Lovely transition from Bim to Modha (this German duo has been on fire) keeping the sophisticated flow goin' - yup, I'll third that sentiment...
Will definitely be checking out more Modha. They're new to me so my way in was through the Allysha Joy connection.
Everyone's going to have to ease up on the sophistication thing now. Otherwise, I may feel compelled to invest in a selection of cravats, like my namesake and inspiration -

Ha ha ha - I now have a new movie on my list, and cool to know the name connection as well... For Modha, I fell in love with this track last year: https://modhask.bandcamp.com/track/find-me-underneath-the-sun-feat-okcandice
Nice, like that.
really enjoyed this marvelous collection, John /// "detroit red" really stood out! /// "the earth..." and "nevertheless" pairing was some of that "sophistication" P was talking about /// working in some dreamy frank zappa guitar work = genius! /// ...and a fab "one" to end on : D
cheers to you! -Alan

Thanks Alan π
I'm quite happy with the idea of people having half an ear on these sets while they cook dinner or work through a pile of ironing, but it's nice to get detailed feedback like yours as well.
@LordBrettHeadset Sometimes, I do only get half an ear engaged while I'm working through some deep automation software logic, but in this case I was in more of a script review mode prior to release which allows me to take more notice of grand sounds that attract my attention. Please keep dreaming and giving us all a ticket to ride!
Cheers!

excellent selection. loved the setdown achieved in the final 4 pieces and great to hear Bim in there earlier (in my list of all time favourites). lovely job. ππ¨πΌβπ³
I know you like that period of On-U because it's not that long since you pulled out Bedward The Flying Preacher.
I'm particular fond of the pairing of the final two in this set. They just sounded prefect to my ears when I put them next to each other. It would have been thematically neater if I'd ended on the Dusty tune, but i couldn't resist how natural Brad Mehldau sounded as a postscript.
That kind of music in that kind of context always feels to me like...you've watched the film now, this is the music that plays over the credits.
*perfect* π
yes, that On-U period is one of my 'special places' - plus Bim's long player 'Reailty' was a regular fixture on my old record player back in the day; positive vibes at a challenging post-grad time in my early twenties.and oh yes, the closers here were proper lush (as the local vernacular round these parts so nicely puts it). π
and the dusty springfield...beautiful!
Dusty's right up there as one of my all time favourite singers but I usually have trouble trying to fit her into one of these sets - worked this time.
do more!
oh this Frank Zappa is lovely!
Isn't it? I think the odd time signature is te secret weapon in this tune, keeps it from becoming almost too lush.
Joe Armon-Jones' band covered this tune the last time that I heard them play live.
very cool
now this is the way to start off a week of listening; oozing sophistication. hoping if I stand close enough to this, and for long enough, some of that will rub off me! chance would be a fine thing but, in the meantime, very fine stuff indeed M'Lord! Pπ§ββοΈπ
I've waited a long lifetime for someone to reach for the term "sophistication" when describing me π
(It's true. I am quite the Noel Coward of the South Circular...)
Noel Coward of the South Circular - classic!
Flora Purim : What a great version of Speak no Evil
It's a winner. From 2003.
@soulfusioncologne2 is another fan of this version.
Saw Flora Purim and Airto play Ronnies a couple of times back in the 90s. They were a great live act.
And then sir Frank Zappa...TOP
My knowledge of Frank Zappa is pretty skin deep but I've liked this tune for a while.
I was reminded of it last year when I heard Joe Armon-Jones' band play a live cover of it.

Thanks Christian, good call.
Liked this a lot -
