This new vinyl edition is spread over three records and includes all the original cuts that have become modern Balearic, chill and lounge anthems: 'Pandajero' with its dubbed out flamenco; the Indian vibes of 'The Call'; 'Rain' showcasing Phil's fantastic guitar playing over electronic beats; the beautiful 'Essarai'; 'Overtime's dubby styling and the Mediterranean moods of 'Etoile'. On this album, every track truly is a winner.
The 2015 vinyl release also features bonus tracks and mixes not available on the 2003 LP, including three tracks recorded during the original album sessions but only ever used on special limited Japanese versions and compilations: the summery 'Bill Morgan On The Organ'; atmospheric 'Trussevich' and accordion-based 'Katja'. We also have a previously unreleased gem discovered while digging in the archives of the Music For Dreams headquarters - 'Mondo Christy' is an uptempo Joe-Claussel-style stomper with a blend of beautiful violin and acoustic guitars which sounds as fresh as when it was first made. Another heavy-hitter is the highly sought-after Banzai Republic remix of 'The Call', a track DJ Harvey included on his legendary San Diego Mixes from 2004. And to top it all off, there's a specially commissioned brand new Ruf Dug remix of the LP's biggest track 'Pandajero'. Manchester's Ruf Dug slows down the original, bringing extra keys and his magnificent Compass Point style to create a perfect sunset tune.
