Music Banter - View Single Post - aux-in's Collection: [The Electronic Continuum]

I'd put this next song as being in the same vein as "Prituri Se Planinata." It is a selection from Mt Eden, a New Zealand duo comprised of Jesse Cooper and Harley Rayner.

Mt Eden (ft. Freshlyground) - "Sierra Leone"

Although this is a remix, the original was created by Freshlyground, a South African Afro-fusion band hailing form Cape Town, South Africa. Their song is titled "I'd Like." I would personally write this up as Freshlyground - "I'd Like" [Mt Eden Remix], but that's just me. Mt Eden provides the entire song with pure, consistent bass, yet they keep the emotion of the original vocals intact. Interestingly, I'm not sure why Mt Eden called their remix "Sierra Leone," as that would indicate a geopolitical message of some sort. This isn't the case, as a political message is absent in the lyrics:

I'd like
What would you do if I kissed you?
What would you do if I held your hand and laid you down?
Would you find me overly unkind to you?
Would you call me insensitive, and say that I deserve to die?
What do I do with all these feelings tearing me up inside?
What do I do with all these wasted hours dreaming of you at night?
I' d like to call you sometime...

I.e., as best as I can tell, it's a love song.

Another one I like...

Mt Eden - "Still Alive"

[Vocalist: Lisa Miskovsky]

This was an earlier release when they called themselves Mt Eden Dubstep. The original, by Lisa Miskovsky, was used as the theme song in the Xbox 360 game "Mirror's Edge." The Mt Eden Dubstep remix is a slow, ambient, drifty jam which proved to be fairly popular with over 45 million YouTube views. Technically, it could be titled Lisa Miskovsky - "Still Alive" [Mt Eden Dubstep Remix].

One other song I sort of like from Mt Eden is "Airwalker," although that one is a bit rougher to get through.
