History Music / RobDougan

Australian musician whose signature style is a dark blend of electronics and orchestra. To date he has completed only one album, 2002's ''Furious Angels'', which includes his most famous calling card "Clubbed To Death" together with a load of other tracks you definitely ''will'' have heard in the background of TV and film. Apart from the album, he hasn't done a lot else under his own name (one original track on ''TheMatrix Reloaded'' soundtrack and an uncharacteristic hard house style early single "Hard Times").

* DrunkenSong: "Drinking Song"

* [[ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic Harmless Musician, Scary Music]]
* HarshVocals

* NotGoodWithRejection: The narrator of the song "Furious Angels".
* [[OneBookAuthor One Album Artist]]: Subject to revision of course, but ''Furious Angels'' came out in 2002 and there's still no sign of a follow-up.

* StandardSnippet: "Clubbed To Death" was used so much as tension music on TV, it became a cliche. "Furious Angels" is almost as bad, being called upon whenever someone wants a track with the feel of "Clubbed To Death" without actually being "Clubbed To Death".

* ExecutiveMeddling: Averted. One of the reasons that ''Furious Angels'' took so long to make was that Rob decided he didn't want to deal with this and so made - and funded - it himself without label backing. And those orchestras don't come cheap.

* HitlessHitAlbum: ''Furious Angels'' was this when it came out. A couple of years later, a reissue of "Clubbed to Death" hobbled into the top 30, but it was never a huge hit single.

* ReclusiveArtist

* [[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment The Shelf of Music Languishment]]: One of the few things Rob is known to have done since ''Furious Angels'' is a remix of Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" (complete with newly-recorded orchestra). However, the Sinatra remix project for which was commissioned was abandoned and the track has never seen the light of day.

* AlbumTitleTrack: The literally-named "Prelude".

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Instrumental" is an instrumental (in fact it's a strings-only version of "One And The Same"); "Pause" is a silent pause between actual songs.

* OlderThanTheyThink: No, "Clubbed To Death" didn't originate with ''TheMatrix''. Nor were "I'm Not Driving Anymore" or "There's Only Me" created for ''LawAndOrder''.
