Song(s) of the Day # 3,495 Towa Tei

 

Deelite's Groove Is In The Heart was and remains a remarkable moment in Pop History. None of us had or has heard anything quite like. A dream of Manhattan as the hippest mindstat eand hyper-reality any of us could ever aspire to. It genuinely sounded like a new frontier

Plenty of Deelite's stuff was worth cupping an ear or setting out on the dancefloor to cut a rug to.But eberything the three members of the band set their minds on dwarfed into complete irrelevance n the shadow of Groove,

Towa Tei, the Japanese  cat in the hat and shades, behind the decks, is still churning out quality product.thirty years and more on; The aural equvalent of The Jetsons, The Flinstones, Hair Bear Bunch or any technicolor Hanna Barbera animated product you may care to mention. 


Latest album Zoundtracks delights in the same lurid, playful state of bliss that Groove first opened up for us.. Knitted together with samples of a dreamlike texture and shape, it all feels state of the art, thirty tears on and counting.
