Afternoon all - the demands of fatherhood mean that for once, I'm going to keep this mercifully short.

The Pop Kids - not for me
Inner Sanctum - It's cafe del mar meets age of love! Not a bad tune but not a fan of the lyrics, a bit too kitsch for me.
Moving on - Wonderful song, especially if you've watched the video. Great melodies and hooks as you'd expect from James - proper uplifting business - onto the master list.
Curse Curse - Another big anthemic tune from James - more good stuff
Winter's Eve - Taking it down several notches, this is a lovely tune but that you'd need to be in the right mood for. Reminds me of Shane McGowan.

Native Riddim - who doesn't like a piano with a 'yeah y'all' loop? The spoken word was surprising but gives it a more thoughtful vibe. Nice.
Ancient Lake - top tune that really grows into itself, it was only about halfway through that I thought I might like it.
Higher Level - Simple and very effective, love that hook.
Nothing - Nice production skills on display, it all rests on whether you like the treatment of the vocal I think, and I'm not sure about it. Good track for a deep mix.
Universal Love - hammered the shit out of this at the end of the 90's. Dated a bit but the quality shines through.

Some housey business from me:
Rampa - 'My Life'
Matthias Meyer - 'Uluwatu'
Matthias Meyer - 'Becuz' (not sure about the Hammond Organ-esque slide but the rest is top drawer)
Mind Against & Somne - 'Vertere'
Alex Niggemann - 'Siyawa'
