Tonight You Belong To Me [take two]
Although, we’re apart. You’re a part of my heart. And tonight you belong to me.
Do you remember?
You really have to dig down deep into your geek cred to get this one. In fact, you may have grown out of liking this, but you, in your inner little geek, have to admit that Macross was awesome. You’ve grown up and may have missed Macross F from which she was the “Minmei.” Now that, you’ve got to admit is awesome.
Resolution
We are done. The album ends on my favorite tune. You should hear the remix. Thievery did release a remix of some of the songs on this album. Get it as well. Or maybe that will be the next album for a fusillade of music.
Until The Morning Comes
One thing about digital delivery of music: no liner notes. There’s nothing to read to figure out who the singer was, who wrote the song, or where they sampled the loop. Nothing. Like for this song, who’s singing? Is it the same girl from the opening tune? Or is it a whole different person? I would like to know and I am too lazy to check it out on the CD or duckduckgo it.
The State of the Union
We’re almost done. I hope you’ve been enjoying the morning music break. I like that you’ve shared in my favorite album. Thanks for listening. We just have a couple of songs to good. Stay tuned. We’re just getting to the good stuff.
Liberation Front
I came up with this game that I used to play with Margaux (Or maybe I didn’t play this game with her, but I did come up with a game). It was centered around bands, their discography, and your own knowledge of. You were to think of a band and focus on their songs. Once you focused on a band, you would say, “You know {insert band name here}. No, their other song.” That should conjure up which song you’re talking about amongst the players. Most of the time you know which song is being thought about, but other times, depending on the band, it becomes difficult.
I came up with this game because of Cold Play. “You know Cold Play. No, their other song.” I bet you now know which song I am talking about.
The Richest Man In Babylon
We turn the corner and get to the home stretch of the album, several songs that are some of Thievery Corporations best. It starts with the title track, The Richest Man in Babylon. Once here, the album moves to its great conclusion. Stick around, it’ll only get better.
From Creation
I’m left to wonder how close these songs ripped an posted to YouTube are to the one on the original CD. This version sounds slightly sped up. A check on iTunes finds it 6 seconds shorter. Now I wonder if all the other tunes from this album have been altered from the original. That’s okay. As long as it moves your soul I’ll take it. Good music is good music.
