same ol' cliche: i had a crush on a boy awhile ago and made him a tape.
note: the reason portishead is on it so many times is because he hadn't even heard of them! obviously, i needed to fix that.

Track Description:
although it takes a little while for the beat to come in, this is a great track to start side B with: it's more lively than "dig this vibe" which ended side A of the tape, so it wakes the listener up a little; plus it has a great beat. SHOW LESS

Track 8 from Verve Remixed
Length: 00:04:49 Year: 2002 |
|
|
Track Description:
the verve remixed series are the final products of a great concept: taking classic jazz tracks and having modern electronica artists remix them. the track i chose has billie holiday's gorgeous vocals with a very bassy loop and triphop and indian influenced beats. towards the end, around 2:41, the remixers take her vocals and cut it up to make this very beautiful phrase of jibberish. brilliant.
