Active Child - Evening Ceremony

For anyone that says that electronic music can’t be impossibly romantic and human, all we can suggest is that they haven’t listened to Active Child. Evening Ceremony, a track from the soundtrack of the film The Host (which we also understand somewhat ironically contains Ellie Goulding’s cover of Active Child’s Hanging On) finds Pat Grossi sounding a little insecure about a relationship or even if there could be a relationship at all . “Even if I wanted to love you, would you love me? Even if I wanted to fall for you, would you fall for me?" It’s a sublime slice of Vangelis styled mellow synth ambience, harp, electronic drum pads and distant chiming bells that will make you want to wrap yourself in someone’s arms and feel their warmth.
