Album Review: Various/Django Django - Late Night Tales

Despite sleepwalking into the proggy end of yacht-rock once or twice too often, their collection also radiates with gems such as The Beach Boys’ Surf’s Up and TNGHT’s Bugg’n.



The best entries in the Late Night Tales series resonated like twilight road movies, and Django Django's set starts in that vein, with Leo Kottke's dusty guitar drifting into the fairytale whisperings of Gulp, and Bob James' chiming witchcraft. The mixing doesn't get any more advanced than radio-style fader up/fader down business, but despite sleepwalking into the proggy end of yacht-rock once or twice too often, their collection also radiates with gems such as The Beach Boys' Surf's Up and TNGHT's Bugg'n.
