Holy God

[cyrano]

I realize I'm about ten years late to the Cool Kids Party, but Rob Dougan Holy God. I just. And. Augh. With the.
It's dark, yes, and in a slightly different mood I might have just said "laughably pretentious" and tossed it out. But. Wow. Yes. Emily Dickinson. Jean Cocteau. Ryuichi Sakamoto. Elgar.
This is music to drive to, in a very determined fashion, and I very nearly found an extra half hour of freeway to drive and just suffer the consequences of being late to work. And I *hate* driving.
I saw it described as "dance music nobody can dance to" and yes but if my club (Girder) were open tonight, it'd be six solid hours of Rob Dougan.
So. Um. Yeah. I liked it pretty okay. And I'm looking forward to hearing the instrumental version of "Instrumental".
EDIT: And oh yeah he's pretty. And the liner notes--all the photos are in breathtaking stages of damage. I just. Oh. And yeah.
Double EDIT: Watched the video for Furious Angels, which is... it is a thing. It is perfect within itself. I don't like things this much, so I must assume that he has drugged his CD, and if I die mysteriously this evening there should be an autopsy performed and he should likely be advised not to leave town.

Yeah, "Clubbed to Death" has been on my list of awesome for a while. Also "Speed Me Towards Death."

No, no theme to be seen here. :)

Yeah, I heard the Matrix remix of Clubbed to Death on the soundtrack, and it was cool enough that I suggested it for the Ashworth soundtrack as well. But I'd never heard anything else. Until this morning.
