if you have been listening closely to four tet (and fridge) and love each track's carefully crafted aggregate of samplings (or whatever), use of texture and the warmth of it all, this comp is exactly what i'd expect to hear from KH and also what i'd *want* to hear -- it's like digging through his collection and realizing you haven't been listening to a diverse enough selection of music as you thought you had. but here he is, paring it down and leading you straight to the good stuff. his selection is not full of electronicy tracks (kind of a relief) as one might expect, but each one has a clearly defined beat or dope-ass instrumentation. i almost fell over when i heard parallelograms. sooo good.

he picks it proper: this comp is a perfect combination of post-rock, jazz-tinged hip hop, hippie rock, experimental, free jazz (?), psychadelic folk, etc. it all makes sense together. the tie that binds is his love for shimmery and twinkly (or glitchy) sounds, however they have been manifested in past decades.

ps/ i love the premise of late night tales, another late night, back to mine and dj kicks comps. there's lots of not so great ones, but now and again, you come across one that is dy-no-mite (such as the orb's back to mine and erlend oye's dj kicks).
