I've included a trio of selections here, but please take it as read that I'm suggesting you buy the complete album/EP as they're all good!
Let Me Down Gently (10:40's Torn Parachute Dub): Spacemen 3 (from the Sleepwalker EP)
The Universal Energy Within (Mytron Remix By Jacek Janiszewski): Dan Wainwright (from The Universal Energy Within EP)
What Do You See In Me (Dubapella): Andres Y Xavi ft. Rolo McGinty (from Higher Love Vol. 1 by various artists)
The Limiñanas are just exploding my brain cells this year with every track I hear from their Laurent Garnier album. Au Début, C'était Le Début makes me think of what The Velvet Underground might have done with a studio full of synth effects. The song is timeless.
ReplyDeleteI have Swiss Adam and Walter to thank for switching me on to the (then) upcoming Limiñanas/Garnier album. I pre-ordered and I've played it constantly since it arrived in September. I've read reviews comparing the album to The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas, which I get. The point I think the reviewers miss there is that this is a perfect example of two artists/producers coming together from different directions and heading off on a new route. You can recognise The Limiñanas and Laurent Garnier's character in the music, but what they've produced here is something even greater. A highlight in a year of excellent albums.
