Welcome to Ten For, a feature where I take a look at the discographies of artists who tend to be known in the mainstream for only a few songs (if that), offering up a collection of tracks that will either serve as the start of an education or a squabble, depending on how you feel about the artist’s catalog.
I didn’t discover the wonders of 120 Minutes until a new friend opened my freshman ears to the panoply of college music, so “Madonna of the Wasps” was my intro to Robyn. Until now I’d forgotten how much I listened to ‘Perspex Island’ back in the day (thanks in part to its R.E.M. DNA), and I think I still have the ‘In Defense of Animals’ compilation that includes Michael’s cover of “Arms of Love.” Since I do lean towards a poppier sheen, this period is my favorite Hitchcock era.
Somewhere around here, I still have a CD single for "Madonna of the Wasps" that includes a phenomenal live version of "One Long Pair of Eyes" with Robyn telling a story lead-in to the song, along with a cover of Roxy Music's "More Than This."
I actually wanted to include "Ultra Unbelievable Love" from PERSPEX ISLAND in this mix, but to my surprise, no one has uploaded the studio version of the song to YouTube.
