Includes tracks from The Specials, Os Mutantes, Pale Fountains, Tones On Tail, Julie London and an exclusive Nouvelle Vague track, their cover of Dexys Midnight Runners' 'Come On Eileen'. Azuli. 2007.

Album Details

Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux Are the Pair of Pop Subversives Responsible for Nouvelle Vague, the French Band Whose Self-titled Debut Album Won Hearts (And Soundtracked Movies) in 2004. The Duo Took 13 Songs from the Post-punk Era and Re-imagined them as Bossa Nova Tunes; The Lightness of Touch and Deft Production Somehow Lifting the Project from the Land of the Kitsch and Placing it Firmly Where it Belonged: Midway Twixt Avant-garde and Pop. In Fact, an Album that Would have Happily Sat in the Ztt Catalogue 20 Years Ago. If You Want to Know Where the Heads of Nouvelle Vague Are At, "Late Night Tales" Gives You a Wee Glimpse Through the Twitching Curtains of their Lustrous Minds. If Acid House Had Exploded in a Fetid Basement in Rue Hachette Rather Than the Repressed and Sweaty Confines of Thatcher's Britain, it Might have Sounded Something Like This. Torch Songs, Songs of Redemption and Remorse, Heartbreak and Uplift. Mood Music of Elevators and Elevation.

Great CD I imagine.......2007-03-01

Hi, my name is Jayson, and I am 13 and a half years old. I was over at my friend Brian's house, and his sister was listening to this CD. She is cool but she is a private person. She didn't like us practicing karate, so she turned up her stereo, and my friend Brian and I ended up practicing karate to the CD. I think everyone should own this CD, and I would like to get a copy for my birthday. 5 stars.

Album Description

Air aren't exactly strangers to mood enhancing music (the release of "Moon Safari", their much-mooted collaboration with Sofia Coppola for the "Virgin Suicides" soundtrack, "10,000 Hz Legend", and 2004's acclaimed "Talkie Walkie", have in 5 short years solidified the Parisian duo's position as premier purveyors of meltingly good, cosmic pop), it's perhaps not surprising that they would eventually combine their talents to mix a selection of their favorite music.

Dipping into by turns melancholic, ambient, soulful, mellow and downright moody classics, Air's selections make for timeless, lounge-loving, uplifing, and occasionally heart-wrenching stuff. Godin and Dunckel's "LNT" selections immediately propel you into a world as dry and as satisfying as a glass of Chateauneuf du Pap, in which time is not so much standing still as floating in space. Air time, you might call it in fact. From The Cure to Nino Rota, Elliot Smith, The Band, and Cat Power, to their own "Musica", Air's "Late Night Tales" is a musical journey not to be missed!

Customer Reviews:

Air to Breathe.......2007-03-21

Not impressive at all. Rather disappointing. Nothing compares to what they are capable of doing, I'd rather have their own work.

Air's LNT - awesome addition to any Air collection.......2007-03-16

This is one of my favorite CDs at the moment. If you listen to this CD and then you listen to any AIR CD, you can really see how the songs on this CD influence their music. The only complaint I have about the mix of songs is Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You". It has never really been a favorite of mine, mostly because it gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it. On the other hand, choices like "All Cats are Grey" by the Cure and Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" are a great start to this moody trip that you really should check out.

SUPERB!.......2006-11-10

Nothing else to add that hasn't already been said. To reiterate the obvious - this is a compilation and not an original artist album and it represents what has inspired Air musically and shaped their sound to what it is today. This is a MUST BUY.

Great song collection.......2006-10-29

Great song picks and recorded as to do them justice. One not to be missed.

Who would have thought Black Sabbath could sound so excellent?.......2006-10-22

The CD is best when the choices are least expected: "All Cats are Grey" (The Cure), "Planet Caravan" (Black Sabbath), "Metal Heart" (Cat Power), "P.L.A." (Robert Wyatt), "Cousin Jane" (Troggs) are all fantastic, and fantastically unexpected. I can live without some of the movie-soundtrack selections (esp. Tan Dun) and the foray into kitsch - Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" (wretched stuff, plus it sounds completely out of place here) - but these compilation albums are always a bit hit-and-miss, for whatever reason, and this one is no exception. By my calculation, there are NINE stellar tracks here, and that's enough for me (for the price I paid). I've downloaded the best tracks onto my IPod, along with some of my favorite moody Air tracks ("Bathroom Girl," "Les Professionnels"), and the results are exceptional LateNight music.

A Brilliant Mix.......2005-11-25

This complete compilation of changing beats can defiantly create temperamental grooves on a late night. It's a must have!

I I I your FUNK & SOUL is delivered here!!!!.......2003-12-03

I'm a huge fan of D.J. Ease & his N.O.W. creation. The guy has mad skills. I cant say one bad thing about the music he produces yet I'm always skeptical when it comes time to a mix disk. Those that bought the European edition on the last N.O.W. release received the bonus mix disk which was just average until now. This "Late Night Tales" is nonstop funkiness ranging from jazz, lounge, dub, soul, to hip hop. These are my key favorites:

4. Show Me Some Love - The Rootsman (nice track also check out The Rootsman on the new BUG disk, amazing)

6. Listen - Quincy Jones (Quincy is the man, enough said)

8. Sneakin In The Back - Tom Scott (this track breathes JAZZ, its on my answering machine right now)

13. Spooky - Dusty Springfield(what a sweet classic to use, EASE must of been thinking about Viscous Pink on this one)

A must have for your collection!

Great!, that's all I have to say........2003-11-23

This CD is amazing! the mix between new tracks and old ones is unique and... just try it!

Extremely Good.......2003-09-14

This is a really choice selection of tracks. It is blissfull as it seamlessly transitions from on great track to the next. All tastey flavors of music make the cut. It is really a journey through sonic masterpieces. I highly recommend it. I was a bit cautious about this after having enjoyed the earlier Nightmares On Wax releases but not really getting into the DJ Kicks release. This disc picks up and pushes the standards even higher. I only have this Another Late Night release as well as Fila Brazilia, which is a favorite of mine that i still enjoy listening to after having bought it when it was first released about three years ago, so if you dont have that one you might want to get it as well. Get this disc and get ready to enjoy.

Ethereal Old School Groove.......2003-06-24

Evelyn's latest release and contribution to the "...Late Night" compilation is quickly making it up to my 'Best of' list for this series.

My only question is why the dialogue at the end? I never have cared to listen to it.

A great compilation!.......2006-10-26

I can't understand those reviewers who purchased this album thinking that this was a Jamiroquai CD. Come on folks! Did you read the track listing on the back? Not only does it list the tracks, it lists the original artists as well.

Upon listening to the album, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that these artists clearly influenced Jamiroquai's sound. Songs like "Once You Get Started" by Rufus and "Happiness" by The Pointer Sisters will resonate with all of Jamiroquai's fans. I also love "Here's To You" by Skyy, "Tonight's The Night" by Kleer and "Pretty Baby" by Sister Sledge. This compilation will get you off the couch and have you dancing in no time. If it doesn't, then nothing will!

THIS IS NOT A JAMIROQUAI CD!!!!.......2006-07-03

This is a compilation CD of songs by assorted artists that influenced Jay Kay and the Jamiroquai sound. All tracks are by the original artists from the 70's. I did not know this when I ordered this CD. I was VERY disappointed when I realized that it wasn't Jamiroquai doing cover versions. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Just a general comment.......2006-05-24

I haven't heard this CD but of the samples I listened to it seemed like it does it's job. This is for any of the reviewers who may return here. Now when I saw the cover, instantly I knew it wasn't an album of jamiroquai songs. I thought it was an interview CD or something like that. Does it look like a Jamiroquai cover? NO! come on people! You can't call yourself a jamiroquai fan (or smart for that matter) if you thought this was a Jamiroquai album. Haven't you noticed the similiarity between the past covers? Get a clue.

Misleading title?!?!.......2006-05-20

Okay, I'm usually ok with concept albums and compilations but the title of this record is misleading and the public should know that THIS IS NOT A JAMIROQUAI CD!! I guess it's a compilation that shows the relationship between the 2 cultures and it's what motivates their musical style! Not saying the music is bad or anything but it is just an album of old school R&B songs by the original artists! No Jay Kay on this at all! I just will feel bad to those that purchase this thinking it's actually Jamiroquai!

A great CD.......2005-11-10

This CD was wonderful. I thought I was buying the music of Jamiroquai, but I was not disappointed in what I heard. This certainly is a "funk fueled" CD, which it states on the CD cover. If this music does not get you moving, check yourself for a pulse!

Album Description

The Flaming Lips, bona-fide platinum status artists, are the latest in a long line of acclaimed talents to share their music collection with fans on Azuli's celebrated CD series LateNightTales. Compiled by the trio, LateNightTales is the perfect representation of what The Lips listen to, kicking back at home in Oklahoma City.

The Flaming Lips' infamous version of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" (which has been eagerly sought after across the worldwide web since the group performed it live at the Hammersmith Apollo late last year) is featured as an exclusive on this compilation. Playfully dubbed, "Harry Potter's and George W. Bush's Severed Head Arm Mix," the wacky rendition takes sideswipes at anyone in range with febrile Lips-ian logic!

Also featuring songs by Bjork, Miles Davis, Radiohead, 10cc, Nick Drake, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, The Chemical Brothers, and many more - The Flaming Lips puts their spin on LateNightTales.

Light Shines Through A Kaleidoscope.......2007-04-16

One of the most inspired series ever offered on CD, 'Late Night Tales' offers an intimate look into the personal home listening tastes of each of the artists spotlighted in the series. The best description of the series is by it's creator AUSTIN WILDE who states on their website latenighttales.co.uk; "Our special series gives artists and producers the opportunity to select their favorite tracks for home listening. The series is an ideal opportunity for the artists to express their tastes and musical background and to take the listener on a journey through their musical inspirations. Normally we ask our chosen producers to compile an album of their favorite music that inspired them to make music their profession - their favourite of the favourites.Sit back relax and enjoy.". I personally share this vision, for years I have asked club dj's to make a mix of the best music that they can't get away with playing at dance clubs (you can e-mail me at nickfromspace@yahoo.com if you want to hear some of those).

The spotlight here shines on WAYNE COYNE of THE FLAMING LIPS. As in the FLAMING LIPS own music, that light shines through a kaleidoscope. Showing off music of all times from todays ALFIE, SEBADOH, MICE PARADE,
CHRIS BELL, NICK DRAKE & DAVID SHRIGLEY; to 90s defining RADIOHEAD, BJORK, APHEX TWIN, FAUST & CHEMICAL BROTHERS; to 80s ingenues PSYCHEDELIC FURS, LOVE AND ROCKETS, THE CHAMELEONS & LUSH; to 70s innovators ROXY MUSIC, BRIAN ENO, & 10CC; the timeless jazz of MILES DAVIS; and a features an exclusive new track by FLAMING LIPS in which they cover WHITE STRIPES 'Seven Nation Army'; this is truely a renaissance man expierence.

A personal description as to the inspiration and reason for the selection of each track is offered in the liner notes. I only wonder if WAYNE was the one who selected the picture of the plastic elephant for the cover of the CD & how much wonderful it would look on LP.

[...]

Up and down, could use a little editing.........2006-02-12

Others have described the CD fairly well. No point in adding my blather to theirs. I'll leave it at this: this is a good CD, but not great; it needs some editing. Delete tracks 12-16 and you have a much more concise, cohesive offering.

I don't how who Alfie are (is?) but their song "People" is a definite highlight. Linear, tight, multipart interwoven guitar rock: picture the Strokes with twice the IQ.

The Key.......2005-12-22

The real beauty of this compilation is the liner notes. Don't get me wrong, the compilation is brilliant and the music is wonderful, but the key to the whole thing is the notes Wayne scribbled about why he chose each song.

Listening to this without reading the notes is a bit like wandering lost around an art museum, enjoying the paintings. It is a great way to spend your time. On the other hand, you could be led by an expert who can explain the finer points, the history, the reason the art is in this collection to begin with. You get all the aesthetic pleasure, plus enlightenment.

Wayne is your personal docent.

He points out reasons for collecting these songs; a beautiful innovation here, a pathetically heart wrenching lyric there, a sublime use of an odd time signature, this band had to be in the collection and this is a good representation of why, on and on.

Spears and Awkward Hobos: secret review #4.......2005-10-03

We didnt even know it was a song, a dvd, something to play in machines, the gears and plastic all remotely influenced, such oblong buttons. I was a cushion for such waves, a shore for baked items, so good and needed, such sales for the building fund. They are from Oklahoma City and I miss May avenue, the aged houses of heritage hills and somewhere off 15th street, amongst gargoyles and other creatures they made these songs.

All angry and up to the slide they go, they go.

Interesting Downtempo Mix.......2005-07-15

The Flaming Lips are always musically adventurous and experimental, so I knew they'd have to have some cool influences. This album is a sweet mellow mix kicked off with Bjork's "Unravel" (probably the best song from "Homogenic"), seguing into some Miles Davis (not my favorite by him, but continues the mellow mood), later getting into some music box funk by Aphex Twin and Chemical Brothers. Near the end we get Radiohead's "Pyramid Song"-- I've never been a huge fan, but this song is by leaps and bounds the best I've heard from them, Thom Yorke distilled down to somber wailing poetry and a simple, eerie piano riff underneath. A definite highlight. Right after that, we get the easy listening song "I'm Not in Love," whose inclusion here makes me see the song in a new light, especially in this extended and uncut version.

You know the Lips know their music, and this mix tape doesn't disappoint. It manages to be downtempo and always interesting at the same time.

Another fine mash up brought to you by FORE TET! It's not for everyone, it did take a while for it to soak in, but now its on heavy rotation! Go ahead and get this one son! good job fore tet!

sweeeet........2005-05-17

if you have been listening closely to four tet (and fridge) and love each track's carefully crafted aggregate of samplings (or whatever), use of texture and the warmth of it all, this comp is exactly what i'd expect to hear from KH and also what i'd *want* to hear -- it's like digging through his collection and realizing you haven't been listening to a diverse enough selection of music as you thought you had. but here he is, paring it down and leading you straight to the good stuff. his selection is not full of electronicy tracks (kind of a relief) as one might expect, but each one has a clearly defined beat or dope-ass instrumentation. i almost fell over when i heard parallelograms. sooo good.

he picks it proper: this comp is a perfect combination of post-rock, jazz-tinged hip hop, hippie rock, experimental, free jazz (?), psychadelic folk, etc. it all makes sense together. the tie that binds is his love for shimmery and twinkly (or glitchy) sounds, however they have been manifested in past decades.

ps/ i love the premise of late night tales, another late night, back to mine and dj kicks comps. there's lots of not so great ones, but now and again, you come across one that is dy-no-mite (such as the orb's back to mine and erlend oye's dj kicks).

Never tied to any scene in the first place (and still further out on a limb 10 years later), these Glaswegians seem to have developed as a band that can draw influences from just about anywhere. Pure pop, `60s psyche, `70s rock, West Coast harmonies, beat groups, folk balladeering, punk, indie, girl groups and bossanova, are just a few of the slants to crop up without musical contradictions within the Belles' own work.

The comp features an exclusive cover of Belle & Sebastian doing "Cassaco Marron" originally by the Latin group Trio Esperanca, which formed back in 1958 - further illustrating the group's eclectic and wide range of taste in music. Also includes songs by Paperclip People, RJD2, Stereolab, The Peddlers, Johnny Cash, The Ethiopians, Walter Jackson, Gal Costa, Ramsey Lewis, Steve Miller Band, Mum, and more, as well as an exclusive spoken word track by David Shrigley.

Rip Off.......2005-10-02

Forget about the quality of music on this disc. It's supposed to have a "Bonus Track" consisting of a Sly and Robbie cover of a Madonna tune, but listeners are not instructed where it is on the CD or how to get at it. I know it's there, because when the disc cues up my player says "75:30" and as soon as I hit play and the first track starts, the time remaining drops to "71:25." I suspect that in order to get to it, you have to have a cheap CD player and get it to rewind "behind" track 1. High end CD players will not do this, ever. So between copy protected CD's that won't even play at all on my player, other disc's with "secret" tracks like this one, Lamb's "What Sound" and Hybrid's "Sci-fi Mornings" I'm ready to say the hell with it and stop buying music. It's a matter of principle: this goes back for a refund and I can't recommend that anyone spend a penny on it.

Question - where is the secret bonus track no. 18? It is so secret on my cd I think, that it may remain so unless someone tells me what to do to listen to it.

The CD is exceptional listening and I give it 5 stars without hesitation (and without the bonus track if necessary!).
