It is good to plug into while I work. Currently I am listening to the CD that I compiled to play during fight scenes in geek (track listing here).
I don't tend to go for bog-standard "dance" music as such - I like a bit of variation, a bit of melody. Can't stand the stuff that just repeats over and over for 16, 32, 64 bars at a time (designed, as I understand it, for the drug-addled youth). I thought I had found a name for my "niche" yesterday; one of the (double) tapes I bought in Morrisons was called "Trip Hop", which sounded about right. On listening to one side of one tape it's almost there; it starts off with Bentley Rythm Ace, which I do like, but then it loops it around and plays a bunch of crap over it and it all goes a bit mad. Will listen to more of it on the way home tonight and see if the rest of it is any good.
"Chateau" is the music from the fight scene in the Chateau (spluh) from Matrix Reloaded. It is composer Rob Dougan's first foray into scoring for film, and is very fine indeed. His earlier track, Clubbed To Death, was featured in the first Matrix movie; you can hear the repeated themes and developed context. (It's also developed in his other Reloaded track, "Furious Angel", which I need to copy over again next week because it got corrupted on my MP3 stick.) "Chateau" speaks to me of continuation and progression and ass-kicking goodness.
