Groove Armada's Tom Findlay releases 'Late Night Tales Presents Music For Pleasure'
Taking a side step out of the usual Late Night Tales timeline, Tom Findlay from Groove Armada presents a special Music For Pleasure selection. The 18 tracks chosen here have been lovingly re-edited and mixed by Tom as a seamless voyage through some of the finest soulful pop music of the 70s and early 80s.
Tom Findlay says of the record, “it´s very much a 'concept' record, blue eyed soul, yacht rock. Vibe was very much tunes that I used to blast on the tour bus. I love that music in a very wrong way, its music to hug to"!”

Press play and suddenly life somehow feels so much better. The sun is shining, because it always does round here. In your mind you are roller-skating down Venice Beach, the breeze gently kissing your blonde hair. You live in an apartment up in Laurel Canyon. Life has never been better.
Although California plays an obvious role, it’s not just the Pacific Coast representing here. We’ve got a colorful assortment including Steve Miller Band with ‘Fly Like An Eagle’, Bobby Caldwell’s ultra-smooth groove ‘What You Wont Do For Love’, ‘Work To Do’ by Average White Band, Michael McDonald weighs in with ‘I Keep Forgettin’ and there’s room for 10cc’s ever magical ‘I’m Not In Love’. Big boys don’t cry.
Alongside Tim Hutton, Tom Findlay forms Sugar Daddy, who are responsible for the rather tasty cover of Ace’s ‘How Long’ here. This will be the only new Groove Armada recording made available in 2012.
The summer’s coming and Music For Pleasure has merely accelerated its arrival. Let your hair down. Slip on your blue jeans and cowboy shirt. Make yourself at home by the pool. Shake up a cocktail and stick this on the sound system. Lay back and think of Laurel Canyon.
In depth track by track comments and intro liner by the legendary Bill Brewster. The vinyl format has been cut as a "half speed" master, a high end audiophile technique to get best audio quality from the vinyl, and pressed on 180 gram. It comes in special antistatic inner sleeves with cover art print and the cd mix inside. .
