I prefer moody or melancholic myself - which is exactly why Tindersticks continue to hit the mark.Not as easy listening as Nenette.. but as soundatracks go, relaxing and atmospheric. Soundtracks should float over you, not attempt to steal centre stage. If you want 'songs' buy a musical.… Full Review »
