I’m sympathetic to Bob Stanley et al’s aesthetic values, as well (especially) as their dedication to marry those aesthetics with Head Boppin’ Dance Beats. Of course the Denniz PoP-style Scandi-reggae rewire of Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” (and especially its lengthier, dubbier remix by Andrew Weatherall) is an all-timer. Kind by its own admission it seems like a record that’d be great for springtime, although unfortunately it isn’t springtime at the time of this writing. (Comparable rain and humidity though!)
