Albums Of The Decade - 91. John Talabot - fIN

91. JOHN TALABOT - FIN

This played recently on my balcony with a bottle of pilsner in my hand and I finally realized that I was in the hub of summertime. Just back from my annual holiday and realising there was no need to be blue, a simple spin of this 2012 modern classic by Barcelona's Talabot confirmed to me that all you really gotta do is let the good times roll.

Taken from his Last FM page "His influences range from flamenco to northern soul, from African music to traditional Asian songs - well to add to that it's house and disco and electricity. An absolute smorgasbord of styles, yet consistent tempos here offer up a range of emotions, whether it's the old school nostalgia of "When The Past Was Present," the sinister howls supplicated in "Oro Y Sangre" or the puckering-up heard in "Destiny" - there might not be a bigger diversity on any album on this list.


Talbot wil hopefully release some other mierda in the near-future, other than his excellent DJ Kicks mixtape and that was 2013. Here's hoping. Track below. :)
