If you close your eyes while playing the mini-mix version of Röyksopp‘s Late Night Tales mix, the effect is not unlike an infomercial for a Pure Moods compilation, circa 1992. Only in this case, there’s Popol Vuh’s airy Arguirre score bleeding into such rise and shine favs as This Mortal Coil covering Emmylou Harris and the Swiss New Age nods of Andreas Vollenweider.
Have a listen below, and look out for the mix in full sometime next month. We’ve also got a live version of the duo’s Depeche Mode cover–another key inclusion in their set–here.
