I'm an anti-genre!

[Little instrumental]
Rob Dougan, someone who you don't really hear much from these days, whose only/debut album, I stumbled (oooh the iTunes random) back on. Dougan, from Sydney, was famous before he even considered releasing an album or even making an attempt at a compositional career. Clubbed to Death (the only song we know by Rob Dougan) was picked up in a London nightclub and exploded into one of the most TV/Movie friendly backing tracks ever. From Guiness adverts to blockbuster films (Matrix anyone?), it came to a point where you simply couldn't get away from it if you pressed your TV's on button. He finally released his only album in 2002 (7 years after Clubbed to Death), Furious Angels, with mixed reports. The tracks all featured the heavy orchestral features of of his hit movie-single but not quite the punchy dance rhythm, and unfortunately his album was litterally "Clubbed to death!". The album itself was actually very well put together, and given Dougan's voice isn't the most friendly he even included instrumental versions of all his songs! Dougan is back writing material for his second album and is also writing tunes for the Sugababes? Insane!
