Duende Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I don't know if the advertising campaign is the same in the US, but here the new game has featured to mesmorising song by a singer called Mazzy Star. I think I like it too because it recalled the beautiful side to the Doors' Music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO30b_SxLzE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisA83 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yeah beautiful song. Apparently they were Kurt Cobain's favourite band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Matt. One of the bands I've spent most time listening to over the past couple of years. Remembering my second year at uni, when I first discovered them. The singer is called Hope Sandoval. Hope springs Sandoval? Try Flowers in December for size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agFBp3xx41E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sandoval! The luthier who made Randy Rhoads' polka dit flying V! A good oman right there :) Cheers Charlie will check the recommendation out! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Nice videos. I like both of them. I find that kind of music very addictive. Not overproduced and with easy-on-the-ears vocals. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't know if the advertising campaign is the same in the US, but here the new game has featured to mesmorising song by a singer called Mazzy Star. I think I like it too because it recalled the beautiful side to the Doors' Music I was struck by this song as well, after seeing the TV ads in the UK a couple of weeks ago. The Doors similarity caught me immediately. A lot of the Doors music makes me very uncomfortable today--I can't sit down and listen to an entire album straight through, even though I have several on my ipod for traveling. I think it's because Morrison was a really troubled dude--and not in a particularly good way--and it really comes through in their music. It's funny, since I liked it a lot when it first came out--all the mystical imagery and strange instrumental voicings. Of course, that was the 60's. Today, a lot of it just seems.... weird and pretentious. Saw the Doors in concert in the early fall of 1967--right after "Light My Fire"--and it was a pretty average concert. That's pretty typical of groups that were heavily engineered and mixed in the studio in a way that is impractical to replicate in live concert. The groups of that type who do the best live concerts are those that take a totally different tack from their recorded versions in concert, instead of doing a thin attempt at their studio versions. I do like the simplicity and implicit darkness of the Mazzy Star clips here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
