bond's comments
1. Explosive
HAYLIE: “It is what it says, this track is explosive! It was written by Tonci Huljic who wrote our first hit ‘Victory’. It is Bondesque in style with undertones of riverdance. Like a lot of our music, this track is an uplifting track: it’s fun, very fast, and alive!... to infinity and beyond!”
2. Scorchio
EOS: “A lot of people think of our sound as being like ‘Victory’ so we thought we’d keep that kind of familiarity there. It is a high-energy track. The intro is Middle Eastern and then goes into something more Spanish.”
3. Midnight Garden
EOS: “The original Swan Lake has a sort of beautiful melancholy about it, so I have tried to keep that and put it in a new light. I wanted to write something really atmospheric and slightly French-sounding. I love Serge Gainsbourg’s music and I was thinking along the lines of something like ‘Je t’aime’, so there is some voice on this track.”
4. Lullaby
TANIA: “It’s taking the theme from Pachelbel’s Canon and making it into a completely new track, which is what we’ve done with quite a few tracks on this album, more so than on the other albums. We’ve taken well-known themes and moved them in a different direction.”
5. Samba
TANIA: “We all love Latin music, dance and culture. When we first heard the fantastic Bellini Brothers version we loved the high-energy feel of the track so thought we would have a go at putting our own personal stamp on it. It's a well-known theme people recognise and can sing along to easily — and make up their own words if they want!”
6. Hungarian
HAYLIE: “It’s really mad and strange as you get stuck in it and it goes over and over again to the point where it’s quite hypnotic. It’s another up-tempo track. We wanted to do something along those gypsy lines. The idea started out from ‘Korobushka’, that was one of the pieces we did on our first album, which is one of the numbers that goes down so well when we do it live. When we were thinking of drawing classically inspired tracks we thought Hungarian Dance No. 5 would be brilliant, but it was one of those ideas that went completely off on a tangent.”
7. I'll Fly Away
GAY-YEE: “This track was inspired more from cinematic and Eastern music. I wanted to write something very simple and calm, it’s definitely one of the more laid-back tracks on the album.”
8. Dream Star
HAYLIE: “I wanted to do something really filmic and lush that embraced all emotions. It’s a peaceful, serene kind of happiness that one strives for, laced with a longing, yearning desire for something deeper... a bittersweet symphony. It reflected how I was feeling at the time.”
9. Highly Strung
HAYLIE: “It’s a wild version of Sabre Dance with crazy distorted playing from us, playing off of a mad guitar. It’s like a showdown or a play-off! Very mad! Very fast!”
10. Adagio for Strings
EOS: “William Orbit did a version that is all electronic, this one has live strings so it’s a larger sound, and the beat is quite tribal. It’s such a powerful piece in its pure form, I think the arrangement works really well. It’s like a churning engine; the strings parts are very fast compared to the track, so the piece has real momentum.”
11. Señorita
TANIA: “It’s got a Missy Elliott vibe. It’s quite a dark track, moody in the beats. It’s edgy, with a catchy melody. I was listening to a lot of Missy Elliott at the time and then I heard someone singing the Habanera theme. I thought it would work really well in that style. So it was more of a musical influence than a personal influence.”
