Full of zasadzkas
Just when I though the terms melody and harmony (beyond the 2-3 base chords) stopped meaning absolutely anything to modern music creators - life had a Trick (feat. Sqbass) for me!
It’s got the beats. It’s got the strings. It’s got the piano. I’m still not sure what it is exactly, but it’s got a bass clarinet/sax or oboe/bassoon! It’s Polish. And it’s got that something… That something that music by Yoko Kanno, Luis Bacalov, Metheny & Mays, Morricone, Jobim has. Jamiroquai has it sometimes (and used to have more often in the early days). Something the Boris Dlugosh’s version of Moloko’s Sing it Back definitely has. (Actually, Novika even sounds a bit like Róisín Murphy…)
Anyway, today even my kettle sings (whistles) in tune! Ah, the Tricks of Life…
