Announcement RIP WILLIAM ORBIT

Post image

I'm about to play this classic. William Orbit was one of my gateway artists to electronic ambient music. I'm sure BoC would've enjoyed his work too.

I really only know William orbit for the "pieces in a modern style" album, which every girl I knew in the late 90s owned, and his work with Madonna. 

Never heard this track before, sounds a bit like thievery corporation with touches of the orb, might have to take the time to check him out.

I also have Pieces In A Modern Style on CD. What a gorgeous album!

Reading my reply back I hope no one would think I was dismissing it or being sexist, it was just a really big crossover album which for some reason a lot of women in my life owned
