Interactive Poll: It Takes Two!

^ I know it because someone else had put this up in another Interactive Poll a while back. I don't remember the theme, but I remember it because I had not known it before, liked it a lot, and tried to see if it was on Amazon Music (it was not). But I found a good cover version, which resulted in a new artist in my collection.

Cover version by the Unfolk Collective / Alessandro Monti.

Here's a link to a 'trailer' of the album with the cover. Parts of the cover are in the trailer.

Something different. The comedy rock duo of Danny Sexbang (Dan Avida) and Ninja Brian (Brian Wecht), known as Ninja Sex Party with an epic fantasy tale. The Mystic Crystal.

^ Probably a number of people know Chaise Longue but hardly anything else? I've seen their Glastonbury performance, which was great, but haven't explored them further, and I'm not sure whether it's worthwhile to dig deeper.

Here’s a collaboration of two of my favourite artists (I mostly listen to modern female singer-songwriters these days), Chelsea Wolfe & Emma Ruth Rundle - "Anhedonia” from 2021.

Mila, please, give me just another day to choose my selection!

So these three will be my nominations.

1. Boards of Canada - "The Beach at Redpoint' (from Geogaddi, 2002)



2. Cedric Victor & Jarboe - "Summoning Tigers in Dark Eden" (off the album Dark Consort from 2008).



For a well-known act, but avoiding best known release:

3. Air - "Sex Born Poison" (off the much underrated 10,000 Hz Legend from 2001)



The Air duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel have enlisted others to help with the album but, as often happens with duos and solo artists, this is very much their project. I know that I have shared this before in at least one topic at PA and "Radian" off that album I have nominated before for an Interactive Poll. I do like having both Air and BoC being represented.

EDIT: I replaced Chelsea Wolfe & Emma Ruth Rundle - "Anhedonia” (a single release from 2021) with a track from the Cedric Victor & Jarboe collaborative album, Dark Consort (their second collaborative album release).

I had read your rules and I didn't expect that to be permitted. It was only released as a single.

Mila wrote: The focus here should be on the latter, that is duos in the proper sense (not to be confused with an occasional duet), whereby additional musicians may also be present, but in a supporting role, so to speak.- Moreover, it can also be a joint side project of two artists who otherwise have other projects of their own. The main thing is that the two create something new together, even if it is only one album etc.

It does count as an occasional duo, or one time duet for one song. Somehow I was thinking it might just possibly get past "the one album etc." lol

I will choose another, and maybe one that is less gloomy (it's about depression). But maybe not much less gloomy. I changed my selection above.
