"Today"
One of the unsung bands of the 90's. I forget just how good they were.
That band's best album.

I love Beth Gibbons voice... and this song. Very haunting song and trip-hop at its finest (well, along with Hooverphonic and Massive Attack, anyway).
I used to own Dummy. But thank goodness I've got my favorite tunes from that CD down on various burns. My favorite from that album is "It's a Fire". No other song on that CD can touch it, really. "Roads" comes close. And the lyrics to "Glory Box" are excellent.

Massive Attack plus Portishead equals... beautiful trip-hop song. (: Everyone should listen to this song. It's almost life-changing.

Well, perhaps not quite
LIFE-CHANGING (though I first heard it in a turning point in my life... in a stupid flash animation of all places!) but it's beautiful regardless.
That's an amazing album. I have that song on CD, and I've listened to that song more times than I casually care to admit.

The Sneaker Pimp's rendition of Willow's song from The Wicker Man. Awesome cover. <3
THAT'S WHERE THAT QUOTE AT THE BEGINNING IS FROM?!! I never knew. "Sargeant..." I haven't seen Wicker Man yet. Wow...

Ethereal trip-hop. This album isn't nearly as good as their debut (A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular) but it's still pretty good. Some songs in BWPM have downright atrocious lyrics, though, even though the music itself is good.
Oh I know, like "One Way Ride" (yuck!). But I adore this song (ESF) so much!! Though I hope if you have this CD, you get the extra hidden song, the title track. There's another version of this CD where the bonus track is different, "Neon". I have both, but I downloaded "Neon".

That album is KILLER. And I'm not really much a fan of pop. In fact, I have ONE burned CD containing my only favorite pop songs of the past 6 years (1999-2004). However, with Stefani's amazing "What You Waiting For?" I had to own her whole album. I do now, it's sitting next to me right now, and you can bet it will be played later today.

Track: Whipping Tree
Album: Come Down
You've got me / all tied up to the whipping tree.
Every time I hear this song it makes me want to cry. o.o;
I did not like that album the first time I listened to it. The first songs were too thick and heavy for me. But, I still love that single "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth". And "Whipping Tree" is jaw-dropping, incredible, there ARE NO words to describe it of course. But the song on that album that kills me, and I love it, it's one of my favorite songs of all-time- "Good Morning". I love to turn that one on in my car and phase out. I don't have that CD anymore, nor that song anywhere on my burned CDs but I might pick that CD up again soon. Also, "Orange" is another great song. WOW, that is a great CD!
