Danceable, yes, but when it comes to this style of music, I'm looking for things with slower tempos. Right around the tempo of Glory Box is perfect, but depending on the feel, maybe a little faster will do, too. You have anything that fits this description?

Dom (All),

This thread has some great stuff but I was hoping for something a little different. I don't really think there is a specific genre for what I am thinking of. I'm probably just picking ballads from different artists and thinking there is a "catch-all" sound somewhere. Something more "lazy" and haunting without the backbeat I am hearing in alot of these examples. The Azure Ray "Drinks We Had Last Night" (from female singer/songwriter thread) was a great example of what I am getting at.

Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You" and "Into Dust" come to mind Also "Wicked Game" which I know is played out but the sound is representative.

Also Julee Cruise:

The World Spins (Couldn't find the complete song)

Into The Night (Ignore weird video)

Questions In A World Of Blue (Give it a sec... the song kicks in)

Screw it, I'm kinda all over the place. Sorry for the hijack...I'll keep an eye on this thread and the other one.

two old school tracks

Sven Väth - L'esperanza

The Future Sound of London — Papua New Guinea

Also no one mentioned Nightmares on Wax

Wookie:

If you want something with the same rhythm as that song: The Harder They Come

I would suggest DJ Tiesto as well, but I just counted some of his stuff, and it is with the speed of Oakenfold. I am not huge into Dance. But you may want to check out Madonna's Confession on a Dance Floor. You can even pick it up in Vinyl, and it is a very solid work.

sorry

hung up

Oakenfold remixed Sorry

Here is some Tiesto. Maybe he is fast for your tastes.

Just Be

Rain Down On Me : It takes a minute for it to get to the point.

And the Tiesto mix of Southern Sun

Tell me if I am getting closer. There is tons of dance music that I have heard that I wish I could find, and tons that I used to own that I no longer have. If you like any of the above, you ought to go ahead and explore some more.

Good luck.

Laika - lush, dreamy female vocals on top of complex, jazzy trip hoppybeats and blips. Band is still around - according to their website - next album is half in the bag.
Highly recommended.

Zero 7 -- I've heard In the Waiting Line before, and it's pretty good. This is another one I might consider picking up. Home was interesting, but not as much music that'd get me dancing.

Try Sia - Breathe Me (Mylo Remix)

Sia is the lead singer from Zero 7, but by herself. This is remixed by Mylo, who is [censored] awesome. Great song.

[Thug Bubbles]

Thievery Corporation is the best at this sort of thing, IMO. All arists on the ESL label are really damned good. Maybe not trip-hop as much as acid-jazz/lounge music, but it's a sub-set of trip-hop to many.

Thievery Corporation - Richest Man in Babylon and Lebanse Blonde are my two favorites from them.

Thunderball and Federico Aubele are other standouts

Federico Aubele - Postales

Thunderball

Here's a Solar Stone remix of that same song: Southern Sun (Chillout Mix). Keep in mind you're missing alot of subtle sounds from the youtube compression. On a quality system this song is incredible.

Hey, cool thread, I like a lot of this stuff.

No mention of the old Sneaker Pimp's yet? Maybe only trip-hop influenced and a bit lighter but I come back to the Becoming X album quite often, lots of good stuff in there.
