Inga Humpe - Moon

There's a TV commercial I remember really liking as a kid. I don't remember what the commercial was for, but in it there was an image of a very big moon above a house on a lake at night, and all the lights were on in the house and there was some kind of dinner party in progress. There may have also been classical music playing. This song is the closest I've come to recapturing the feeling of that commercial.

Written by Inga Humpe. Produced, programmed and Mixed by Fischerman's Friend & Thomas Fehlmann at Love Park Studio, Berlin. 

Je Demain - L'Hiver Au Bord De La Mer

Special thanks to TV Disko for the tip on this one. Lordy, we haven't posted any hibernian French synth-pop this frothy since Mikado. Read an interview (in French) with Je Demain here. Have a spacious New Year.

Thomas Dolby - Ravivar Fiore

Nick Holder - Summer Daze

Peter Gabriel: Disturbed (alternate take)

When this soundtrack came out there were many nights I would put this on before bed. For years I had no desire to see The Last Temptation of Christ for fear that it would spoil the music, no matter how great the director.

I wonder how many soundtracks are actually better than the films they represent?

Angelo Badalamenti: The Nightingale

Music from Twin Peaks. Vocals by Julee Cruise, lyrics by David Lynch.

Boy George - Girlfriend

Thanks to Ted for the tip on this barnburner. I've no time for Google Image Search today... open your mind and let the pictures come.

3rd Bass: Brooklyn-Queens

Can you believe that it's been twenty years since The Cactus Album? Where's the remastered anniversary edition? I was listening to this CD recently - these guys really didn't like MC Hammer. So here, from my dusty music collection to your ears, is some late 80s hip hop, with some "Best of My Love" sampling. Running man, anyone? Enjoy.

Aside: Prime Minister (Sinister) Pete Nice now co-owns a bar in Boston with a member of the Dropkick Murphys. It looks terrible.

Camper Van Beethoven - When I Win the Lottery

Electronic - Getting Away With It

Outside Page, AZ

Julee Cruise - Falling

Phish: Split Open and Melt

Pat Metheny Group - Slip Away

I'm slipping away for a little holiday in the sun. Back Monday. Wishing all the listeners out there a spacious Thanksgiving.

BONUS BELLS

Lou Reed: Good Evening Mr. Waldheim [1989]

You won't be missed.

Buy New York here.

The Cure: Fascination Street [1989]

The instrumental opening is built upon sonic layers of jamming and sound effects, the volume getting louder and louder in the mix, until the vocal comes in at the halfway point. Personally, one of the coolest intros to any song. The mixing on this is as good as anything you'll ever here. Guitar by Porl Thompson.
