I’ve been searching for music for my wife. She says she’s sick of everything and really tired of the my technocratic rule of blinding electro and heavily strobed dance music.
These songs have been around a minute already but they meet the criteria set by my lovely. She wants music with changes (ie. more complex song structure than the usual 16-bar measure repetion) and most of all, she wants “music with words.” Strobed vocal samples give her seizures - that’s what she tells me anyway. ha. Lately I’ve been totally wrong, but maybe she’ll like HURCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR.
MP3: Hercules and Love Affair - Blind
When my wife was in Japan she picked up a Frankie Knuckles mixtape. Although this next one is a dub, I hope she likes it all the same.

Coincidentally, this new one from IMMUZIKATION arrived this weekend as well. Generally mashups are vetoed altoghether but this one’s so smooth it’s hard to tell there are two tracks making up the one.

BONUS
It’s funny, she says I used to listen to better music but really, I still listen to the same kind of music. Production techniques have changed quite a bit over the years which accounts for some differences in the way dance music sounds now. Really though, it’s still similar. As we drove out of the city for a weekend retreat on Saturday she played a CD she burned in the summer of 2006. On it was this gem, one of the last tracks my wife says we both liked.

I’m totally with you. That’s a great remix. And with you’re other music, she’ll probably tell you she likes it if you just play it for her in a couple weeks after she forgets about it. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.
