Nineties Revisited: Wrong


Original video located here. Accessed 5th August 2019

Song title: Wrong

Artist: Everything but the Girl

Year: 1996

Why I like this song:

I think Everything but the Girl - or more specifically their Walking Wounded period - was my first exposure to Trip-hop: a genre that uses the same tech as dance music but with the beat slowed down in order to make way for something moody. 

This does indeed represent the parent album as a whole with mood and emotional depth. It's a far cry from the doof-doof that represents dance music and is all the more welcome for it. 
And for at the time, my knowledge of dance/electronic music was expanded and proved what it could accomplish.
