Nightmares on Wax, Feelin’ Good Posted: 20 Sep 2013 06:23 AM PDT Staying admirably true to its title Leeds lad and Warp veteran George Evelyn is possibly best known for the sumptuous Balearic favorite “Nights Interlude”/”Les Nuits.” This well-loved cosmic jam began as the Quincy Jones-sampling opener to his 1991 debut A Word of Science and, rerecorded and reworked, then developed over the next two albums into a chill-compilation regular and a hardy perennial of the discerning beach-bar DJ’s set. The tune’s evolution neatly encapsulates Evelyn’s own musical journey from bedroom scratch-and-sampler to fêted trip hop DJ to — with collaborator since 1995 Robin Taylor-Firth — maestro of his own live band, and beyond.
