Loving this Gorillaz’s esque hip-hop track from Massive Attack’s ep, “Splitting The Atom”, that sounds quite freaky.
Massive Attack – Splitting The Atom (Ft. The 3D, Daddy G, and Horace Andy)
Malcolm Mclaren – About Her
Since I can’t say this any better, so I’ll let wikipedia take it from here:
His song “About Her”, based on “She’s Not There” by The Zombies, rose to prominence when used by director Quentin Tarantino in Kill Bill Vol. 2. He was accused of plagiarism for this song in 2005 for allegedly copying the work of a French musician, but was cleared of the charges in November 2005 when the court in Angers, France threw out the case[1]. The song uses Esther Bigeou’s “St. Louis Blues” by repeatedly playing the verse, “My man’s got a heart like a rock cast in the sea.”
This track is, to me, is very Trip Hop. Hence my for love it!
And of course the classic Malcome Mclaren track, Buffalo Gals:
Sneaker Pimps – Sick
This track can be found on their 3rd Studio album, back in 2002. Have to say, this track always makes it on my compilations cd’s as well as my regular ipod playlist. The track has a little funk and trip hop soul in there with some modern tones. Vocalist Chris Corner was rumored to be working on a new Sneaker Pimps album, but most tracks made it to his 2009 album under his moniker of “IAMX”.
