Late Night Tales: Django Django
Django Django is the latest band invited to curate a prestigious Late Night Tales collection. At one end of the Django spectrum there's James Last, the terminally unhip Teuton, whose Inner City Blues shows you can never underestimate the Germans, while at the far reaches of the mix, they manage to sneak in Ramadanman (Bass Drums) and Hudson Mohawke and Lunice collaboration TNGHT's Bugg'n. You can hear the echoes of influences in some of the selections, like The Beach Boys whose peerless Surf's Up makes a welcome appearance halfway through, while Seals and Crofts' Sweet Green Fields show what sun-drenched pop can sound like when it's done well. And because it's Late Night Tales there's a sparkling cover version of Porpoise Song, the theme from The Monkees daffily brilliant Head, an admirably lysergic termination to this waltz through pop's nooks and cranberries.
