I definitely agree with the votes for the Bristol Sound. I love Massive Attack and my current girlfriend is a Portishead fan from way back. Grab a couple of scotches, a little weed, dim the lights, and put on Glory Box or indeed any song from the Dummy CD and it is all on.
One of my previous girlfriends was really into Jean Michel Jarre and to be fair it does sound great on a good stereo, even if a little "kitschy". However making out to tracks on the album Oxygene always had me worred that Mel Gibson was going to come over a sand dune and stick a bayonet up my ass. Although that could be a Australia / New Zealand thing since we have the film Gallipoli and its soundtrack encoded into our DNA at birth.
