You're "hearing" all these other great artists. That is homage, not replication. These great ladies deserve their wherewithall based on their own merits. Right?

Honestly? I was hearing "The Bed's Too Big Without You" in there myself.

I think sucko-barfo just about sums it up.

I am not at all familiar with this tune! So good! I have both of the other Babble albums, and that seems to be all that's out there. Is this from a third album that I am not aware of?
Bob Marley meets Gorillaz
Ho hum
I was not feeling it at first, but was nodding my head before long. Reminds me of Thievery Corporation a bit. Great mix — not crazy about some parts but good electro-dub with good use of delay and I like the Ace of Base-esque synth
Makes my subwoofer do some woofing in a good way
This is cool.
Are they saying "like Belly needs a bass line"?
Sounds a bit Tom Tom Club-ish

You'll like Pete Cogle's Dub Zone, then (and thanks to the RP listener who pointed me towards it). This song is way cool and a foot-tappingly scrumptious mashup. Sexy voice, too :o). 9 from the Nottingham jury.
Dub is always good to me.

Other than the fact that both are very excellent, I don't see a big similarity, other than the nice clean production. For what it's worth, I still use The City Sleeps to voice PA systems, and I have since I got the CD.
Is it just me, or does this sound a lot like MC 900 Foot Jesus — The City Sleeps?

Is it just me, or is there a beeping sound in this track that is precisely tuned to simulate the effect of an icepick jabbing again and again into one's temporal lobe?

Interesting - I really thought this was Thievery Corporation until the vocalist kicked in. Nice to hear a bit dub in the mash. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

A weird hybrid between Deep Forest and Madonna's "Justify My Love..."
From the movie? ![](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_ask.gif)

Babble is the duo of New Zealand native Alannah Currie (b. September 28, 1957) and Englishman Tom Bailey (b.January 18, 1956), who formerly made up the Thompson Twins, a dance-rock band that charted with seven albums in the U.S. between 1982 and 1989, the most successful of which was the million-selling Top Ten hit Into the Gap (1984), which featured their biggest single, "Hold Me Now" (#3). They reorganized as a six-piece band with Indian and new age influences and released their first album as Babble, The Stone, in 1994. In 1996, they returned with Ether.
