Fresh Faves: Batch 612

updated on Leave a Comment on Fresh Faves: Batch 612

AROUND ABOUT DUSK- without you Around About Dusk · Without You This has such a World War II era jazz feel to it, none of the gloss that came later on, but the kind you’d expect in the background of a period drama. This could be playing in the background on a grainy gramophone, at …

AZU YUCHE – Weak Azu Yeché · Weak Azu Yeché opens the faves this week with something a little special.. This has the classic soul around it, I’d even go as far as to say this has neo soul vibes – it reminds me of D’Angelo with those guitar licks! Clean tone! Add to that …

Track Of The Day – “I Want You To Stay” – Carol Jarvis

updated on

Carol Jarvis is back with a tune that showcases both her voice and her trombone playing, she came on my radar with a track called “In My Veins” which was my track of the year at the time it came out. This is a house track, it starts off all atmospheric, before it drops into …

Chillout Track Of The Day “To Face The Truth” Pet Shop Boys

updated on

I recently had a chat online with @weeblade about @petshopboys and it made me think of this song. It was never released as a single, but was on their Behaviour album from 1990. This is typical of that era of the PSBs, it’s moody, and having been recorded on analog synths, it gives off that warmth. Lyrically it’s …

Single Review: “Holding Back The Tears” – Take That

updated on

It’s been 30 years since @takethat released their third album “Nobody Else” and it shows how far things have come. In that time, Robbie Williams left, the band split up some time after that, all had successful solo careers and even reunited – something no one ever saw coming – first without Robbie and then …

Review: “Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme)” – John Williams

updated on

You can always recognise a John Williams soundtrack. There’s always an Easter egg from another. Or just the sheer ferocity. Or the romantic tenderness. It’s hard to pin down a favourite piece by him, but this one stands out.  Subtitled Darth Vader’s theme, this is written for the main villain in the original trilogy,  what …
