Peaty Island Blend

Jura Soundsystem - Transmission Two [ISLE 006 AUS 2020 WEB FLAC]

Another eclectic mix of synthetic textures, obscure pop, funk & disco and a little bit of spoken word compiled by the classy Isle Of Jura label. 

The compilation broadens the scope of the first volume, blending more genres fluidly - through ambient, electro, house, disco and library music before ending with some star gazing esoteric cuts.

Transmission Two is bookended by Carl Craig with his electronic rarity C Beams Glitter , and the actor Jeff Bridges, who provides a perfect finale with a message of personal empowerment set to the music of Ivor Novello winning soundtrack composer Keefus Ciancia. In between you’ll find Aphex Twin protégé Bochum Welt, John Rocca of Freeez and Pink Rhythm, Library music aficionado’s Daniele Patucchi and David Arch, a Jura Soundsystem edit of Sapho, Hitman from the Philly World music stable, Hirini Melbourne (a Maori composer, poet and author) and a beautiful previously unreleased song from Zann which sounds much like a Vin Reilly out-take. Your host could go on correcting the label's own text but is feeling lazy tonight, so would just strongly recommend the obscure bass-laden Hit Man b-side, Future Times.
