Slowed and Reverb(ed): A List in Progress

Over the last two weeks I've become acquainted with an entire genre of slowed and reverbed songs, many of which are versions of pop and R&B hits of the seventies, eighties, and nineties. The videos often feature clips from anime of the same period. Here I'll share some of my favorites:

Angela Bofill, "In Your Lover's Eyes."

Ten-twenty-seven p.m. as I first heard, and heard of, this song. From Intuition (Capitol, 1988). Very lush, like a spritz of Opium perfume.

I just found this song twenty minutes ago. It's the title track from Let Me Be the One (Arista, 1984). Released on 8 February 1985, the single was produced by The System.



"Love Me For Today" was the single's B side.
