Definitely not my cup of tea played once or 100 times
What kind of person is victimized by a song repeating on a free music streaming service?

I recall in Vancouver the late night DJ slipped out to the washroom (or whatever) and came back with the song (stairway to heaven was the go to the can song back in the day) skipping for 5 minutes in the opening bars of the song.
Shit happens... and must be dealt with haha ;-)
BillG, can you please play this 3-4 times in a row...just for old times sake? I was there on December 4, 2018 and remember.

Gosh! I never met anyone else who knows this band!! This was one of my cherished albums back when I still bought physical CD's. The shop had to specially import it! Thanks for the memories! <3

No doubt! Even though, according to the post, it isn't even words, as much as just vocalizations, it still has a catchy cool beat and, it just plain ole, sounds really good! I actually went from 8>9! Would love to have Bill & co. actually put another track of theirs into the rotation, just to hear what else they do!

Here's the deal: back in December 2018 we had an overnight server glitch that caused this song to be repeated for several hours. That generated a LOT of postings, both in our forum & in the song comments.
We addressed the issue in our forum -- and those posts remain up. However, song comments are intended for discussions about the songs & artists, not repetitive complaints about a server glitch that -- by the time most people read the comments -- is long gone & forgotten.
So rather than subject everyone who looks here for the expected content -- a discussion of the song -- to something entirely unrelated & (to them) irrelevant, we deleted all of those posts.
Hope that makes sense to you.
I remember that! I was out on a long peddle with the intention quieting my inner squirrel long enough to meditate. 60-odd KMs later, between the beautiful, hypnotic melody and hum of the tires, I eventually got to where I needed to be.
The playlist, as random as it seems, always meets me where, and, has gotten me through some darker days.
My wife and I have a great appreciation for the amazing service you and the missus put out. The grandkids do as well 😃

The Ekova entry on Wikipedia needs to mention Dec 4, 2018: The day RP glitched.
I have to disagree with BillG.... We shall never forget!

Good lord, this is terrible. And it’s an especially jarring and unpleasant segue from a beautiful piece by Elbow.
I wonder if the server glitch situation from December 2018 had an impact on the rating for this tune?

For a song to go on repeat over several hours, this one was a doozy! I mean, had it been Phish or The Grateful Dead, it might have been days before anyone noticed.
I love both Phish and the Dead but boy I laughed out loud...
Seems like the ratings for this tune suffered of that glitch as well.
Oh well, my parents were blown away by Shpongle in the early 00's, and when I gave them this album they rocked out too...
Easy 9 from yo boy

LOL, It's not fair that this has a 5.something rating.
Talk about a song to get stuck in your head...more or less...
Just getting back to being able to listen to this song again.
I remember "The Day RP Glitched" well.

I wonder how long it would've taken me to notice... or care. I'm sure I'd go half an hour before noticing if I were at work etc. and another hour before I felt like changing things up.

Yep, I was there, & lived to tell the tale. It drove me past insanity into a realm of sublime omniscience. No other song would have worked. And it was much cheaper than drugs.

Thanks for putting this post up Bill though. I remember I was at work and it was just bizarre, like something magic was going to happen after the n-th play :)
It was also funny that we'd be chatting across continents, on different time zones, to discuss what was going on.

Well I had the fortune to hear this song only once. Just now. And that's enough to earn a "1" from me. In fact I logged in just to make sure "sucko-barfo" is still an available option...

Well, I wasn't listening when the glitch happened. However, this song was captivating to me, so I ordered it used from Amazon for $1.58. So many interesting sounds. Love it.
The events of December 2018 have left me traumatized. Please play this as seldom as possible.
aahhhhh, what a night it was....so sad all the comments from that night are gone

Hey Lazarus where are you? I was just imagining myself and friends dancing naked to this song on top of a holy mountain...
...then taking selfie photos of ourselves...
... then sharing on social media...
.... then getting arrested by the authorities for defiling and disrespecting a religion and a nation...
...... then the diplomatic counsel intervenes...
........ then we all apologise profusely and say we did not realise the mountain was holy...
......... then we all slink home with out tails between our legs...

Ekova was a French-based trio, headed by American-born Dierdre Dubois, who originated the name. "Its roots are in echo, and ova, signifying the feminine side," she explains. "But it's not supposed to have a literal meaning, just a beautiful sound. I wanted a word I'd never heard before." Much of her lyricism shares the linguistic experimentalism/artistry of their name, with utterances floating in between Celtic, English, and Persian at times, as well as influences from Irish and English folk music.
Ah, Ovas, Echos, ... French. That explains it all.

Actually, the previous person was correct. The track that was played was "The Hop" by Radio Citizen
Not feeling it. Maybe in a dance club with some enhancements.
If I said, 'not good' it would be an understatement.
Sorry , but that gave me headache

I think this is an error with this song. I really liked it, some times it was presented as Anna Ternheim, now as Ekova. Actually is Radio Citizen feat Bajka - "The Hop". I hope to correct this.

In small doses...this is perfect! Can't imagine a whole hour or album of this in one sitting.
Catchy little tune. Sure it's not in Esperanto?

Right on. I love this group and haven't heard them for years. Cocteau Twins meets DJ remixing. Heaven's Dust is an even stronger album from them.

Lisa Gerrard did the same thing in her Dead Can Dance days, used her voice purely as an instrument. Used to drive me bonkers trying to figure out the language she was using until I twigged. This number is real toe-tapping fun, and indeed "rumbunctious" as someone else wrote. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

I read they are heavily influenced by the Cocteau Twins. Hence the gibberish. Doesn't bother me.
Note: There is an orange colored remix album with all of their songs from Heaven's Dust remixed by DJs (has a dragonfly on the front). It is FANTASTIC.

Oh I like it. I really like the singer.

I believe the Beatles did a few Mideast/Indian(sounding) tunes in their reign of rock and roll....listening to the sounds and not thinking of the regions it may have originated makes for quite a rewarding experience...sure beats the crap out of Rap!!!
I find this to be very compelling. I hear her singing "oh momma in September you can take a leap..."
Maybe it's just me and brain full of mondegreens, but I still like this track.

Wonderfully said. There's not much about this song, if anything, to appreciate. I feel like my ears are bleeding after having listened to it.
Too many half tones for me.
Yeah! I haven't heard this in forever! Does anyone else hear anything middleeastern about this song?
Good stuff/ It's like the chipper Cocteau Twin went to India...
