Came across this fantastic link of a live performance of the epic Cinematic Orchestra song “Build a home”. What a talent. To be able to captivate a room, and even to captive me, in a little 450 by 300 pixel Youtube video window. I’ve always been a fan of these guys but this album has a really mature sound to it.

The second in the Sunday Snooze series. This is quite a different route to the other Sunday Snooze mixes. It is very ambient, lots of soundscapes, sweeps and weird noises. But, it still manages to retain that relaxed spaced out vibe. I originally made it in 1999 but made a redux in 2002. It was made for those ‘chemical’ mornings where you want the daylight to go away so you can re-live the previous night. You can’t sleep, but you can fall into that state of paralysis between reality and god knows where…. Hence the name ‘chemical snooze’

The first in the Sunday Snooze series. Firstly, unlike the other mixes on soulshine, Sunday Snooze is more a mix tape, or a compilation of tracks that compliment each other. The series was inspired by that fantastic sound a simple guitar and a smokey atmospheric voice can make. Although it has a lot more than just that, it is the essence of most Sunday Snooze mixes. Many songs provoke different memories, good, bad, happy and sad. And they all trigger a chord for me. Wether it be a past girlfriend, and missed family member, or just a giggle at a stupid simple something. Best listened to on a warm sunny afternoon.
