Various Artists - Late Night Tales: Friendly Fires - [Vinyl]

Late Night Tales reaches the big 3 - 0 and what a way to celebrate, with a landmark edition from the effervescent Friendly Fires. The opening third is pitched firmly on the up, tripping back through disco�s global strands with Ontario�s Junior Boys, 80s Dutch proto-house by Ren�e, Grammy Award winning Joe Simon, the erotically charged disco funk odyssey �Carry On, Turn Me On� by French outfit Space and anthemic porn-disco �Fly Like An Eagle� by Dennis Parker. Taking a left turn via the always welcome art-pop auteurs Bibio and Stereolab, the familiar chimes of �Hold On� by SBTRKT ring onto Friendly Fires� exclusive cover version of the �78 electronic classic �Why Don't You Answer� by Eberhard Schoener and Sting. We also see a brace of fresh 2012 releases in the form of Iron Galaxy �Attention Seeker� and Melody Echo Chamber �Endless Shore�. On the home leg, Grouper�s acoustic minimalism attracts the shoegazing daydreams of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive before Friendly Fires take it home with the seemingly unmanageable arrangement of Olivia Newton John into German neo-classical composer Nils Frahm. Tucking you in, Late Night Tales begin a new bedtime story �Flat Of Angles� narrated by new storyteller Benedict Cumberbatch.
