99. Quiet Village - Silent Movie (2008)
Plays like a film soundtrack. Isn't a film soundtrack. Could soundtrack your dreams. The blissful tones of say 'Victoria's Secret' or the organic drums on 'Pillow Talk' are Balearic in their appeal, yet the outlook for scope on this album is just global. There are a couple of pacey ditties, a few soul nuggets and lots of lush instrumentation and sampling. No shift in style jars with the next and there's no danger of blandness. 'Silent Movie' recalls Nightmares On Wax, Quantic Soul Orchestra and The Avalanches in a complete package of cosy, uplifting and quirky, as pertaining to those three inspirations respectively.
