The sunshine has finally arrived in north west England this weekend bringing with it blue skies, heat and life lived outdoors. I appreciate some people don't like the heat and go bright red at the first contact with the sun but it doesn't half help to lift the spirits and make everything seem a little bit better. Manchester city centre was heaving yesterday- no one would say Manchester has a beautiful or even scenic city centre but its scruffy charm looks miles better with blue skies and the sun beaming down. A month ago all the trees were still bare- now they're all green.
This ten minute track by Mi Ami, first released in 2012 and then again as part of a compilation put together by Gatto Fritto in 2018 (The Sound Of Love International Vol. 1), is all summer sounds, percussion and drums and shimmering synth sounds, some dub FX giving everything a hazy wobble. Ideal for this kind of weather.
Manchester city centre is a wonderful place to wander around, no matter the weather. Having said that, I do hope one day that I will get to experience it under gloriously blue skies.....
