I am posting this on the film score side of the board because 1) Combustible scored a film (the dreaded "Four Rooms"); and 2) their music is more cinematic than a lot of actual film music.
Combustible Edison were at the forefront of the so-called "Lounge" movement. Their debut album, "I Swinger," turned 25 in 2019.
When this little koala lived in Beantown, he would often trudge through the snow to see Combustible at the Green Street Grille in Cambridge or Johnny D's in Somerville.
For the uninitiated, I will use this thread to post some of their tracks that may appeal to fans of film music.
I am starting with a track from their debut, "Impact!"
Another by bassist Nick Cudahy, from their second album "Schizophonic."
Picture your beloved koala at the Green Street Grille drinking a pint of GUINESS, of all things, while Combustible played! I have not had a beer in more than 20 years!

I am jealous! I bet that was amazing!
Michael "The Millionaire" Cudahy also has three soundtrack "albums" available from CDBaby:
Downloads only, unfortunately, but one of the very few instances where I've deigned to purchase a download-only release -- the music is just that good. I was lucky to get them before CDBaby discontinued selling FLAC files and went exclusively mp3. Mostly shorter cues, full of cheesy goodness.
