Another 2001 dance classic. Daft Punk was on top of the charts when this was released. And still, after 15 years, i can’t resist singing out loud when the song hits the radio. Still can’t get the words exactly right though…
Ok. There has to be a first for everything. And to be honest, this is the first Nick Cave album i like. Really like. Like, reaaaally like. To be fair, i never really gave it a chance. Nick Cave was responsible for one of the songs i hated most (“Where The Wild Roses Grow” with Kylie Monigue). I hated this song from the bottom of my heart and ever since i could not get myself to listen to other Nick Cave material. Until now. I came across the new “Skeleton Tree” album and love it from front to back. Favourites are “I Need You”, “Girl in Amber” and “Distant Sky”. When u listen, please be advised, this is not music to cheer you up. It’s sad, it’s emotional, it’s beautiful.
Good dance music doesn’t get old! Remember this huge hit in 2001? With that great video? I can tell you, the video got heart.
Great dance track from The Chemical Brothers feat. Beck from their 2015 album “Born In The Echoes. It comes whit a beautiful video. Make sure you check it out!
An old favourite from The Chemical Brothers is Galvanize. Don’t hold back!!!
