Gomenasai:t.A.T.u.

Artist: t.A.T.u.

Album: Dangerous And Moving

Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club: Matt's 2005 Best Of -- Streets Named For New England Trees

Song Notes: The new t.A.T.u. record, Dangerous And Moving is really great. I think I like the first one a little bit better, but this one is also very, very strong. I had a bit of trouble choosing which cut I was going to use on here, but I went with this one. The strings on this track are arranged by THE Richard Carpenter (yep, the guy from The Carpenters!), which is so cool. And, of course, he did a really good job. I love the combination of the electronics with the strings. Not to mention it's just a damn good pop song. The Onion said that this was the most inessential album of 2005 -- I question whether or not they actually listened to it, instead of just looking at the tracklisting and the (admittedly incredibly awful) cover art. -Rev.
