Press Play #55 - Moonboots

To make up for recent quiet times here on a.n.o.e. you get a brand spankin' new mix from Moonboots. Well actually we refer to him as Sir Moonboots around these parts because he's the boss of soundtracking those quiet summer nights, trips to the beach, driving across the dessert in yer jeep and pretty much anything that involves living. Richard's mix goes beyond the Balearic in search of beautiful golden autumnal beats only to discover a message in the music along the way, a message that's both timeous and timeless. Moonboots has an uncanny knack for digging up previously little known gems that sound instantly familiar and almost as instantly get added to a long list of must have records. His 'Falling Leaves' selection is very fine indeed, classic Moonboots in fact.

We gonna run this one 'mystery mix' style, so if u spot anything drop it in the comments section and I'll get a playlist going. Huge thanks go out to Richard for the beauteous blend, it's more than a delight having you drop in on our little corner of the web. For the rest of ya, get downloading...

That Willie Wright album is essential for those of you who don't have it yet. Scott Walker 1 - 4 is pretty much needed as well.

Nicely done, Moon.

As always great music by Moonboots...
Request to know the number nine track. It's Peter Nero and the track is called "Soul Ballet". an album I picked up back in the mid 90s because it had such a cool cheesy sleeve...LOL!
Here is a link to a edited version done by us a couple of years ago
