Mazzy Star - Fade into you



This unexpected hit was what really put Mazzy Star and vocalist Hope Sandoval on the map of pop music consciousness when it was used in a number of TV and movie soundtracks, most notably "Starship Troopers" which had the track playing over a bar fight in an ironic, tongue in cheek twist.

Powered by Hope's amazing, unforgettable vocals, "Fade into you" is one of those rich, ethereal tracks that never seems to age even though it was first released in 1993 on the album "So that tonight I might see". When the Rough Guide to Rock described Mazzy Star's music, "comfortably numb" were their words of choice. I think it's a pretty accurate description.
