Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Aiming to encapsulate the lingering mood of BBC Radio 3's multi-genre show, A Late Junction Compilation number 1 is selected and mixed by Verity Sharp, one of its two regular presenters. Few collections have a range that can approach this level of diversity, even though the contents are limited by the programme's unspoken understanding that its music must be reflective, downtempo and never too abrasive. Sharp's mixing is of the subtle variety, with minimal interference from the DJ. She's simply placing tracks in an unlikely (and very pleasing) sequence. Where else could you savour the spangled Iranian setar (lute) of Kayhan Kalhor merging into the frostily sparse drama of Goldfrapp's "Paper Bag"? Or Michael Brook's chiming guitar patterns feeding into the hazy x-ray shadows of Plastikman's reduced techno epic "Consume"? Ross Daly is another mainstay of the programme, his Cretan lyra bowed with sweet inflections, linking up with Ali Akbar Khan's Indian sarod. As amongst the show's vocal audience, such variety can lead to disagreements, but this reviewer can only find displeasure in two items. The Ben Christophers and Mercury Rev vocal stylings do seem to fall into the self-consciously whining songsmith category.--Martin Longley
