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:

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”.

Ruby – Hoops

Going back to the crates on this one, back in 1995 when electronica started to get darker and edgier came along Ruby. They had a great first outing with their debut release, “Salt Peter”. Ruby was the partnership of Lesley Rankine and Mark Walk. Lesley is currently on hiatus in her home country of Scotland, while Mark Walk currently resides in LA and is producing music for TV and Film. I hope Lesley will return and grace us with her vocals on some much needed new tunes. I can’t tell you home many times I listened to “Salt Peter” on CD. Lesley has a certain Growl to her voice that just cuts.
