Amor Electro: Influences

Amor Electro are known for their contemporary take on Portuguese stadium rock. Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy", which sets orchestra strings over a cool hip-house beat, is a clear antecedent to their heady, rhythmic—yet still subtle—approach to electronic sounds. And their debt to the sweeping balladry of Portuguese music is clear from GNR's "Bem Vindo ao Passado", a torch song they often cover.
