so, now your tastes moved more or less closer to the mainstream?..
Speaking of the sun music, I would definitely prefer 'Bubamara' (sunflower) from Goran Bregovich... or the vibes like 'Setting the Sun' by The Chemical Brothers ... or even alternative indie rock from Placebo - 'Battle for the Sun'.
Texas song is incredibly good, but I get used to it so much. (Oh, and as they joke, when you know you have such a huge hit in your pocket, you really can release any shitty video you like - it doesnt matter!)
What's about the last one, by Faithless. Watching the video, I had a solid impression it is a nowadays AI video production, added to an old song with minimum efforts and budget. Am I correct?

ps.
the cover image gave me 100% associations with Pizzicarella dance... which is a cool thing, I am a big fan!
