Bang Bang - "Bye Bye Blues" Hi:Fidelity Lounge Song released in 1997. Compilation released in 1999. Downtempo / Trip Hop
Hazy, cinematic stuff from the mind of Versaiiles, France’s Xavier Jamaux, who was once in a high school indie band with the two guys from AIR, and then went on to collaborate with them further too. This tune was originally released on Bob Sinclar’s Yellow Productions label, but you can’t find this specific version of it, with its springy bass squelch, anywhere on YouTube or Spotify. Not sure which release this exact recording originates from either, but I have it on a partially mixed chillout comp that was issued by Chicago’s Guidance Recordings in ‘99. A sweet, relaxed beaut that's reminiscent of AIR themselves 😌.
