BACKGROUND
Music intended to be slightly mainstream/diverse, if that's possible. Massive Attack's relatively relaxing "Exchange" using samples of Isaac Hayes is contrasted with model-cum-singer/songwriter Carla Bruni showing that all pop songs don't have to be about "she", but that the woman's point of view is also there. Sigur Ros, the critically acclaimed Icelandic quartet, evoke the bleak Icelandic landscape in "Puddle Jumping" - "...Hopping into puddles Completely drenched Soaked With no boots on
And I get a nosebleed But I always get up..." (In Icelandic of course!)
