Loveslav - Back To Mine

Its way past midnight, swaying green palms, shimmering sea. The quiet sound of a perfect post party bliss. Friends surrounded by beautiful music.

This is my take on the legendary Back to Mine series. Some of my all time favorite tracks, b-sides and remixes spanning 4 decades of music. (various artists, 49:07)

Tracklist

01 The KLF - 3AM Eternal
Starting off with an early 90s gem, the original track is wrapped in a blissful downtempo Beaumont remix, sets the scene perfectly.

02 Jeremy Spencer Band - Cool Breeze
a 1979 rare find, I love this track for the melancholy guitar chords and sultry, powerful female vocals.

03 The System - Find It In Your Eyes
If you can take a dash of 2016 and mix it with 1983, serve it on ice, you would get The System's "Find It In Your Eyes" - a modern yet retro sounding kaleidoscope of sound, synth & bass tones collide with guitar riffs, producing something eerily familiar yet futuristic.

04 Ned Doheny - Get It Up For Love
A 1976 R&B slow jam. Love this track for its funky, fun arrangement.

05 Simply Red - Sunrise
Sunrise is a relatively recent 2003 gem, has some samples from Hall & Oates, has a classic sound of mid 80s synth pop

06 Sonya Spence - Let Love Flow
A beautiful gem from 1981, this reggae classic from Sonia Spence instantly warms up the room. Classic 80s Jamaican sound.

07 The Dynamics - 90% of Me Is You.
A 2007 release, I love this record for its smooth, trip-hop beats and flow.

08 Jamiroquai - Digital Vibrations
Off their 1996 now-classic Travelling Without Moving, Jamiroquai's digiridoo-based absolutely balls out trippy adventure into Outback Outerspace. Low-key guitars and Aborigine digiridoos = bliss.

09 Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
A worldwide hit in 1977, this mesmerizing work has a million clubland remixes. Has one of my all time favorite guitar build ups and riffs, around 3:20 into the track

10 James Last - Here Comes The Sun
A beautiful beach-soaked 2015 take on the 1971 Nina Simone classic

11 Limahl - Never Ending Story
Love this 1984 synth gem produced by Giorgio Moroder. Made famous by the childhood movie of same name.

12 Inva Mula - Il Dolce Suono
Made famous by the movie Fifth Element, this absolutely mesmerizing performance by Albanian singer Inva Mula is unforgettable. The song is from a famous Italian opera, Lucia Di Lammermoor, "Sweet Dream". This song gives me chills every time I hear, on par with Mozart's Duettino Sullaria or Ave Maria.

13 Psyche - Good Bye Horses (21st Century Mix)
A 1996 dark wave remix of 1988 Q Lazzarus classic. Pure synth bliss.

14 Ben Watt - New Year of Grace
Ben Watt and Tracy Throne (Everything But the Girl) have been releasing gold for 30 years, and this Watt's 2016 single is a haunting, beautiful work capping their brilliant career. A perfect way to end the night.
