I was at a dumpling place today and they had some music I loved but it was too quiet for my phone to pick up. There were a couple songs - if I could find one of them, I bet a related artists search could find more.

It was kind of a light jazz, a lot like Vince Guaraldi at times. No vocals. Maybe a bit samba-like, with strings and percussion, and usually there was a single electronic instrument of some type as the main melody. It reminded my wife of Wii Store music, it reminded me of the music from Sim City 2000.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an Asian jazz group - I found out I have a big soft spot for Calmera and the like, but is had no horns that I could tell.

tbh this sounds like every dumpling place I've ever been in. I think a lot of them use some kind of restaurant/business music station that plays lite jazz covers of songs. There's a pho place I like that has lite jazz hymns, it's weird as gently caress once you start recognizing the tunes.

i definitely eat at a vietnamese joint here where they once had a lounge-jazz version of wind of change by the scorpions on the speakers

there is a lot of pleasant elevator music for restaurants out there

I think Vietnamese places specifically do this more than any other kind of restaurant. I wonder why that is.

It's a SE Asian thing in general, I heard that poo poo all the time in Thailand and Laos. Their muzak game is on point, they have elevator versions of all the hot singles like three days after the originals come out.

I actually miss it sometimes. Today I ate at a Shake Shack and they were bumping a basic white girl playlist that was just insufferable. I'll take the easy listening Lady Gaga covers, please.

Turns out the band name & song title are impossible to google as well. I found this by looking for the comp I heard it on and found it on Discogs

Right, that was actually very easy - the first line is "Nu kommer fuglene igen", which is apparently well known as an alternative title; I just had to mangle my spellings into an approximation of Danish. The official title is Lyse Nætter, "bright nights".

It's apparently a popular song to cover and sing in choirs and what have you, but started life as a 1991 song from the debut album of Danish pop singer Alberte:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4NXA_69GVo

The specific version you found seems to be by DR's girls choir - with "DR" being Denmark's BBC equivalent. It may not be this exact one, there's more than one recording.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rL7-N9NV-A

Just as a bonus, lyrics:

quote:

Nu kommer fuglene igen,
og lyset vælter pluds’lig ind,
det kommer gennem alle sprækker,
lyse nætter er tilbag’.
Alt, hvad der rørte sig, blev glemt,
da du var rejst, var det så nemt.
Men hjertet ved godt, hvad det ønsker sig,
at pynte sig for dig.

Du er tilbag’, du er hos mig.
Du er tilbag’med varme dag’,
du er hos mig.

Nu kommer lydene igen,
og verden vælter pluds’lig ind
med parasoller og sandaler,
bølger maler alt i sand.
Jeg havde huset fuld af vind
og nye frugter fløjet ind.
Men hjertet ved godt, hvad det ønsker sig,
at pynte sig for dig.

Du er tilbag’, du er hos mig.
Du er tilbag’med varme dag’,
du er hos mig.

And translated (by me because I find that sort of thing fun):

quote:

Now the birds return to us
a shock of light comes flooding in
streams through every crack and hole
the bright nights are back.
All that moved was forgotten
with you away, it was so simple.
But the heart knows well what it wishes for,
to look good for you.

You're back, you're with me
You're back with warm days,
you are with me.


Sounds have suddenly returned,
and the world comes flooding in,
with parasols and sandals,
waves paint everything with sand.
I have a house full of wind
and new fruits flown in.
But the heart knows well what it wants,
to look good for you.

You're back, you're with me
You're back with warm days,
you are with me.

I’m looking for a techno song from the 1990s, probably from before 1995. Its only lyric, or the only one I remember, is a stentorian voice booming “1994,” or some other year from the 1990s (ie “1991,” “1992,” “1993” etc where the lyric is a specific year in the 1990s). It’s probably not “1992” by no_4mat because the voice is too quiet and the beat isn’t the same, and I think the song I’m looking for is from the 1990s, while no_4mat is more recent.

Slightly different question, but can anyone identify the synths being used on Sleep The Clock Around by Belle & Sebastian? Most prominently from 2:30 onwards.

God save my soul, I'm trying to find an earworm and having no luck at all.

It starts with a male robot rapping, very flat and free of emotion. I can't remember too many specific lyrics, but he's "funkatronic" and "water cooled" cause the beats were too hot. At some point the voice charges to a female robot voice claiming to be the upgraded 2.0 version and it raps onward. I cannot for the life of me find it though and I have Googled for....yeah several hours today.

The synths are original, but they're very similar (to my ears anyway) to Stereolab, particularly the "Dots and Loops" era:

So I’ve had the same loop of this song stuck in my head for ages. I can’t remember almost anything about it except for its like super ambient electro with a man speaking over the top with, I guess you’d call it life advice. I remember ‘don’t be afraid to…’ but not what he says after. I feel like it’s quite a famous tune. He sounds very chilled and reassuring.

I'm looking for a piano piece, almost certainly by Mozart, it starts slow and simple and then becomes more complicated (but not super complicated about two minutes in. My mother, who was not a really accomplished pianist, used to play it and would always gently caress up the hard(er) part.

This seems like Moonlight Sonata, but I figure you've already gone through the most popular Mozart, Beethoven, et al. pieces and listened to them.

A song that samples a piece from From Dusk Til Dawn where George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino are holding the bar at gun point "everybody be cool or you'll be just as dead as these fucks".

I can't remember what kind of music but it was probably dance/trance and is likely from the 90s.

Wrong movie but Fun Lovin Criminals - Scooby Snacks samples similar dialogue from Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs in case you're misremembering the details.
