55/100 Video - "Missing" - Everything But The Girl (1995)

A haunting and timeless track, "Missing" by Everything But The Girl is house music exploring a sad theme.

Tracey Thorn's emotive vocal  combined with a pensive video perfectly captures the essence of loneliness and bittersweet memories. Sadness and acceptance.


And the bridge hits you like a train. 

In the video, Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt sit in separate London apartments as Tracey sings about missing her boyfriend while walking through London neighborhoods.

1995 - "Insomnia" - Faithless

Club music exploded in a decade best remembered by the sheer diversity of genres. House, techno and euro dance played incessantly in the clubs.  

"Insomnia" is two tracks for the price of one: the tense atmosphere and paranoia of the first half contrasts with the pulsing sensory rush of the second. Strobe lights flash and joyous exhilaration flood back when the iconic synth arpeggio kicks in at 2:16. 

This is the quintessential club anthem of a decade filled with them.

Other favourites from 1995: 

"Machinehead" – Bush

"Wonderwall" – Oasis 

"Missing" – Everything But The Girl 

"Hand In My Pocket" – Alanis Morissette

"Born Slippy" – Underworld
