    CW: 1982 - Chasing sheep is best left to shepherds from "The Draughtsman's Contract" by Michael Nyman

    Baroque music tended to repeat existing ideas, and Nyman's work is based on an extract from Purcell's 1691 work "King Arthur", recycled through the same chord sequence as doo-wop music of the 1950s.

    This tune has been used in many adverts and sampled by another baroque act, Pet Shop Boys.

    CW: 2001 - Destiny from "Simple Things" by Zero 7

    Any summer evening by the pool has to feature this track. It's the law.

    Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker had been respected remixers for years before their own album came out. It was worth the wait, and this track remains a high point of their career.

    CW: 2003 - Un'emozione per sempre from "9" by Eros Ramazzotti

    Eros did what Nik Kershaw could have done: turned a sudden mid-80s success into a lifelong career.

    By 2003, almost two decades into his art, Eros has moved towards warm and inclusive adult rock, most clearly on the album's lead single.

    "An emotion forever" is about the love that remains even when the warm bodies are apart.

    CW: 2022 - Saudade, saudade from "Can You See Me?" by Maro

    #Popiversary2 is summertime chill through the years. Here, #Maro and friends yearn for a better world, better in some indefinable way. Deeply sad, and deeply optimistic at the same time.

    Performance from the Festival da Canção in 2023.
