Krzysiek Sobiecki The sound, the vibration, the mood, the fun, the variety of climates... A perfect blend that makes you smile. The first sounds reminded me of the album Bon Voyage released by the United Future Organization in 1999 ... Favorite track: More Cowbell.

about

‘Debut release from Palace Records and The Kanpai Quartet’s founder and the first LP release on the label. Funny Ol’ story this… all the tracks that feature on this album were produced circa 2004-2007 in his childhood bedroom and then lost a few years later, after the computer that had produced and saved the music died and none of the handful of CD copies that were given away could be found. Anyway, fast forward to one cold and miserable Sunday afternoon in early January 2024, Mr Nikolsky found himself clearing out his attic – where most lost treasure usually is – and found one very dusty and very battered hard drive that he had completely forgotten existed and was absolutely thrilled to finally find the long-lost files and hear a load of music he had resigned to never hearing again… Work that meant a great deal to him during his musical hermitage – and deeply depressed – days of bumming around his parent’s house back in The West Country.’

Dedicated with much love to Ilse and The Very Reverend Archpriest Maxim Nikolsky

The Gaslamp Killer – ‘Sounds good!’

Malcolm Catto – ‘Nice one, Andrei. Really like it!’

Smoove (Smoove & Turrell) – ‘Sounds great and the sleeve looks great bro. Look forward to hearing the rest… again!’ 

The Karminsky Experience – ‘Wow! They’re great. Loved the sounds especially the drums and pianos in We Try. Great use of sample in Jiggery Pokery!’

Ollie Teeba (The Herbaliser / Ninja Tune) – ‘Psychedelic, exotic, erotic, syncopated, lushness baby! Medicine for your mind!’

Jonny Cuba (The Herbaliser / Ninja Tune) – ‘A fresh perspective for sampling with complex arrangements, dripping with sophistication.’

Rory More (Sudden Hunger Records) – ‘I think the ideas and production are good, and I think you're good.’

Amanda Whiting (Jazzman Records) – ‘It’s really interesting. Who is the Harpist on it? Or is it a sample?’ 

Paul Toller (The Harmonic Exchange) – ‘That’s great. Think it’ll do well. Like a jazzy Public Service Broadcasting or if you’re old enough to remember, Lemon Jelly.’
