Adrian Lux – Damaged

“A somewhat ethereal quality to it.”

Tim: The song’s been around a couple of months, but the video’s a bit recent; I awaited until now to bring it out because it turns out I like watching the video more that hearing than song.

Tom: Is that a…

Tim: Compliment? I’m not sure.

Tim: I’m not even a big fan of skateboarding, so I don’t know what it is about that video that gets me, but I was sort of mesmerised by it. Though that might be the song, because there’s another (completely different) video for it here, which has a similar effect.

Though I don’t know, I might just be in a mesmerisable mood. Either way, I like the videos, and that enjoyment permeates through to the song. First time I heard a while back it didn’t do much for me, but now, well, I quite like it.

Tom: I think “mesmerised” is the right term: it has a somewhat ethereal quality to it that means it might not be the best for the dance track, but would work well in the middle of one of those chillout-dance compilations.

Tim: Ask me tomorrow morning, when the video isn’t fresh in my mind, and I don’t know what I’ll say – the vocals are a little sour for me, and the backing could possibly do with being lightened up a tad – but right now I’m happy with it, and would definitely dance to it. So that’s good then.

(time passes)

Tom: So what do you think now?

Tim: I like it. It’s good.
