The warm and gentle breeze of the Parisian spring is complemented by the gorgeous string cascade opening of IN SPACE from Norwegian act R╓YSKOPP. you could improvise, as suggested by PLASTYC BUDDHA, and slip into HAMMOCK HARMONY part 2 fluid synths and rich electric keys. A subtle phasing drumkit loop pins GUARDNER's SOMEDAY (IN MY LIFE) to a growling bass line. Ethereal vocals and keys sit perfectly into Marcus Schmahl's subtle mix. MUKI's international hit I DON'T WANT TO KNOW is included as a vital ingredient to this collection - the beautiful John Martyn penned melody is given tasteful treatment with Nick Faber's remix. TESSIO is a tale of love gone wrong and LUOMO's optimistic treatment drives the bass over subtle synthy love bumps. MONO DELUXE slow down the pace with the hazy DREAM BAG. Reverberating piano chords complement aching flute over producer Alessandro Oliviero's funky slap bass groove. Evolving into the stunning Stuph Mix of THE EGG'S LOST AT SEA, rich complex instrumentation slowly navigates across the dark seascape. KAITO by JASMON stretches out beneath an ambient bed of guitar lines, topped of with solitary violin. Brighton based Ken Reeves Lailey take FXU into the head-nodding territory and VASTES OMBRES amalgamates Hammond, tenor sax, tablas and overblown flute, into an evocative boulevard skyline sunset. WEATHERTUNES, from the quality label Peacelounge Recordings, stay in positive mood with OUI, with acoustic guitar urging the track over a funky break layered with vibey Rhodes. Memories of banned airplay time around with SVEN V─TH and MISS KITTIN's JE T'AIME...MOI NON PLUS, served in a curious synth plodded style, the song retains all the simmering 'frisson' of the 60's original. Dropping into minor key, HERBERT'S IT'S ONLY is a complex, haunting track. Strange percussive sounds sit under a sonorous flute and trumpet counterpoint. CHEWIN' THE CHEW-Z is a trademark TOM TYLER. Returning to the zone, Tom treats us to a deep and moody vibe, minimal tenor sax drifting over the warm bassline and pads. We drift off with rising star Simon Green known as BONOBO - another major Brighton talent. THe emotive sounds of THE PLUG conclude this elegant and cosmopolitan selection. - Tracklisting - 01 R÷yskopp - In Space 02 Hammock Harmony Pt. 2 - Plastyc Buddha 03 Guardner - Someday (In My Life) 04 Muki - I Don't Want To Know 05 Luomo - Tessio 06 Mono Deluxe - Dream Bag 07 The Egg - Lost At Sea (Stuph Mix) 08 Jasmon - Kaito 09 FXU - Vastes Ombres 10 Weathertunes - Oui 11 Sven Vaeth ft.
