Late night tales is a special series that gives artists and producers the opportunity to select their favorite tracks for home listening. The artists express their tastes and musical background and take the listener on a journey through their musical inspirations.
French outfit Air have taken up the latest challenge and my word haven’t they done well!
This is an absolute treasure of a compilation, so much so that the word compilation belittles the project in terms of great selection. Compilations normally proportion in the following way; 3 tracks you like, 4 you think are ok , and 8 that are of no importance to your life whatsoever!!
This Air selection is full of Gems from start to finish. Here is a few just to get you excited: The Cure ‘All Cats Are Grey’, Black Sabbath ‘Planet Caravan’, Scott Walker ‘The Old Mans Back Again’, Minnie Riperton ‘Loving You’, other features happen courtesy of The Troggs, Japan, Nina Rota, The Cleveland Orchestra and many more.
This is a lounge loving selection that provides melancholy, soulful, ambient and body warming properties, all of which have arrived just in time as the cold weather hits the country in an aggressive and raw stylee.
Worth your pocket money, and will definitely get you through a days cleaning or ironing!
