OMG. Found Amiel again. Loved her Round and Round which I got months ago on a random JP playlist. Some dudes included her on a video parodying the universal usage of 4 chords, so I looked up the song they quoted and its actually a really good song. What was weird was that she was signed to Ministry of Sound, which I thought was purely house/prog/electro type stuff… so I looked her up to find out why they signed her. Turns out her last name is Daemion (super cool) and she was one half of Addicted to Bass, a drum and bass song I’ve been crushing on for years. A few years ago they remixed the song and filmed a Mad Max tribute as the music video. Hot. She also did Meet Me in the Red Room from Moulin Rouge. The stupid part comes next. Apparently her CDs were released in Japan by Sony, and so Australia, where she’s based out of, actually had to import her initial releases. Other than Addicted to Bass, of course, which did some major selling in Australia but wasn’t her solo stuff. I (as a potential customer myself) looked on Amazon and a few other major music websites and found out that I can only buy imports. They don’t make her stuff easy to get and at reasonable prices here in the States, not for CD purchase or download… bah. So fingers crossed… it only took Amazon one whole year to get Ladyhawke over here – and that was with some major publicity work from her end. I don’t think Amiel’s been that pushy.
