Music Monday: In My Heart

Music Monday 2Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek – where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.

This week’s Music Monday is ‘In My Heart’ by Moby, an upbeat electronic track featuring The Shining Light Gospel Choir.

In My Heart is taken from Moby’s sixth studio album, ’18’, which reached critical acclaim upon its release in 2002 following the success of ‘Play’. ’18’, which uses more guest vocalists and less samples than its predecesor, remains one of my favourite Moby albums to date and has featured as a backdrop to innumerable sci-fi reads. Favourite tracks include. ‘In This World’, ‘In My Heart’, ‘One of These Mornings’, and the incredibly popular ‘Extreme Ways’ (thanks to The Bourne Identity).

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek – where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.

This week’s Music Monday is ‘Hell Is Round the Corner’, the incredible trip-hop track from Tricky. Sampling Isaac Hayes’ ‘Ike’s Rap II’, which also featured in Portishead’s ‘Glory Box’, Tricky’s trademark sound features elements of rock, hip hop, soul, ambient electro and reggae with additional vocals from Martina Topley-Bird.

And if the chill-out vibes weren’t already enough, Tricky, along with Massive Attack and Portishead, has also featured as the backdrop to my entire read through of the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch, making it the perfect backdrop to a thrilling urban fantasy.

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek – where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.

This week’s Music Monday is Gurdy’s Green, an instrumental track by German musician Patty Gurdy played entirely on a hurdy gurdy. This dark folk pop track found its way into my music library after playing far too much Sea of Thieves, a game which allows players to join in concert with traditional instruments as they battle for dominance on the high seas.

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek – where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.

This week’s Music Monday is Svitjod, an ambient Nordic folk track by Forndom from their dark, beautiful and melodic album Dauðra Dura. This is an evocative, ambient and highly listenable track which could easily form the backdrop to many a fantasy or Norse inspired read. Powerful and atmospheric, Svitjod truly is an awe-inspiring piece of music.

Sit back, listen and enjoy!
