Right then, music isnt it, you know - marvellous. Small boys, in the park, stereos for goalposts. Or something.
Better crack on, no need for spurious waffle, but hey when has that ever stopped me...
Sullivan:
London can take it - love this, so unusual, so epic and so sombre. Great music as a backdrop. Top tune if a little quirky.
Chrome Cavities - again slightly unusual to these ears. Not sure I really like the vocal to be honest, not a bad tune but not sure about the chimes either now I mention it...
Daybreak - very summery, very balearic, not really my cup of tea but would sound good in a bar or possibly while out driving.
The Simple Life - A heroin tune eh ? Praise indeed. Can see why you like it, and it again has a summer tinge I reckon. Has some nice touches to it, especially the vocal lick and the strings - a meatier bassier remix would nail it for me, but it is very good.
We are you in the Future - Its ok. Just not really for me I dont think.
Hodgson:
Sunset - minimal indeed, but that vocal hook is infectious, has been running around my head. Very nice warm up tune.
Telemachus - if im honest H I would have given up on this track as being too minimal if it wasnt for your chat. Does go somewhat Vangelis (although much more minimal) in the second half, which is infinitely better for it.
Wallace - Can see how this would be huge in a club, not sure it really translates otherwise, but can see how it all got a bit bouncy - top tune that somehow manages to be subtle and big at the same time
Hot on the Heels of Love - You're right about this being a marmite track mate, and it doesnt half have some production to it. Not really sure whether I like it or not ! Has some nice elements and its a cracking end of mix tune. Hmmm I think I like it, but couldnt really say why...
And I will kiss - Enormous. In many senses the biggest record thats ever appeared on DHS.
Well however can I follow that lot. I shall try...
Junior Parker 'Tomorrow Never Knows'
So moody, and the vocal just fits it perfectly, its just smooth and so laid back. Hunted it down after the Chems used it as their set opener while they took to the stage - to be followed by Hey Boy Hey Girl no less !
Sky 'Westway'
The old man used to hammer their stuff in the car way back when, been waiting for it for ages on spot. This record is very 70's but also not very far removed from a prog house track I reckon - simple and very effective. Love that bassline.
Guido Percich 'Guido'
From the recent TOTO2 mix.
Bicep & Ejeca 'You (Original Mix)'
You're welcome.
Sigur Ros 'Untitled #8'
So Tuesday was a shocker, an appalling day. Shit happened at work, my footy team was being stuffed and a bird I thought had promise had told me she wanted to be friends, and bollocks to the first 2 but the 3rd one stung a bit and overall I felt properly shit. I emailed Sully, he said load up spot and stick ( ) on the headphones start to finish. Which I did. I'd forgotten the great magnificence of this album - for me their best (but its close with Takk and Agaetis) and its at its most potent when you listen to it all. And this track is immense, I mean utterly fucking immense. Its the negative of #3 I reckon (which stunningly isnt on DHS and might very well be the closer to DHS 10 if I have anything to do with it) and just cover all the bases, so emotional, so epic. From 6 minutes on it just fucking well transcends music - its like an aural orgasm. I mean well, I dont think I really have the words. Just listen. Loud. God Bless you Mr Sullivan.
One love my brothers, music is always the answer.
