A friend of mine lent me a copy of A Snapshot from Domino Records 2007 recently. The sampler is a oft overlooked way to discover new music and this is no exception. It's a collection of music that you might describe as 'quiet avant-garde'. Too edgy to be considered for the umpteen Chilled Ibiza compilations but too pleasant on the ear to satisfy the Bauhaus purists.
I loved it and in particular this track from The Cinematic Orchestra (which turns out to be the most poppy thing on there - I must be getting old).
The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home
I've been on emusic and it looks like these guys have an extensive back catalogue (including a collaboration with the always brilliant Roots Manuva). I love it when that happens.
An obsession begins? I'll let you know.
