For getting right down to the real nitty gritty there are two albums by Alpha on the Melankolic label, ‘Come From Heaven’ and ‘Pepper’- both have been road tested by me and my friends (separately) and have never failed to deliver.

http://www.theiceberg.com/artist/31164/alpha.html

Harold Budd’s lush jazz-inspired soundscapes on ‘The Pavilion of Dreams’, especially the two tracks, one adapted from a Pharoah Sanders track, the other from a John Coltrane track, are definitely torrid zone contenders.

Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ and ‘Midnight Love’ are also obvious choices (the former has been re-released with a whole c.d. of new material) as is John Coltrane’s ‘A Love Supreme’- it bridges the gap between sacred and profane love very well indeed.

For the frenzied attack (The Postman Always Rings Twice scenario) I’d recommend Cabaret Voltaire’s ‘2 X 45’ album, especially the tracks ‘Protection’ and ‘Get Out of My Face’- for those times when clothes simply get in the way, and a kitchen table is better than a futon...

Individual tracks I put on compilation c.d.s include:

Craig Armstrong: Weather Storm
Massive Attack: Angel
Bill Withers: Ain’t No Sunshine
Nina Simone: Sinnerman and Don’t Smoke in Bed
Roberta Flack: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
M.F.S.B.: Love Is The Message
Isaac Hayes: Walk On By
Donna Summer: I Feel Love
Talking Heads: The Great Curve and Take Me To The River (live)
Brian Eno/David Byrne: Jezebel Spirit (original version)
The Passions: I’m In Love With A German Film Star
Magazine: The Light Pours Out Of Me
Lisa Germano: Happiness
Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger: Wheel’s On Fire
Roxy Music: For Your Pleasure and The Bogus Man and Both Ends Burning (live)
Erma Franklin: Piece of My Heart
Erin O’Hara: Down in the Valley
William Orbit: Water From A Vine Leaf
Kate Bush: The Sensual World
Massive Attack and Madonna: I Want You
Grace Jones: Use Me and Walking in the Rain and Pull Up To The Bumper
Phoebe Snow: Every Night
Tracy Thorn and Massive Attack: The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
P.J. Harvey: One Time Too Many and Long Snake Moan
Moloko: The Time Is Now
Morcheeba: Fear and Love
David Bowie: Can You Hear Me ? and Fascination
Bryan Ferry: Feel the Need and What Goes On

There are some excellent rude blues compilations, C.B.S. released two, I think, called Raunchy Blues, well worth investigating.

As is Julia Lee’s entire oeuvre.

You can’t go far wrong with the seductive sounds of Dinah Washington, either.

Molly gets the award for best organised.
As for Lazarus and the Gimp, I wouldn't recognise a single one of those.

I guess my fondest memory goes to Catfish's first album "Unlimited Address", but any decent trance or trip hop would do nicely.

Slow to crescendo would be "Golden Ball", by Stereolab.

Although Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting" album had some good tunes for this.

And a friend of mine has an album called, "Music to make love to your old lady by."

Vangelis

The cover of "Tainted Love" by Marilyn Manson. Killswitch Engage's "When Darkness Falls" was pretty cool too. Anything on the Metallica "S&M" album is good!

Avoid Led Zep like the plague, otherwise we men WILL get up and play air guitar. Its not like we have an option.

Just recently. I was playing Conquests and a girl I hadn't seen in a while stopped by. I just let it run in the background (end of turn) and one thing led to another

It was good though, added a certain element. Imagine - Civ + Women. What else do you need in life?

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've forwarded them onto my brother, who will be putting them to use very soon. He will arrive at his girlfriend's house tomorrow morning (Wednesday) and they're going to go "shopping" together for Thanksgiving in a nearby hotel and mall for a day.

Let's wish him good luck in absentia. He tells me this is likely to be his first time.

Well far be it from me to call attention to my own post but...

Isaac Hayes's version of 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix' is definitely worth mentioning, as is his version of 'Ain't No Sunshine' on part 1 of the Wattstax soundtrack albums.

But certainly almost the whole of the 'Hot Buttered Soul' album and 'Joy' and 'Black Moses' are definitely getting down and dirty music.

A big yes to Barry White, and also a thumbs up for Hot Chocolate- tracks such as 'Emma' and 'Heaven is the Backseat of My Cadillac'.

Sarah Vaughan also made excellent music for explorations of the torrid zones.
