Moodswings is a musical duo composed of Grant Showbiz and James F.T. Hood. Grant Showbiz was a onetime roadie and guitar tech who later produced albums by The Smiths, Billy Bragg, Silverfish, and Gong. James Hood was a former drummer for The Pretenders, The Impossible Dreamers, Kid Creole & the Coconuts and Jeff Beck. After Showbiz and Hood teamed up in 1989, the duo released the album ''Moodfood'' (Arista/BMG, 1992), which scored a hit with a remade single of "Spiritual High (State of Independence) Pt. II," which featured vocals by Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders). "Spiritual High Pt. III," from the same album, featured samples from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. "Spiritual High II" was played during the closing credits of the 1992 Bridget Fonda film ''Single White Female'', and was included on The Pretenders' 2000 album ''Greatest Hits''. The ''Live at Leeds'' EP (Arista) followed in 1994 (with artwork styled after the album by the Who of the same name), and in 1997, the group released ''Psychedelicatessen'' (Arista/BMG), which featured vocals from Tanita Tikaram, on the song "Oh Happy Day". Grant Showbiz was a member of Moodswings up until the album ''Horizontal'', which James Hood solo-produced (Varèse Sarabande, 2002). Julee Cruise sings vocals on two tracks from ''Horizontal'': "Seems to Remind Me" and "Into the Blue." James Hood contributed "Storm in a Teacup" from the same album for the 2005 documentary ''Do You Believe? Another World is Possible''. ==Discography== * ''Moodfood'' (1992) * ''Live at Leeds'' (1994) * ''Psychedelicatessen'' (1997) * ''Horizontal'' (2002) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moodswings (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
