That sums up why Pandora does not work for me. |
| krec (France Paris) | Posted: Mar 08, 2012 - 14:06 Good hypnotic bass ! |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Mar 01, 2012 - 12:28 "downtempo", eh?
Officer, I was adjusting the volume on my downtempo music.... |
| bluecshells (EARTH) | Posted: Nov 23, 2011 - 08:36 Very nice...love the strings! |
| zeelandhills | Posted: Jun 29, 2011 - 22:19 really liked. |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Feb 23, 2011 - 16:08 I always think this is Hooverphonic (which is a good thing) — and I guess from reading the comments, I am "..not alone..."! |
| nalle (Malmo, Sweden) | Posted: Dec 01, 2010 - 11:55 A great cover and nothing more. |
| gormeister (Commonwealth of Virginia) | Posted: Oct 16, 2010 - 15:48 very nice. |
| sarahurban | Posted: Oct 16, 2010 - 14:38 I *love* this song. It's sexy and relaxing. I listen to it while riding my bike on a beautiful day (lots of them here in hot Houston) and contemplating my fit in the world among the bunnies, deer, and armadillos. And when I welcome my friend from Europe back to his homeland of America in five days, it will be played in the middle of the night. |

This is a fine example of the sub-genre of electronic music referred to as Downtempo. It's closely related to trip-hop, so despite not knowing wtf it is, you've shown that you recognize some elements of it! :) |
| Huey (Netherlands) | Posted: Sep 03, 2010 - 10:58 caught them again > 8 |
| Huey (Netherlands) | Posted: Sep 02, 2010 - 00:27 Caught my ear...nice. 7. |

The incredibly eclectic and brilliant album Escalator Over the Hill, by Carla Bley and an amazingly broad selection of musicians has a song by this name. Any band with this as an influence has got to be rather unique. Among the performances on this album are several guitar pieces by John McLaughlin that are about as powerful as any guitar solos anywhere. This is as obscure as compositions go, these days, but if the combination of Jack Bruce, Chalie Haden, Linda Ronstadt, Gato Barbieri, and way too many others sounds intriguing, it's worth checking out. Not easy listening, but where's the fun in that? Thank you... |
| phlattop | Posted: Aug 17, 2010 - 21:54 Liking this. The guitar before the vocals reminds me a lot of Avalon era Roxy Music. |
| Anax (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 17:49 Nice. I'd program it between God is an Astronaut and Apocalyptica. |

| G_Raffa (How far is all the way?) | Posted: Apr 01, 2010 - 14:39 Nice! Never heard them before. Very Air-y. |

| coding_to_music (Beantown) | Posted: Mar 23, 2010 - 18:16 Great |
| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Mar 23, 2010 - 18:03 This followed JA "Somebody to Love" and if one suspends one's sense of reason for a moment at the beginning, it sounds a bit like Jefferson Airplane and "The Ventures in Space" updated a bit. To me, anyway! |
| On_The_Beach (Vancouver BC, Bud) | Posted: Mar 23, 2010 - 18:02 Music to float weightlessly over a field of daisies by. |
