Battersea how it is
It's over forget
Memories full of chocolate
I've got to get over it forget
Your world is different than mine
I've got to get over I've got to forget
And "sgurd" is the one I don't like
I'm afraid of him I've got to forget
Knocking on the blue water
It's over forget
Praline and chocolate ice
Got to get over, forget
Your world doesn't match with mine
I've got to get over I've got to forget
And "sgurd" rules your friend's life
I'm afraid of him I've got to forget
| Proclivities (NC) | Posted: Dec 12, 2008 - 13:43 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. |

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 that. This song has been plagiarized by an anime composer named Yoko Kanno. Google battersea yoko kanno for details. |

Here's the album.(click here) 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).  |
| Ranaeph (Minneapolis, MN) | Posted: Jul 05, 2007 - 14:51 Yeah, ya know, I'd really like it if it weren't for some of the casio sounding drum machine bits. |

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. |

louise rhodes vocals, Andrew Barlow drums & bass ... their tune Gorecki isn't borrowed from the Polish genius, but is inspired by him. That track and several others on their self-titled and only disc are very satisfying. Yeah, Lamb were the best of the "trip-hop" wave in the mid-90s. |

Couldn't agree more. Typical formula, throw in as much crap as you can and pretend you're "progressive" or "trendy" or whatever adjective you'd like to use. It's a bit like inbreeding, all you get is retarded children. |

You're absolutely right, my mistake! While I can't claim to be ga-ga over this tune, if I found the disc in the bargain bin I'd probably buy it for a few listens. |
