Record Tracklist
- BEACHCOMA
Working with Lætitia Sadier, lead singer of iconic 90’s band Stereolab, was simply great – her voice has such a beautiful velvet quality to it! We created the main riff from sampling Latin Grammy winner Mazinho Quevedo, the amazing Brazilian guitarist we recorded in a São Paulo park in Brazil in 2011. We found a sample where he was in key and tempo with both a 25 piece children’s choir we had later recorded in France and the Cristal Baschet (the glass instrument used in our track Eastern Baschet), all giving a very ethereal dream like quality to the piece. Added to this are musicians from the Inner Vision Orchestra we recorded in 2014 (the UK’s only orchestra of blind musicians) plus experimental musician Alistair Strachan on the trumpet-like cornet.
