I've always liked this song; though I'm not quite sure why, other than certain memories of the first time I heard it. I like the ethereal quality and drum machines generally don't bother me either. It's apparently not for everybody though.

A quick google search revealed that it was the other way around. It is disappointing, but I still like her music. Even with that, I still think the RP audience deserves to hear Kanno's Inner Universe and Tank! back to back. :-) |

Funny you should mention it.
Anime OST composer Yoko Kanno lifted this track almost in its entirety and added it to the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex soundtrack.
Can't say the series is particularily Cheesy though. Its stuffed with great action and a complex plot.
But I am pretty disapointed that she did not present the original creators of the work.
/edit/ Funny that someone else thought of writing an almost identical response. ;)

When 2wicky and the album a new stereophonic sound spectacular were originally released (96/97), the band was still called Hoover. Later they had to change their name for legal reasons. They then named themselves after the imaginary sound recording system they used for the first album (see bottom of original cover).

Yeah, ya know, I'd really like it if it weren't for some of the casio sounding drum machine bits.

I have to admit this rates highly on my snooze-ometer
sometimes strings and electronics work
sometimes they just don't
like this for example

I agree. I like Hooverphonic, but the vocals on this one just aren't meshing with everything else. It's almost like she's a little flat? Maybe it will grow on me. |

I think the background strings are from Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). Well worth a listen if you're into sorrowful classical music.
Try Dawn Upshaw's performance of Gorecki music:
