I get the chills every time I hear this song. Love this band and love Hope Sandoval's beautiful voice, so this is a solid 9 for me.

I gave this an 8, but then as the base line made its entrance I got a shiver down my spine.
Now its a 9.

discounting the video...i really find this song incredibly mesmerizing and extremely hot for some reason. the album cover creeps me out totally, though.

LOL ... Just walked into the house from working in the garage and thought my wife had turned of RP and was watching Luther on Netflix.  Kinda figured this song would be RP material.

Er... nope. Not for me!  Too much wub wub wub and what have you.  This version is much, much better!  No heavy is needed.

I've been re-watching Seasons 3 & 4 of True Blood, gearing up for the premiere of Season 5 — and forgot this song was used to great effect in episode 4 titled "9 Crimes" (when Bill goes to a strip club to procure "dinner" for Russell and Lorena).

Wow, I was just going to say that this song is the theme from the BBC show Luther which is great, and there it is in the last comment.

Yes, it is! I just started watching Luther on Netflix this weekend and ended up watching 5 episodes, including 3 back-to-back just before I went to bed last night. Great show, great song.

Fred, I can relate to what you mention about the Catholic upbringing and the culture of guilt involved with it, but the human construct of Sin, and the means of guilt related to it, long predate Christianity.  Ask some Jewish, stand-up comedians about the culture of guilt.  Good song by the way.

This song is so quirky and weird. It reminds me of a scene from "Alien From L.A." (yeah, that dismal Kathy Ireland sci-fi travesty - but it was so bad it was funny, and I love it) where her character and that of her "rescuer" are sitting in what passes for a restaurant. There are dancers performing, and the dance is so weird and choppy, and I can almost picture them dancing to this music.

No, I'm not nuts.  Well, okay, maybe a little.  I loved the Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows" reference to "Pump Up the Volume." I CAN mix my media. Trouble is, usually when I do it, people think I'm nuts. (What do the movies "Crocodile Dundee II," "Pretty Woman," and "Adventures in Babysitting" have in common?) And no fair Googling.

Have fun, folks! {#Mrgreen}

Curious, since the Catholic presence in South America (and maybe Yorkshire) didn't seem to slow down the birth rate any. Sorry, I get your point but couldn't resist the MP reference opportunity.

And here i am a VERY happy man for being a non-believer... Imagine that...

We're just organisms founded by nature and we're doing what we are designed for, surviving and breeding. It just so happens were intelligent enough to let ourselves believe there is "something" or "someone" above.... But not for me, when i die, i believe, it stops.... No heaven, no hell, just the end of an organism, the way nature works, the same as a fly or the same as a fish, it stops there....

But hey, that's just my perspective on things...
As for this song, it has a certain atmosphere and it always gets my full attention...

If this is what you think you obviously know very little about Christian beliefs.

How is this trend of "bands" that are actually songwriters with a revolving cast of awesome singing talent?  A few years ago I was noticing how it seemed to be trending up, but how's it been lately?  Any new examples?  The classic that got me noticing it was Zero 7, but it applied to quite a few bands at the time.  I ask because it seems like a really good way to find solidly good music.
 
The Chrystal Method and The Chemical Brothers both do this with success.
