Sneaker Pimps. For years I'd only heard a couple of songs on the radio, Six Underground and Spin Spin Sugar. But the album Becoming X popped up on my Amazon music list so I listened. It's really good. I'd rank that album alongside the best of other '90s trip hop from Massive Attack and Portishead. This isn't a throwaway track on Becoming X, from Low Place Like Home and Tesko Suicide to Waterbaby. It's all very good. Chris Corner wasn't the best vocalist for the band but he sure can write a song.
This track, Precious, apparently was the flip side of the single release for Six Underground. It's terrific.
Too bad they didn't continue with Kelli Dayton (now Ali) because her voice interpreted their songs better. She's still making music. Her more contemporary song vocals are still pretty much like her work with Sneaker Pimps -- sultry, a bit of wry humor, and a bit dangerous looking, sorta vampire/werewolfish with her pegged lateral incisors and sly smile. But she can also sing traditional folk music with a Joan Baez style trill. Yup, still got a celeb-crush on her 20+ years later.

I am on another Rush kick currently listening to Moving Pictures. R.I.P. Neil Peart
Also have been listening to this a lot recently:
R.I.P. John Prine
Neil and John wrote some amazing lyrics that told stories and pulled you in but someone can go and say the name of a company over and over and over and make tons of money without all the hard work and they live. Grumble grumble.

My recent walking/jogging playlist:
Vince Guaraldi -- because Christmas, natch.
Beebop -- mix of Coltrane, Davis, many others.
Sneaker Pimps -- Becoming X, with extras not on the original album. Still great.
Allman Brothers -- Fillmore live album
Grateful Dead -- '72 Europe tour album
I just tried Spotify recently and it's "smarter" than Amazon Prime Music in learning my tastes and adapting. But I haven't paid for the premium version to try it offline for walking/jogging. It works much better than Pandora or Amazon on my older phones. My newer phone doesn't care, but the old Android phone locks up with both Pandora and Amazon, and the old iPhone runs sluggishly. Spotify is much more resource efficient.

Such a good album to probably my most listened to Mingus album by far.
