Where you in London, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, on January 29, 2008, Jams?
Daniel Barenboim was playing Beethoven's Sonatas right next to Robyn. Both audiences were ecstatic. To each its own...
Satellite might be a bit difficult to a first time listener. Quite far out sexy lyrics. The music got rhythm...What I like is it doesn't bang bang like some other bands. But then, you offered Robyn a few times before. And I enjoy hearing an artist more than once.
Levitating satellite?

ReplyDeleteGoodness that sounds awful. An almost one note shouty voice (though the music that the voice was ruining sounds ok). People have different tastes eh?.
ReplyDeleteApologies. I was wrong. I listened again and decided that the music was pretty awful too :)
ReplyDeleteBah Andrew!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Some people said Ravel's Boléro was awful when it was first heard. Actually, some people still say it's awful.

I was there Claude and a fine concert it was.. Robyn that is. I am sure that the Barenboim concert was superb too
