PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Out of print in the U.S.! a rare find in these days of corporate compilations ; a mix CD which manages to introduce artists new to the listener and give insight into the influences of the compilers, while being an excellent listen from start to finish. That the record manages to flow while including such a wide variety of styles is evidence not only of Zero 7's expert mixing skills, but of their understanding of the music and what makes it work together. Features songs from Roots Manuva, Slum Village, Cinematic Orchestra, Jim O'Rourke, Joy Zipper and many others.

This addition to the Another Late Night series follows on from the popularity of Zero 7's 2001 debut, Simple Things which coincided neatly with a collective penchant among the "staying in is the new going out" public for all things down tempo and chilled out. What better way to reward fans waiting for the next album than lending their record boxes to a compilation series that may as well have been dreamt up with them in mind.

Billed as an insight into the influences behind Simple Things, there aren't many surprises here, not in the sense that you'll know all the tracks--just that it sounds like this is what they were listening to when they were making the album. From the DJ Shadow-esque "Channel Suite 1" by the Cinematic Orchestra, to the The Stylistics trippy nursery version of "People Make the World Go Round", this is music to simultaneously open your heart and nod your head to. --Ruby Tuesday
