Summer Buzzing

Main Source - Breaking Atoms
Spent the afternoon lazing in the garden's sunshine listening to this. It was fucking bliss. The rippling bass lines, the fruity organs, the rays of the sunshine and the snap and crackle of the beats causing tingling feelings round the spine. The thoughtful humility of the words with not an ounce of lazy misogyny in sight. There were several moments - the keyboard solo of 'Watch Roger', Elephant Memory's hazy "ooo aahh"'s backing 'Baseball', the bass line to 'Vamos', the cries of "he got so much soul, he don't need no music" -  moments where I had a strange primal urge to run up my garden shed and cling on to the roof, pull myself up and take the big run and leap onto the roof of my house Parkour style and raise a triumphant fist up to the neighbourhood below. The fact that I'm recovering from a broken leg may have saved a few blushes.  The entire LP kills it and will receive a lot summer spins.
