Four Tet - Late Night Tales

On behalf of our friends at Azuli we have four full length audio streams that you may like to offer your readers, taken from the 'Rolls Royce' of compilations, 'LateNightTales, this one being presented by Four Tet. There is even Four Tet's own interpretation of Jimi Hendrix's 'Castles Made Of Sand'.

Four Tet (aka Kieran Hebden), wildly regarded as being responsible for some of the most cutting edge electronic music of the past - or indeed any - year, releases his first-ever compilation as the newest addition to Azuli's 'Late Night Tales' series on Oct 4.

Forming the album's centre-piece is the 13 minutes of Joe Henderson's 'Earth', which seems to be cut from the same spiritual-funk fabric as Keiran's beloved Alice Coltrane, (largely because Alice collaborated with Joe on this tune). Slinky and sinuous and locked into a slowly mutating groove, it feels like a meditation on being, until the jazz poetry kicks in at the seven-minute mark to let us know that it's actually about the nature of time.

There is also Four Tet's own interpretation of Jimi Hendrix's 'Castles Made Of Sand', which strips away the vocals and guitar to leave a pretty unique reading of this classic song from 'Axis Bold As Love', with fellow Fridge member Adem playing double bass.
