Various Artists - Late Night Tales: Bonobo - [Vinyl]

Stepping forward into the compilers spotlight for the 33rd edition of Late Night Tales is Simon Green - aka Bonobo - a musician, producer and DJ perfectly suited to soundtrack an evening spent reclining to some parallel beats.Six albums to the good (most recently �The North Borders� released earlier in 2013), Green has been on a winning streak since 2010�s breakthrough �Black Sands�, which has now sold in excess of 160,000 copies. Wrapped in delicately programmed drums, Green�s music is at once both sombre and reassuring. If what comes out the other end is the music of Bonobo, then this is the fuel that keeps the engine running: soul, jazz, classical, pop, funk, leftfield, rock. Pianos and brass are abundantly present. Our ivories are warmed and tickled by the classic, Bill Evans, and new school, with Matthew Bourne�s mournfully beautiful �Juliet� and Dustin O�Halloran�s �An Ending A Beginning�. The brass section comes courtesy of Menehan Street Band�s jazzy �The Traitor�, �Flipside� by the Hypnotic Brass Band. Exclusives include YouTube sensation �One Thing� by Peter & Kerry . Not only that, but there�s Bonobo�s special LNT cover version, a brilliant reading of Donovan�s �Get Thy Bearings�, As the light dims, the unsettling sounds of Lapalux or maybe even Shlomo pierce the misty evening air, before giving way to the ethereal splendour of Eddi Front�s �Gigantic� or even Nina�s paean to an imagined rural idyll �Baltimore�.
