Someone please remind me to try speeding up "Night Air" so that it sounds like an old italo record.

I heard a terrific straight house mix of Lady Luck last month, but it doesn't appear to be any of the ones that are knocking around on the internet.

i really like the hudmo remix of "lady luck"

I've had no inclination to go back to the album since I first heard it hungover to death on the slowest busiest train from Brighton to London at about 6.30am with no sleep. Somehow these associations linger. I really love Night Air - I love the little "Thriller"-style bassline that comes in right towards the end.

I think he's been doing some production work but haven't heard a peep from him solo-wise.

that's strange... only this evening, i decided to dig out 'night air' for the first time since it came out and wondered the same as JF

I liked the song he did with Banks, but that's all I've heard him do since his own lp.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 01:46 (nine years ago) link

He was on the Disclosure album!

yeah that's actually my personal fav from the disclosure album tbh

uxorious gazumping (monotony), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 20:43 (nine years ago) link

Here's where I admit I never spent a ton of time with that Disclosure lp.

The Lewis Taylor influence is v obvious across the span of the album.

Indeed. That's what i call a groove. This guy has more soul in his voice than stevie wonder.

it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Saturday, 17 October 2015 17:30 (eight years ago) link

<3 Jamie so much but that's....quite a statement!

LOVE that fast pause just before the 2 minute mark.

New album is up on Spotify, haven't had the chance to check it out yet.

ok lol.

been listening to this a lot though, it's nice. really like the live band sound, particularly because the arrangements are really meticulous and it sounds like they're emulating more of an electronic approach.

two years pass...

Mirrorwriting still holds up better than most things from 2011, as I'm discovering tonight.
