About Various Artists - LateNightTales: Belle & Sebastian
Belle & Sebastian are the latest in a long line of acclaimed artists to share their music collection with fans on Azuli’s celebrated CD series LateNightTales. Compiled by the group, LateNightTales is the perfect representation of their eclectic tastes and musical influences.
Belle & Sebastian’s take on LateNightTales is fresh, varied and effortlessly hip. 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.

Not impressive at all. Rather disappointing. Nothing compares to what they are capable of doing, I'd rather have their own work.
March 21, 2007 |  | Air's LNT - awesome addition to any Air collection |  |
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.
March 16, 2007Amazon has sent me two copies of this cd (the original and a replacement). Both of these cds have been the regular, domestic, 18 track versions. You will not get what you see described here.
December 3, 2006Nothing 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.
November 10, 2006Great song picks and recorded as to do them justice. One not to be missed.
