Yes it's all true i'm afraid. I however will discuss the latter of the definitions.

Bonobo is a favorite. I work, play, chill, think, everything to this music. I would feel remiss as a fan by tainting your first impression of the music with some poorly articulated explanation of why I like him so much. What I will say, is that I have A LOT of memories attached to these songs. Distinct, vivid memories. Because I often play it in the 'background', it is not until I listened to the songs later that I associate it with specific memories.

I have an aaaaaaaamazing memory associated with this song
(from the album 'Dial M for Monkey'... a nod to the chimpanzee I suppose)



And this one... I dance to. I stop what i'm doing (as long as i'm alone) and go back to my roots as a dancer and express the hell out of myself. For some reason now every time I hear this song I think of the time on the last Antarctic cruise I was up late working all by myself with my headphones in... I heard this song and just stopped what I was doing and started movin'...
(From the album Days to Come)
