It's OK I like any song which tends to modulate through a series of keys, this song is OK, but it tends to be quite repetitive

it's good to try... but the lame keyboard and dopey drums make it hopeless.

Surely you must be right, but I can't think of one at the moment.
Excellent track in any case. |

 Yeah, buzz, when are you and Jrzy gonna start giving back to RP? Huh?

Good intellectual groove goin on this a.m.
nice mix is stimulating the creative side, & since I'm designing layouts for a magazine, is quite excellent.
Nice set Bill.

lovin' this rendition. we still have the haunting voice of dido with the definitive modern beat. loneliness and modernity go hand in hand.
here's to the sweet pain of lost love...

In first year of music school my history prof referred to Dido's Lament as "When I am Laid". So I have dirty thoughts whenever I hear the tune, despite knowing its real meaning.

I couldn't agree with you more; There seems to be a terrible contemporary trend to "sample" (steal) music from others more gifted and accomplished, and then degrade it with electronic/computer effects. Dido's lament is infinitely better when performed as Purcell intended. |

This kind of reminds me of the performance by the diva in the movie The Fifth Element, which I thought was quite good. Once you got past the funky alien costume, Maïwenn Le Bescoshe, who played the Diva Plavalaguna, really had quite a good voice...
JMHO, YMMV
DOH! Didn't read the thread before posting... :iamwith:

Why do I like this song so much? Not only is the vocal fantastic (if you're old enough to appreciate opera) but the hypnotic xylophone riff blended flawlwssly with the strings, electronhic rythm and voice. It's definately TRANCEndental. |
