JAMES LAVELLE / VARIOUS ARTISTS GU37: Bangkok (2009 UK
30-track 2-CD album set - It's been a long five years since UNKLE's
James Lavelle released his second mix album for GU from Romania. It
followed his series debut from Barcelona, which was hailed at the time
as one of the finest and most timeless albums to come out of Global
Underground in years. On Bangkok, James has put together an
electronic sonic soundscape that is his most eclectic yet, it features
exclusive tracks and remixesfrom UNKLE themselves plus the likes of
Radiohead, Radio Slave, Carl Craig, James Holden, Doves, Layo &
Bushwacka, X-Press2, Innervisions [Henrik Schwarz / Ame / Dixon
featuring Derrick Carter], School of Seven Bells, Nathan Fake, Evil
Nine, Mystery Jets, Fergie and Animal Collective plus many more.
There are certain mix albums that remain on top of the pile, and this
is definitely one. Ticking all boxes, it's one to kick back and listen to at
all times, not just a made-for-the-club album)
