Floating Between Us is a selection of mostly independently-released music … including brand-new music from Sharon Musgrave and The Warheads, and Saru's late-2009 release, The Pearl,as well as some earlier tracks from Kush, Tryad, Solus and The Alpha Rhythm.  Major label support, via Giant Step's DJ promo service brought Si*Sé's "This Love" remix by The Crystal Pharaoh. 

In keeping with my sense of this year being made special by the return of Sade, I've included a track from one of their earliest releases, 1988's Stronger than Pride -- my intention is to have a Sade track in every set this year, including more from the new release, Soldier of Love.  You'll also hear from Maxwell, De-Phazz, Cassius, Slow Train Soul, Muki and others. The vibe on this set moves between earthy nu-soul and somewhat more cerebral music -- hearing how sweetly those two different styles can interact is definitely part of the interest with this set. 
 
Ah, but is it a Valentine's Day mix?  Well, Sade, Si*Sé, The Warheads and Muki give the proceedings a romantic cast, but overall it's probably nothing the girlfriend would take in lieu of flowers, chocolate or jewelry … best break out the Benjamins or find some other, more personal way to express your feelings … you know what she likes. 
 
Listeners can also express their feelings about this set -- comments welcome, as always.

Chilling to your set, Madame. Very sweet...

Is the closing track from a soundtrack?

Thanks for listening ... the band Tryad didn't indicate that the tune was for a soundtrack, but you're right -- it easily could be, couldn't it?

I'll tell you where you can hear some lovely 'soundtrack' music these days, is over at vimeo, the HD video streaming alternative to the chaos that we call youtube ... it's where I first heard the gorgeous neo-classical track, Ljosid by Olafur Arnalds, which I then tracked down .... thank goodness for Google
