been a long time since i listened, but i seem to recall suzanne vega adding some electronica/noise/beats to her thing for the "99.9F" album.suspect some of that album would be suitable for this thread ?

I big this record up every five years but nobody cares, so here I go again.
Also the Furslide album is brilliant, Jennifer Turner just vanished into the ether after that, which is a huge shame. I own more than two thirds of the records whose YouTubes are in this thread, predictably.

Another soundtrack touchstone of this sound was the one for Spawn from '97, which had a Judgement Night-style pairing of Rock & Electronic artists.

cannot believe it has taken me this long to get to ARCHIVE.
their second album (now disowned by the band) epitomizes this sub-genre.

there must be something in the air bc i decided to finally try n get into garbage a couple mo. back & was really digging the overarching vibe
weirdly i completely love this aesthetic but the actual execution of it feels extremely spotty to me. IDK if it's just that I wish there was someone to distill the general sensation into something more pop or what but yeah
except for ivy's album which is pretty perfect.

Did we already talk about Curve's "Chinese Burn" and specifically that time Buffy and Faith danced to it at some awesome underground club in a factory (the kind that only exists in video clips, The Matrix and, seemingly, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) in the middle of the day?

they exist for real in Berlin! Maybe all these ppl are secretly going to Berlin real quick to dance?
