TAKE ME HOME PREVIEW
March 7th, 2006 by rui
In advance of the ‘Take Me Home’ preview party at The Big Chill Bar, Pete Lawrence talked us through the tracks on this first installment of the new compilation series from Big Chill Recordings.
Pan Electric – Rising Slowly
A masterful slow burner from Fragile State guitarist Matt Coldrick.
The Beaufort Scale – Sevestapol
This beauty came to light via The Big Chill forum ‘Purple People’ collection and quickly became an anthem.
Jon Hopkins – Glasstop
One of my favourite up and coming producers, the perfect balance between electronic and organic.
Lunz – Lunz (Adem’s Lunz)
The original was amazing, but on this version, Adem’s vocal adds the icing the the cake.
Tom Greenwood – Silent Running
An original compelling guitarist who plucks a mean and highly memorable tune[/b]
Andreas Vollenweider – Moonday
I fell for the Swiss harp wizard’s music over a decade ago and it is still resonant today.
The Verbrilli Sound – Honey Czars (Alucidnation remix)
Canada’s finest, bar none! Given a superb makover by Big Chill Recordings’ Alucidnation. His best ever remix.
Animat – Signwave
An ambient collective from Sheffield sounding like The Stylistics. Glambient anyone?
Digitonal – A Lighter Touch (Taken Home mix)
Andy Dobson and co’s haunting electronica exclusively remixed for this compilation.
Sebastien Tellier – La Ritournelle (Mr Dan’s Magic Wand remix)
A festival favourite for the last two years.
George Chatzis – After Paros Island
Gifted, young and Greek, this is the sound of the sunshine island.
Telefuzz and Laura B – Tasp
From the stable of Don Verbrilli, Laura B’s understated vocals make this epic track.
Blu Mar Ten – Black Water
A pulsing groove takes off as the mix reaches a (chilled) climax.
Dollboy – I Only Have Eyes For You
Celestial harmonies meet warped vocals on this 30′s standard.
Raining Pleasure – Swinging Troubles
Ragtime meets Dixieland with a contemporary Greek twist.
