Ok, this is now the last Dudley album I own: SERIOUSLY CHILLED
Concerning sound somewhere between 90s orchestral TripHop and 80s Classic Rock she arranged and conducted these tracks with the BBC concert orchestra and band.
For that she used existing compositions from various instrumental artists most of which I don’t know, but some are well known like Ennio Morricone (Chi Mai), Mark Snow (The X-Files), John Barry (Midnight Cowboy) or Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks), Ryuichi Sakamoto (Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence). But also music of Fauré, Mussorgsky and two of her own compositions were used.
Like the album title says, it’s all very chilling and groovy.
It’s not really my type of music. For my taste too undecided if it wants to be orchestral or pop music.
But it has its moments.
