Eden - Hooverphonic
Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
I discovered Hooverphonic through RP, and it's always good to hear their music. I highly recommend the oddly named album from which this track is taken.
And yes, I've heard the Sara Brightman version of Eden as well, but while I do like it, personally I prefer the Hooverphonic version.

Not sure you are right : both permanent members Rob Garza and Eric Hilton grew up in Maryland, and TC was created in Wash. DC according to the biography of their own website. They are neither Icelandic nor French.
The message concerned actually referred to another band, Sigur Ros, not Thievery Corporation.
How to Be Invisible - Kate Bush

Cool cut. Gets an 8 from me.
Roads - Portishead
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
Simply beautiful.
Sixty Years On - Elton John
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
Who would have thought it? A cool song from Elton John!
Nobody's Man - Tina Dickow
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
Simply beautiful. And I don't just mean Ms Dico...
Growing Up - Peter Gabriel
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
Well, I'm English, and I really liked this track! I haven't paid much attention to Peter Gabriel since he left Genesis (showing my age, I know), but based on this track I'd like to hear more of his recent work.

Now if we can only get Arriving Somewhere.....
...but Never Here. Well, not so far, anyway

Save Me - k.d. lang
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
Yes, a beautiful album, albeit rather a short one. A shame Ms Lang has never quite managed to match it subsequently.
Even Less - Porcupine Tree
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
More stunning music from Porcupine Tree. I join the queue of people eternally in debt to RP for introducing me to this band.

NickWeather With You - Crowded House
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
A classic, but personally the other songs on this album don't do much for me.
You Don’t Know You’re Born - Mark Knopfler
Posted 18 years ago by NikkD:
Very nice.
The Sea - Morcheeba
Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
First heard this song a few years ago in Greece, lying on a sunbed beside a hotel swimming pool. Just perfect summer listening... 
We Subside - The Pineapple Thief
Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
I bought this CD on the strength of hearing Pineapple Thief on RP. There are some beautiful tracks on it, but the overall effect can be a little repetitive at times. I would also agree that the vocals (and indeed lyrics) are not Pineapple Thief's strongest point. My favorite tracks on this CD are the instrumental ones.
Still, this is a worthy track - I give it a 7!

Jolene - Mindy Smith
Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
Pleasant enough. Personally I prefer it to Dolly's version. Seems a strange choice to cover, though.
Stars Die - Porcupine Tree
Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
Awesome. My first ever ten!
Season of the Witch - Donovan

Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
Very nice (though not at all scary!).

Haven't seen the usage anywhere else, save this song.
Sir Winston Churchill, Britain's WW2 Prime Minister, used to suffer from spells of deep depression, which he called his 'Black Dog'. Not sure if he first coined the expression.
The Road - The Cardigans
Posted 19 years ago by NikkD:
This grew on me as I listened to it. Rather beautiful, I thought.
