Interestingly enough, I find that this reminds me of easy-listening music. [/b]
Okay, I can see Portishead filed under easy listening, but Massive Attack? They’re just too dark a band to go there. Maybe “uneasy listening?” [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, it’s been used in just about everything. Movies, TV…For a while there, it was impossible to get away from.

Yeah, there is a definite Angelo Badalamenti influence there, but I’ve always heard more Ennio Morricone, especially the film scores he did in the late ’60s. Even the “Spaghetti Western” stuff. But that’s just me. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
quote[quote][b] [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] My reaction so far is this stuff would make wonderful love-making music. I don’t think I’d choose it for much more; color me boring. Well, off to discover the rest of this stuff. [/b][/quote]
Oh, I can see it as good for that. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] But for me, it’s also good driving-around-late-at-night music and good…umm…partaking-in-illicit-substances music.
I’m curious to see what you make of Tricky now that you’ve heard this. In my eyes, Tricky’s music is damn near claustrophobia-inducing. Very strange.–Aleck
