maybe its an influence from traditional irish music which uses a lot of those timings or something...that would seem to me a logical explanation of the 6/8 thing

Hi Ubik!It's wierd you should mention that. I have noticed that as well. Pesonally I fell in love with that 6/8 vibe about6 years ago andI think maybeGrace by Jeff Buckley (who also recorded many 6/8 songs)was the song that made me aware of the fantastic groove of 6/8. I have also always loved Irish folk music as well! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]Edited by: Magnus |

it's not traditional irish music at all, but folk rock too: a lot of david gray's old stuff also has that beat and feeling to them.
