xela - Listen With Xela Volume 1
Back in print. And now for something completely different. For the 6th installment in our mix cd series we head deep down and low into an out of focus world of modified symphonies, alien soundtracks, smokey jazz basements and electric lullabies. This extremely special mix from John Xela acts as a perfect bridging point between the sublime electronic minimalism of his debut album "For frosty mornings....' and the rewired acoustic lovesongs of his recent "Tangled Wool" album for CCO. It's a journey that perfectly reflects Xela's cinematic obsessions, offering a narrative that spans almost a century's worth of music, taking in a lifetime supply of neon folk, jazz vapours, midnight minimalism through to reduced pop, Twin Peaks oddities, Berlin-bound electronic pulses and everything in between. For late night loveliness, the selection just doesn't get any better......or more inspired. Perfect.
