Cinematic Orchestra Live Clip

Cinematic Orchestra

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.

Sunday Snooze I

Podcast, Sunday Snooze Series, Vocals, Ambient, Acoustic No Comments »

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.

01. David Gray - January Rain
02. David Kitt - Hold Me Close
03. Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Music For A Found Harmonium
04. Future Pilot Aka - Maid Of The Loch
05. Lambchop - Up with people
06. Tindersticks - Can We Start Again
07. The Pastels - The Viaduct
08. Crustation - Purple (Air remix)
09. Air - Universal Traveller
10. Zero7 - Give it away
11. Lambchop - Steve McQueen
12. The White Stripes - youve got her in your pocket
13. Underworld - Blueski
14. Micheal Andrews - Mad World
15. Israel Kamakawiwoole - What A Wonderful World
16. Langley Schools Music Project - God Only Knows (The Beach Boys)
