Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The art of the mixtape lies not just in the selection of tracks, but also in how they’re segued.
As past mix masters, Groove Armada might be expected to bring a certain slickness to this, the second of their Late Night Tales sets, but they also show a refined ear beyond their comfort zone, with such gems as Ace’s “How Long” and Stevie Wonder’s “Tuesday Heartbreak” stirred in, along with a few left-field surprises by Chris Rea and Will Young.
But it’s the pairings that make the album work, like how The Human League’s Precinct 13-style “Things That Dreams Are Made Of” segues via a departing car into Roxy’s “Love Is The Drug”, and the way the Balearic sheen of African Dreams’ “Make A Living” slides into a remix of Midlake’s sublime “Roscoe”.
