Canadian quartet BADBADNOTGOOD take on creating the ultimate “late night” selection of tracks from their record collections, set for release on 28th July 2017. The original trio of Matthew Tavares, Alex Sowinski and Chester Hansen formed while studying music at Toronto’s Humber College (they’ve recently added Leland Whitty to the line-up). A shared appreciation of hip hop and instrumental covers of Gucci Mane and Earl Sweatshirt suggested a worldly outlook and reciprocated love from Tyler The Creator and Ghostface Killah, which whom they made 2015’s Sour Soul.

A soulful, reflective and warming compilation
First things first, I think some of the reviews here are for the album IV, which was an earlier release from the band.The records are available in three different colours, standard black, white (limited to 500, and now sold out), and an orange version, available via VinylMePlease. The albums come with a download code for the mix and unmixed tracks in FLAC,WAC and MP3 formats,and a high quality Art Print.This is the latest instalment in a long running series, featuring tracks and artists who have influenced the compilers, for more info visit LateNightTales.co.uk.The band set out to create a soundtrack for reflection and meditation, and it is instantly accessible thanks largely to tracks by The Chosen Few and their cover of People Make The World Go Round, Esther Phillips Home Is Where The Hatred Is, Delegations Oh Honey and Charlotte Day Wilson's Work, to name just a few of my own personal favourites, but there is a far greater depth too, to most of the other tracks, that will make you want to revisit it again and again. Kiki Gyan's Disco Dancer and Donnie and Joe Emerson's Baby deserve a special mention, given that I had never heard either before, and there is an exclusive cover version by Badbadnotgood of Andy Schauf's "To You."The final track is a recital by Lydia Lunch, called You,Me and Jim Beam, and this too deserves a special mention here, simply exquisite.They have crafted a soulful, reflective, and warming compilation, that's perfect to relax and unwind to.

Modern Fusion
The first album I've bought by BBNG and it ticks most boxes. Sort of modern jazz rythms fused with electronica, though they would probably hate that description!

Another LateNightTales Great CD Collection
Great collection of various artists picked by this very cool Canadian jazz band. There is also a download code inside CD cover for mp3, wav and flac files - mixed version (as on cd) + individual songs.
