Chill Tuesdays Playlist: 6-7-2011

Chillin' on a Tuesday night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a sample of the music I played last Tuesday.

 

 

 

 

1. Mysterons by Portishead:  Classic trip-hop from the album Dummy.   Beth Gibbens sings over a haunting groove reminiscent of fifties to early sixties sci-fi movies.

2.Witness Dub by Roots Manuva:  Mostly known as a British rapper, Roots delivers head-nodding dub.  

3. The Forgotten People by Thievery Corporation:  A cool song sounding as if it came straight from Bombay.  Actually, it’s by a group based in Washington DC.

4. Of Course,This Way Madame by Forbidden Ensemble:  From the album Porno Soundtracks Volume One, this funky instrumental takes you back to seventies porn .  Incidentally, seventies porn music partly inspired my chill nights.

5. Eple by Royksopp:  A space-age instrumental where one can either chill or dance to.

6. 6 Underground by Sneaker Pimps: Another  trip-hop classic with Kellie Dayton (now Kelli Ali) beautifully singing.

7. Christiansands by Tricky: From the king of trip-hop, another elegant funky number including the beautiful vocals of Martina Topley-Bird.
