Favorite Rooms

[inescapableus]

I love them all but I'd say generation X wing.. when my daughter was a newborn she would always fall asleep to that song...Matt's voice would lull her to sleep. She still loves his music (probably cause I play it ALL the time).

prime time deliverance the accoustic makes it sound so peaceful, but with such a disturbing message, the audio he added to it is also awesome

[WhatamNot]

tripoli and prime time deliverence are really good...

[leftofnormal38]

id have to say truffle pigs as my 1st choice and tripoli as numeber 2. both original versions are really good tho

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Tripoli for sure. I think it sounds eleven better as an acoustic!! I can listen to it on repeat in certain moods, it

[saturnine]

x-wing gives me chills. it's bleak and desolate. though, so is tripoli.

tripoli stands out amongst all the others in that it works so well acoustically. apparitions and strange days do too, but we've heard them done acoustically before. and I have to admit that I don't like when artists evolve the way they sing their classics. you know, the extra "aaa aaa aa's" in apparitions etc. it's good for them cause they get bored and their singing changes, but it's a classic because of the way he originally sang it .

 

I picked prime time because it probably adheres more closely to the original, and also because it's my favorite song out of the bunch, regardless of however it's re-recorded.and the channel surfing added a lot to it. x-wing is a close 2nd for me, the lyrics really stood out in an cool/awkward way.but for the same reason hello time bomb didn't work. I couldn't pick tripoli because I still view it as a pixie tribute.

 

as for the rest, I wouldn't liked if he tried something other than slow the tempo and frig up the timing for every song. it was cool, but playing acoustically is eccentric enough witout, anyway im rambling sorry.

north american for life....the Rooms version is incredible. Well, the whole disc is great, but this version blew me away.
