Greetings,
Hope you're all doing okay. Heatwave is over here in Amsterdam, so we're back to the regular summer selection of sunny patches and showers, which is okay, I guess. Seems like we've reached the streaming festival highpoint of the summer, as Lowlands, Green Man, Fuji Rock and many others are filling up the net with stuff - here, we have been enjoying We Out Here's stuff especially, a fine selection of bopping tunes. So there's that.
Last week chez #LC, found me @kleptones unexpectedly dropped into the chair as @JimMcCauley battled computer problems, so everyone got a dose of sunny-day 90s electronico in the shape of Ultramarine's "Every Man And Woman Is A Star", which went down pretty well, I think. Looks like Jim is back in action again now, which is good news, so over to him for tonight's intro..."The 2003 August bank holiday was a weird one for me; the tipping point of a lost weekend of a year that was a lot of fun but that all got a bit too much. It began on the Friday evening when a friend showed up with this, a leaked copy of an upcoming second album; after that it’s all something of a blur.
I remember the threatening skies on the Monday afternoon, the feeling that something wasn’t right and the unshakeable notion that a new year had just started. Things got dark for quite a while after that, and this album fitted my state of mind perfectly.
If you already know this album then you’ll find it slightly different thanks to a presumably uncleared sample that must have been pulled at the very last minute. And there’s a little audio glitch in there at one point that must have been some form of rudimentary digital fingerprinting; fat lot of good that did. I bought the album proper when it came out, but I still come back to this version.
Enjoy!"
