The latest in the Sunday Snooze series. This one is quit an acoustic trip. Lots of nice vocal tracks, some happy, some very, very sad. But all in all a nice journey. The person speaking in the beginning is non other that Damien Rice, a great Irish artist who has feature on most of the mixes in this series, talking about how he gets inspired. Words to live by. Enjoy.

The third in the Sunday Snooze series. Going back to the original format compared to the weird and wonderful ambient Sunday Snooze II. This version is an exploration in great vocal acoustic songs. Lots of happy moments, simple lyrics with a strong message. Good to have in the background on a long Sunday drive in the country.

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 I originally made it in 1999 but made a redux in 2002.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.
