Kenneth Bager Featuring Gisli
Fragment One (And I Keep Hearing)
Music For Dreams

This lazy afternoon whistling Balearic stroller which sounded like a cross between a 70s detective show theme and 60s soft-porn frolic was one of the highlights from the mighty Mr Bager’s wonderful Fragments From A Space Cadet album of last year. Now it’s been reactivated with a gamut of gorgeous new treatments. The Glimmers kick off with the perfect club version, adding a contagious shuffling groove, carefully placing the essential elements with lots of space between them until tradesmen’s entrance collides with tent-pole by which time the floor will be entranced. Henrik Christiansen and Morton Wilken aka Robot Coupe go for the floater with jittering, shadowy pulses and sheep farts [plus spaced dub]. Per Ebdrup aka Jazzbox skanks over a dismembered which gains momentum into a swinging double-bass lope with Fender Rhodes. Jerry Dimmer uses the full vocal over a light hiphop vamp. Just right for the hot weather!
