I was working until the call came in--FREE HAM AND EGGS! I rushed over, but there was nothing. Nothing!

These guys have been listening to early Brian Eno. For sure. At least until the disco beat starts up anyway

It is the same woman, it's taken out of a Joni Mitchel (?) interview... Or another female singer/songwriter from that era...

I really like this, love all the little rhythms/sounds going on and love the ethereal vocals (even though I have no clue what it's about). Makes me wish I was living in Indonesia again, cruising through the palm trees/rice paddies in the thick warm tropical night with a sky full of stars...

Now that we have that one cleared up, the next burning question is: is it "P Loafmaster" or "ploaf master"? ;-)

I applaud your applause of freely commenting. I do not, however, applaud this song. It offers nearly nothing palatable, and normally I'm a sucker for anything with a Latin groove. Lo siento mucho.


Heh heh heh...it's PLOAF master. And as for what the heck a PLOAF is, I believe I posted a rather inane journal entry about it some time back, if you want to check it out...

Isn't it the same sample? I wasn't listening too closely, but it sounded like it was...

With this and other negative commenters, I mostly agree. But parts of the song I kind of like, the parts with a good drumbeat.

For me it is a mix of bad and good, and that creates an internal conflict!

What I don't like are the sound of crows or some other birds, the screechy parts of vocals, and the "tranciness"--Is that a word?

And would someone please tell me whether "shoegazer" is the very same thing as "trance" music?????

gee. I distinctly hear an "s" in there before the "wonna, wonna". <-X :nodhead:

I bought me some Banco de Gaia CDs after hearing them here and at SomaFM


Apparently there wasn't a chorus in that song - or at least no words to it - see here...
