I thought I would finally have a go at one of these so here we go :

Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo : Orchestra of Bologna Municop Thetra
The opening music to the Scorcese classic Raging Bull. If I had this playing in my head 24/7, I still dont thin I would get sick of it.
Fifty Five Falls : Marissa Nadler
Too much emphasis was put on the word 'haunting' in reviews I read for this for me to really judge it fairly. But after hearing it for myself, I can see why it is referred to as so.
Marcus Garvey : Burning Spear
A fine start to the finest reggae album ever.
The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore : The Walker Brothers
Spector style production, baritone vocals and an almost ironic major key.
Fastlove : George Michael
Yes that's right. Possibly the finest pop song of the last 20 years. Beautiful production, around 5 different memorable hooks. If you're dubious about George, begin here.
Lazy : X-Press 2
'A moment' as it is described at the end of the song. David Byrne <3, rly.
St. Elmo's Fire : Brian Eno
My opening into the world of Eno, I hope it will act as someone elses.
Death (Crystal Castles Remix) : White Lies
I have no real love for either of these acts, yet this song seems to really in it's grip.
Untrue : Burial
Slowing down the set with some groggy, gritty dubstep is always a good move.
Tuj la Kompanar' (Les Copains d'Abord) : Georges Brassens
Never heard Chanson? it's about time you did.
