Like I said, it depends on the mood. Plump DJs is hardly romantic. It's for those time when you would describe it as fucking, not making love (though still with someone you're in love with, of course .

There's some other techno remixes that are pretty sexy.

not the mix I would use, but here's a decent example (probably worth stopping at 3:30, especially if you're at work!):


Roger Sanchez's remix of "Hella Good" is another (I actually didn't hear the original of this tune until fairly recently, and it is not nearly as good).


Of course, with electronica, you'll generally have to mix the songs, not just copy them together.

And, don't forget things like Ravel's Bolero, Clair du Lune, and all those other sexy/romantic classical pieces.

Really, the list of music that is bad for intimacy is probably much shorter. What music works really depends on who you're with and the mood. Even stuff like The Grateful Dead, or Benny Goodman, or NIN would work with the right partner.

Every time I hear that piece, it's a little different. Like this one seemed to start halfway through, then go on in strange new directions.
But still spectacular!


That's called Jazz, baby.

awesome


What he said.

Funny how one of the most destructive eras of our recent history is also one of the most romantic.

That has actually been something that I've struggled with for quite some time. Growing up I romanticized that era like most others. I learned plane names and technical aspects, pilots names, airbases, dates, and statistics and all the while never really grasped what it was that I was really glorifying. That's not to say that finding an interest in the machines of war makes you a lover of war but there certainly is a grey area there. It's real easy, too easy in fact in this day and age to find some old footage, slap on some Glen Miller or Benny Goodman and then sit back and feel good about it all. Personally I try to learn more about the actual man inside the machine these days. What was their story and where are they now kinda thing. I still find a limitless interest and passion for the machine but it helps me keep things in perspective... for what it's worth.

Jazz musicians are textbook examples of reefer madness. That's what I learned in 6th grade from Sister Victima.

Cool, thanks! I like the little discussion on at the beginning of that one. Benny's such the straight man and all the other musicians are so stoned.
