  i-Tunes Playlist  

first record remembered
COSEY: Perry Como - Catch A Falling Star. My mother used to play it and sing along to it. Later when I was about 5 years old my friend and I did a public performance of it complete with dance routine to our gang of
friends.
CHRIS: The Laughing Policeman. This record haunted me continually through my childhood in the 1950s. Funny in a weirdly fascinating way (to kids anyway) but with my adult ears it sounds a bit creepy now.

a song that reminds you of school
COSEY: The Monkees - I’m A Believer. Whenever I hear this I can picture myself with my school friends laughing and getting up to all kinds of things. My school days were wonderfully happy.
CHRIS: Procul Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale. This track always brings back fond memories of school trips, discos and 'fun' behind the bike sheds.

a record you fell in love to
COSEY: Love - And More Again. My very first love in 1969.
CHRIS: ABBA - Dancing Queen. One of my all time favourite ABBA tracks. This was playing everywhere when I fell in love with Cosey.

your ultimate heartbreak song
COSEY: I don't have one in particular. When your heart is broken all songs seem to represent what you have lost.
CHRIS: Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water. I played this album a lot (not a good idea) when my first serious relationship broke up. As a result I find it a bit depressing to listen to nowadays.

a record that evokes greatest summer of your life
COSEY: ABBA - Dancing Queen.The year Chris and I became lovers. It was the hottest summer on record and whenever I hear this song a smile breaks across my face, my stomach flutters and I'm right back there in the same emotional state. I am unbelievably happy.
CHRIS: ABBA - Dancing Queen (for the same reason as Cosey). Also „Kites“ by Simon Dupree & The Big Sound. The summer I left school this was on the radio such a lot and brings back some very happy memories.

best Kraftwerk record
COSEY:The Robots
CHRIS: Radioactivity

A song you you wish you had composed yourself
COSEY: Future Bible Heroes - Losing Your Affection. It has the most beautiful melody and lyrics and it's in my key! It just resonates and touches all the right places inside me.
CHRIS: Pink Floyd - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. Still a classic and one of my all time favourite Floyd tracks. And I’d be a millionaire from all those royalties if I’d written it.

a song guaranteed to make you feel depressed
COSEY: ANY Country and Western music. I hate it, I call it 'slit your wrists music'.
CHRIS: ANY rap music.

the song played at your funeral
COSEY: Chris & Cosey - October Love Song. The lyrics are about the unfolding of our love affair and the overwhelming feelings we had for one another.
CHRIS: John Barry - Walkabout. JB at his most melodic and melancholy, I never tire of hearing this.
