Now They'll Sleep

Belly was a rock band formed in 1991 by former Throwing Muses members Tanya Donelly (who was also in The Breeders) and Fred Abong. The band was based in Boston, Massachusetts, though all of the original members grew up in Newport, Rhode Island. The band consisted of Donelly on lead vocals and guitar, Abong on bass, Tom Gorman on guitar, and Chris Gorman on drums. Tom and Chris, who were brothers, were childhood friends of Donelly's, they had previously played in the hardcore punk band Verbal Assault. Soon after, their single "Feed the Tree" made the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart and their first album, Star (1993). Now They'll Sleep appears on the second album "King" , it was released in 1995,

Just after the release of Star, bassist Fred Abong left and was replaced by Gail Greenwood. Greenwood was originally a guitar player in a Boston-area metal band before being recruited to play bass in Belly. The live sound of the band evolved to accommodate her style, with its shows featuring more electric guitar than before and less of the dreamy quality of its first album.

As a result, the group's next album, "King" (1995), was more rock and roll-oriented. The album was not a popular success and the band was stuck between mainstream and underground acceptance. "King" saw its numerous singles fail to sustain any significant airplay on Modern Rock radio. The videos for "Now They'll Sleep" and "Super Connected" received little airplay on MTV US outside of limited airings on 120 Minutes, although they were well received on MTV Europe. Belly appeared on the April 20, 1995 cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

The Martini's - Free

Di akhir tahun 96 pas gue sedang berlibur di Singapura, sebenarnya waktu itu gue merasa kesepian karena ditinggal orangtua (pada saat itu mereka pergi ke Johor, gue menolak ajakan mereka untuk ikut dan lebih memilih untuk tetap tinggal dihotel) lagu ini menjadi teman setia gue yang ketika itu sedang berjalan sendirian ditengah keramaian kota yang begitu asing namun terasa menyenangkan dan lagu ini menjadi moment berharga yang angat berkesan hingga saat ini...

The Cardigans - Daddy's car

Sebenarnya gue bingung untuk memilih lagu mana yang paling enak di album ini (abis hampir semua lagu-lagunya enak didengar sih) sampai akhirnya gue memutuskan untuk memilih lagu ini, bukan apa-apa! iramanya apalagi pas bagian Reff-nya asik punya...dan lagu ini menjadi penghibur gue disaat masa-masa desperate gue saat bulan Juni keparat 95 yang gak bakal gue lupain... dan juga menjadi kenangan indah saat gabung bersama teman-teman "Ekstrim Kanan" gue hehehe!

Lemonheads - it's about time

Simple.. cuma itu yang bisa gue ucapin, tapi entah kenapa selain lagu ini sempat dibawain pas festival Band di Bulungan 95 silam, dan menjadi semacam "theme song persahabatan kami" juga menjadi kenangan gue bersama seseorang gadis pada saat itu.. Pertama kali dengar 93 bahkan sampai sekarang pun gue masih hafal lyric-lyricnya bagaikan sebuah kitab suci dari Tuhan... WTF!

Shonen Knifes - Top of the world

Lagu pop lama milik duo Carpenter ini terasa pas banget ketika dibawakan ulang dalam irama Punk oleh Shonen Knifes yang notabene berasal dari Jepang, diawali dengan petikan gitar yang kasar lalu dilanjutkan dengan suara dentuman drum dan bass yang demikian kompak datang bertubi-tubi membuat kesan lain pada lagu manis ini..Cool nice!!

DOWNLOAD





Echobelly - Great things

"British music" memang mempunyai nuansa yang sangat berbeda dibandingkan dengan musik-musik Amerika yang pada saat itu di dominasi aliran Grunge dan Alternative-Rock, lagu ini pun sebenarnya lebih cenderung ke arah pop namun karena dibawakan oleh sang vocalis Sonya Aurora Madan dengan "irama riang" dalam balutan "distorsi sound" yang cukup pas... sehingga mampu membangkitkan semangat gue pada saat-saat ketika sedang merasa bosan atau jenuh.. so Catchy!

10000 Maniacs - more than this

Dipertengahan tahun 97 gue pertama kali dengar lagu ini.. pas pula disaat gue pertama kali berkenalan dengan mantan istri gue yang cantik..dan memutuskan untuk menikahi dia walaupun mungkin itu adalah sebuah kesalahan terbesar gue.... tapi gue gak pernah menyesal pernah kenal dengannya... :)
