I've Lost All The Fears That Appeared In The Dark

I hadn't planned on posting any "best of 2021" lists just yet. Today's selection started off as a slightly downtempo, chilled mix as a reaction of sorts to yesterday's more frenetic festive fun. There's been so much good music this year that it ended up as a kind of alternative selection of some of my favourite albums, singles and remixes from the last 12 months. I've enthused about Andy Bell, Pye Corner Audio, Jane Weaver, Kelsey Lu, Dennis Bovell, Xan Tyler & Mad Professor, Richard Norris and SAULT previously, and this isn't the first selection to end with a remix of Walking In The Sun by Andres Y Xavi, but for a done-in-one-take sequence, I'm pretty happy with the end result. 
 
The world outside is still shrouded in fog and morning dew, but the sunshine is imbuing the haze with a golden glow that feels somewhat magical. I'll take that.

1) Pervitin (The Saw Torture) (Violeta Vicci Remix): The Orb
2) Ever New (Kelsey Lu's Transportation): Beverly Glenn-Copeland
3) Golden Ratio: Chez De Milo
4) For Alice: The Affectionate Punch
5) Lux: Jane Weaver
6) I Was Alone (Pye Corner Audio Remix): Andy Bell
7) Swanky Modes (Dennis Bovell DubMix Instrumental): JARV IS...
8) Left Dub: Xan Tyler & Mad Professor
9) Meet Me At Midnight (Justin Robertson's Temple Of Wonders Remix): D:Ream
10) Never Make Promises (Interlude): Little Simz
11) All Shall Be Well: The Anchoress
12) Alcohol: SAULT
13) Stay Here (Coyote Remix): Super FU
14) Water (Pulselovers Remix): Richard Norris ft. Bishi Bhattacharya
15) It's Kinda Funny (Cover of Josef K): Douglas MacIntyre
16) Quaquaversal: James Bright
17) Walking In The Sun (Xavi's Pianopella): Andres Y Xavi ft. Rolo McGinty

    1. Many thanks, Mike! I'm planning to keep the momentum going in 2022. Who knows, we may even get to a Julian Cope gig next year, if fortune is smiling! Best wishes to you and yours over the festive period.
