I'm really enjoying the Fever Ray. It has a sound that's obviously related to the Knife's sound, but it's also it's own thing.
Thanks for the Perfume Tree link! I couldn't find "so far away" unfortunately. The link you provided had the lyrics, but I couldn't find a way to listen. I found "virgin" from the same album on you tube and listened. I can appreciate why you like them. I loved the eastern sound in that song. It had a soothing quality for me.
So, I've heard of Trip-Hop, but honestly I like what I like in music and am woefully inarticulate and uneducated about all it's categories and nuances. So, I asked my boyfriend, "Do I own or like any Trip-Hop?" lol I do own and like Massive Attack, and I'm informed that this would fall into the trip-hop category. I'm guessing that it would be among the most accessible and commercial of Trip-Hop probably?
While I was being educated by my boyfriend about various electronic music genre's he led me to this site: Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music. Ever been there? I'm finding it fascinating! I discovered an enjoyment of French Pop, especially the clips of Jean-Jacques Perrey's EVA. I think my true musical loves definitely lean toward the quirky pop.
Thank you so much for setting me off on an evening of exploration with your top 10. It's been so fun chatting with you.
Oh, do you know who did the art for the Leila album? I really liked that, but in a quick search couldn't find anything.
Well, more electronic trails to explore...
