky for the reminder.  I love this song too and haven't played it years.  "Evil Woman" is going into my monthly rotation. It is pretty much a straight forward pop tune with a very short intro that is a transition from the previous song on the album (when some albums were one musical concept)

 

This song reminds of the stereo being cranked up, sitting on the floor of a shower room with my drummer girlfriend in Guadalajara, and playing the drum beats and accents with our hands on the wet floor in perfect sync without ever playing it together before.  Splash splash, crack, boom, splash, pop, slap, splash. Weird magic.

This is the full album (it's quite good for stem to stern) but Evil Woman should be the song that comes up when you hit play.  If it buggers up just go to the start at 9:40 manually.

Björk...hard to classify.  This song somehow reminds me of a Broadway tune.  I like it...it's very Björk.

 

I first heard of Björk via The Sugarcubes.  I must admit when I first heard them I didn't care much for them, but as I have gotten older and possibly wiser, I like much of what they did back in the day and what Björk has done since on her own.  She is definitely one of a kind.  Great post, thanks.

yet another absolutely brilliant track from E.L.O

found once again this amazing trailer from the earlier days of Tanki :blush:

the reason that I like this trailer is for various reasons, but mostly because it was probably the first trailer of the game (before having the '2009' trailer, which was actually made in 2011) and because the song used in this video introduced me to The Prodigy, it feels nice to have two favourite things mixed together (the same as the pendulum remix of voodoo people)

 

 

 

Tanks didn't blow up!  They just flipped over or around...wow.  Now there are so many very questionable changes to what used to be a very simple game.  I must say the blow-up/destruction graphics were an improvement :)

Did someone post this here already?  I don't know why I know this song or how I found it...was it here?...was it just an accident?  Did my daughter show me this song/video?  Anyway it's posted here now and if it was on this forum previously, it's grown on me since it was posted...I'm so confused.

Hey, that is actually not bad. I had previously only heard of K.Flay on those popular NCS tracks and never really thought her solo work would be any more interesting, definitely a positive surprise.

 

And oh, Glad you like Björk too. I think she has a really unique gift for making music that is at the same time challenging and captivating.

COOL!...that sailboat in the video at 0:15...I used to own one of those in Hawaii !!!  It was actually a very unique boat, one of only nine ever built.  It is a Cheoy Lee 36' Vampire Yawl. and was built around 1966 (wood boat...teak).  It's a Luders design and there were similar boats built, but with a ketch or sloop rig instead of the more traditional yawl rig.  

 

It's shocking to see one with Brigitte Bardot standing on the stern...so glamorous as opposed to my experience with the boat which was more involved with varnishing brightwork, the bilge, chasing dry rot, the diesel, varnishing, caulking, did I mention varnishing?
