Oscillations - Is Our Children Dancing?

I think I just got my favourite album of 2008 delivered this week. It's called The Astral Projections Of Starlight and it's made by Simon James and Dan Hastie, under the name of Woolfy vs Projections. The two teamed up around the changing of the millenium and they've already made a few records together. I got introduced to the first one through Sixsixsixties. Try to look up the A-side, Oh missy is amazing poppy house (I couldn't find any better, but the description covers it quite well, when I come to think of it), made to please everybody. The second one was a teaser for the magnificent album, with The Return Of Starlight on the A-side, and this gem on the flip:



Simon James is originally hailing from London, but the boy moves to sunny LA in the early nineties & gets dragged into the club scene through nights as Flammable Liquid and Harvey's Sessions. A few years later he meets DJ Spun of Rong Music fame & subsequently makes an amazing 12" for them. In 2007 he signs for the 10th edition of Mindless Boogie, the ghent-based label, with an amazing edit of Wings' Band On The Run. Check their myspace, it's there.



Little over one year ago, he signs on the Munich-based Permanent Vacation label and makes the aforementioned album teaser & the recent long player. On the full-length album, mr. James and the Projections make you surf through spaced out disco, psychedelic soul and tropical beard rock. If you're up for it, you can still buy the album and the Mindless Boogie here if you're living in Belgium. It's cheap & very reliable!

As a lil' teaser, here's a pain killer for all your hangovers.
