Catchy and playful, with saturated beats and a mildly aggressive synth that take the listener into a pop dimension but with grittiness and a lot of colour. A bit like Gary Numan ‘Cars’ mixed with a minimal hipster.
Dark and groovy, with a low-key drum machine beat and gritty inserts of synth and classical instruments that make for a mysterious and hypnotic ambient setting. Minimal and foreboding but not without a sense of humour, good for introspective and quirky scenes. We’re definitely waiting for something to happen.
Contemplative guitar and drone track. Acoustic guitar plucking a sparse melody above a subtle sitar-like drone. Simple, thoughtful, meditative and atmospheric, perfect for a slow-moving TV/Doc scene over a beautiful vista.
Scattered piano melody with electronic effects over a subtle ambient synth drone. Background drone grows in waves of atmospheric noise. The noise grows stronger and harsher, almost swallowing the piano notes. Another string drone swells to finish. Introspective, melancholy and reflective, suiting a moment of pause, reflecting on the past and contemplating the future. Suitable for thoughtful ending in a TV/Doc.
w/ synths: Added other-wordly synth drones and wonky sustained synth lines, giving an off-kilter edge.
w/ strings: Regal orchestral string arrangement on top of piano melody from the start, string lines intersecting in a looping counterpoint.
Country violin instrumental with piano. Violin, oom-pah bass and drums and tinkling piano to start. Slide guitar introduced for a solo. Wistful violin returns. Sentimental, warm and wholly nostalgic, harking back to a bygone time, would suit an advert that’s keepin’ it country, or a TV/Film moment of cheesy reverie.
Happy intro with solo violin riffs and evolving arpeggios, quickly form a firm driving groove with a strong roving bass line. Mood is neutral but chilled, then after a few breakdowns at 3:07 it reduces to a stomping 4-to-the-floor cut down beat before the rest of the elements crash back in. I could personally listen to that reduced beat all day – awesome production throughout. Understated, refined and sophisticated. Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman).
Beautiful glockenspiel sequences with classical guitar arpeggios. Joined by sighing deep cello lines. At 1:11 a simple pulse is introduced, progressing to full organic sounding beat with guitar strums. Searching, nostalgic, positive and dreamy.
Soft emotive classical guitar is joined by soft glockenspiel, and low cello. Neutral, sweet and passive at first but gets more intense by degrees til it ends full of longing. Feels like unrequited love.
Downbeat electronica with percussive echoing sequences. Cool, sensual and snaking.
Light and jaunty, EDM. Laid back and grooving with lots of arpeggiated synth lines. Futuristic and bright.
