I've never understood the love for this track. I believe someone once described it (accurately, I think) as the sort of music that might play at a spa.

I call it the type of music that plays at a Bowen therapy clinic, and I'm absolutely, undoubtedly, without-question right. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the lesser TUF b-sides, for sure.

Heaven forbid music be beautiful, ethereal, relaxing, and stunningly atmospheric.

 

[Scorpionac]

Heaven did forbid all that, didn't it? =p
Listening to it again...I just think the melody is incredibly corny.

You have the oddest definition of 'corny' I have ever encountered.

 

[bono_212]

You have the oddest definition of 'corny' I have ever encountered.

Agreed It breaks my heart that Bon-Bon shares the sentiment.

It's hard to narrow it down to 10, honestly. And that's without counting Passengers.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Agreed It breaks my heart that Bon-Bon shares the sentiment.

I'm awfully sorry Ashley, but I don't listen to AM radio.

 

[Axver]

I'd start listening to AM radio if they played quality instrumentals like Bass Trap.

[digitize]

Heaven forbid music be beautiful, ethereal, relaxing, and stunningly atmospheric.

I personally think every track on Original Soundtracks 1 would beat Bass Trap in that regard.

 

[Axver]

I personally think every track on Original Soundtracks 1 would beat Bass Trap in that regard.

I consider Bass Trap and Beach Sequence about equal.

That tenth spot in my top ten is not firmly fixed. Gloria, Treasure, Spanish Eyes, Luminous Times, and Beach Sequence are all candidates for it as well as Bass Trap. I'm in a Bass Trap mood at the moment, though. Such a great shimmery ethereal sound.

 

[adypole]

where the streets have no name
moment of surrender
unknown caller
acrobat
until the end of the world
mofo
bullet the blue sky
lady with the spinning head
do you feel loved
no line on the horizon


I simply cannot order them. However, I think my top 3 are:

where the streets have no name
mofo
moment of surrender

yes, I lurv lurv lurv mofo.

 

[AtomicBono]
