Make-out music?

[molly bloom]

For getting right down to the real nitty gritty there are two albums by Alpha on the Melankolic label, ‘Come From Heaven’ and ‘Pepper’- both have been road tested by me and my friends (separately) and have never failed to deliver.

Harold Budd’s lush jazz-inspired soundscapes on ‘The Pavilion of Dreams’, especially the two tracks, one adapted from a Pharoah Sanders track, the other from a John Coltrane track, are definitely torrid zone contenders.

Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ and ‘Midnight Love’ are also obvious choices (the former has been re-released with a whole c.d. of new material) as is John Coltrane’s ‘A Love Supreme’- it bridges the gap between sacred and profane love very well indeed.

For the frenzied attack (The Postman Always Rings Twice scenario) I’d recommend Cabaret Voltaire’s ‘2 X 45’ album, especially the tracks ‘Protection’ and ‘Get Out of My Face’- for those times when clothes simply get in the way, and a kitchen table is better than a futon...

Individual tracks I put on compilation c.d.s include:

Craig Armstrong: Weather Storm
Massive Attack: Angel
Bill Withers: Ain’t No Sunshine
Nina Simone: Sinnerman and Don’t Smoke in Bed
Roberta Flack: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
M.F.S.B.: Love Is The Message
Isaac Hayes: Walk On By
Donna Summer: I Feel Love
Talking Heads: The Great Curve and Take Me To The River (live)
Brian Eno/David Byrne: Jezebel Spirit (original version)
The Passions: I’m In Love With A German Film Star
Magazine: The Light Pours Out Of Me
Lisa Germano: Happiness
Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger: Wheel’s On Fire
Roxy Music: For Your Pleasure and The Bogus Man and Both Ends Burning (live)
Erma Franklin: Piece of My Heart
Erin O’Hara: Down in the Valley
William Orbit: Water From A Vine Leaf
Kate Bush: The Sensual World
Massive Attack and Madonna: I Want You
Grace Jones: Use Me and Walking in the Rain and Pull Up To The Bumper
Phoebe Snow: Every Night
Tracy Thorn and Massive Attack: The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
P.J. Harvey: One Time Too Many and Long Snake Moan
Moloko: The Time Is Now
Morcheeba: Fear and Love
David Bowie: Can You Hear Me ? and Fascination
Bryan Ferry: Feel the Need and What Goes On

There are some excellent rude blues compilations, C.B.S. released two, I think, called Raunchy Blues, well worth investigating.

As is Julia Lee’s entire oeuvre.

You can’t go far wrong with the seductive sounds of Dinah Washington, either.

Molly gets the award for best organised.
As for Lazarus and the Gimp, I wouldn't recognise a single one of those.

I guess my fondest memory goes to Catfish's first album "Unlimited Address", but any decent trance or trip hop would do nicely.

[Thoth]

Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
"Lord of the Dance" soundtrack.
Or for something a little more mystical, Gregorian Chant.

[Kramerman]

Any Christmas songs sung by frank Sinatra or the like

Actually, it always seems to be the theme song from Jay Leno... man that song is long

KSFO?

Slow to crescendo would be "Golden Ball", by Stereolab.

Although Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting" album had some good tunes for this.

And a friend of mine has an album called, "Music to make love to your old lady by."

Civ 3 Soundtrack...


...what??

(and yes, this HAS happened before)

[Dis]

I want proof of that

[Ted Striker]

the theme to the Delta Force starring Chuck Norris

[Q Classic]

or you could play group x, the arabian rap sensation, specifically their song "i just want bang bang bang".

So how was it? What did you eventually choose?

[Whaleboy]

Vangelis

The cover of "Tainted Love" by Marilyn Manson. Killswitch Engage's "When Darkness Falls" was pretty cool too. Anything on the Metallica "S&M" album is good!

Avoid Led Zep like the plague, otherwise we men WILL get up and play air guitar. Its not like we have an option.

Meantime AC, we need INFORMATION!!! .
