Billie Ray Martin sync listen + lucious BRM chat!

[ButterTart]

PROBABLY BILLIE RAY MARTIN!

So poor she has to suffer the indignity of a CO-OP funeral. Snap her in two, stuff her in a breadbin and chuck it in a landfill

 

[COB]

This is JUST the sort of sadbanger I'm in the mood for tonight

 

[jyxz]

the cowboy hat outfit always makes me think of Daphne (or Celeste)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Still Waters (1995)

Finally, onto Deadline For My Memories, this wasn't a single, but I absolutely ADORE IT.

 

[funky]

Still Waters is working for me obviously. I live for this sort of heavy melodic shit.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is already a success @Ag. Really enjoying every song so far

I BRING YOU THE GOODS!

 

[ButterTart]

I've never heard Honey while pilled up but I can imagine it's emotionally ruinous.

oh I HAVE.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's just stunning. Change of pace, but absolutely fantastic.

 

[funky]

Faithless would do stuff like this on their albums, bring it down between the full force anthems but keep it melodic and atmospheric. Reminds me of them.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

There is a vocal SURGE towards the end, which MAY HARM.

just had it, nearly fell off the bed.

I can never work out if she was influential, influenced or JUST THERE.

 

[ButterTart]

oh I HAVE.

Fully in the mood to drop and try to survive the Chicane misery trifecta of Honey, Autumn Tactics and No Ordinary Morning.

 

[Jark]

Still Waters is ludicrously mid 90s. that percussive rhythm that's a bit trip hop-adjacent, the ocean of reverb, the melancholic melodies... it's lush!

 

[Penelope]

Sumptuously rolling in fresh silk sheets and eating sensuously creamy strawberry Activia yogurt to this decadent hot shit

 

[COB]

I've heard this before! Not sure WHERE, but still.

 

[Penelope]

(okay they're not silk they're just cotton but I had to PAINT A LANDSCAPE)

 

[COB]

It's absolutely gorgeous

 

[Jark]

OMG! the big VOX!

 

[funky]

Fully in the mood to drop and try to survive the Chicane misery trifecta of Honey, Autumn Tactics and No Ordinary Morning.

Three ESSENTIAL tracks right there.

 

[COB]

Ooh the vox are going OFF!

 

[ButterTart]

There is a vocal SURGE towards the end, which MAY HARM.

holy shit.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've heard this before! Not sure WHERE, but still.

On @RJN's event.

 

[funky]

She went a bit Marcella Detroit there for a second didn’t she? I mean who knew.

 

[COB]

Then you can perk yourself up with Stoned In Love

 

[RJN]

On @RJN's event.

Hidden gem sync listens are the promo for your sync listens

 

[COB]

On @RJN's event.

Oh! That would make sense, yes

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sweet Suburban Disco (2011)

Not sure what project this was from, but ENJOY!

 

[Jark]

She went a bit Marcella Detroit there for a second didn’t she? I mean who knew.

super apt comparison. Still Waters is def my favourite of the bunch so far! what a classy AFFAIR!

 

[RJN]

I'm enjoying that even when her music is upbeat, its still SAD

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They won't CRUSH HER HOLE!

 

[ButterTart]

Then you can perk yourself up with Stoned In Love

I feel like somebody should run a Chicane sync listen.

Not tonight, obviously, our BILLIE RAY needs her moment in the sun.

 

[funky]

Listening to these you do have to wonder why she didn’t at least have a decent slew of hits. This is all very accessible AND she can sang.

she’s giving me Alison Moyet vocal vibes in Sweet Suburban Disco. Which is of course a massive compliment.

 

[Penelope]

God the instrumental on Still Waters gets really very SIMCITY 4 towards the end

QUITE ANNIE LENNOX-ESQUE VOIX TOO

She could have easily written for other people and got hits.

 

[ButterTart]

QUITE ANNIE LENNOX-ESQUE VOIX TOO

Yes!

And she literally did just say 'they won't crush her hole'

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Yes!

And she literally did just say 'they won't crush her hole'

It's HOPE, but lets say HOLE.
