Too much music up at once. Urk. Well, just one more song:
Junkie XL feat. Robert Smith - Perfect Blue Sky
Yes, it's the same JXL as did the Elvis remix. Far's I can tell the guy actively set out to write the perfect Cure-in-pop-mode pastiche for Robert Smith to sing on - except being a d'n'b DJ and not a rock band, the entire thing is programmed. The result is this lovely piece of chillout-groove electronica that leaves you itching for "real" instruments, and trust me, I never get that. XD It's just that it's very easy to mentally convert this into a downtempo New Order song, with the crisp drumming and jangly bass and synth washes, or one of those Cure songs that rather sound like New Order songs.
...And I had to make a note of that, but sometimes it feels as if the jargon sucks the soul out of things. ^^; I've been obsessing over this track since yesterday. The title is apposite; it gives one that sensation of standing on a grassy knoll on a summer day and gazing upward at a sky that's very high and very blue, knowing that one is very small. Mono no aware.

Someone write me a fic to this. Pwease?
