Recollection Collection......musical memories recalled with affection!
Jamie Woon....Night Air....A great piece of minimalist electronica. A very atmospheric track, soundscape courtesy of dubstep pioneer, Burial. Mr Woon's voice completes a near perfect track, which is sombre, haunting and sexy all at the same time. And just as the track is moving along swimmingly towards the end, the beat kicks in, a killer finishing move. I love it! The video is very reminiscent of Talk Talk's 'Life's What You Make it' which is another of my all time favourites.

Danay Suarez....She's hot, she can sing, she can rap, she can move....BOOM!
A beautiful song. proving less is more. Danay's sultry voice, a simple piano riff and some congas produce this wonderfully atmospheric tune which had me hooked from the off. What drew me to Danay was the contrast of her singing to her rapping as she switches effortlessly from one to the other. Beautiful yet gritty like Havana. So Danay.....next time I'm in Cuba....Mojitos on me love.
Goosepimple inducing stuff, I lifted this off Gilles Peterson's Havana Cultura album which showcases some of Cuba's modern artists. From classic Cuban Son to Hip-Hop and Reggaeton, it's all good.
Thursday I'm in love.....a chance to share my favourite tracks.
