associations. Schroeder-Headz and The Cinematic Orchestra

'Nocturne' by Schroeder-Headz and 'To build a home' by The Cinematic Orchestra.
I mean, the intro, the intro!

IMHO. Fake? - why did I ever decide to give them a try?

'why did I ever decide to give them a try?' - I was thinking when I listened through the whole discography and found only 7 songs that were at least interesting.
Then I opened my YouTube history and remembered what I thought upon hearing them for the first time. 'These songs are not very impressive, but they are listenable and I might find something good if I listen to the rest of their songs'.
So, it seems the so-so songs I heard were probably the best I could find among more than a hundred of songs Fake? ever issued.
Wiki says they even produced a song "Care" in collaboration with Kokia... If I weren't told there is female vocal in there, I wouldn't even notice it. If I weren't told it's Kokia I wouldn't recognise her. I can only laugh now that I know this fact... What an impressive vocal! How much it changed the song atmosphere! LOL
And this is Kokia, with her outstanding talent and unique aura...... >____<
In the end, the only listenable songs were:
Taste it
Mad Hatz' Merry Go Round
Serial killa
Forgive
White rabbit inc
Beside me pink and purple
Two hearts
Probably the only fact that make these songs stand out is the heavier use of electronic sound... The rest are so alike and so plaintive and dismal, I'm tired of listening to them.
