Ghostwriter, A

Just gorgeous... this opens up into a beautifully chilled out but very funky instrumental, with a delicate echoing piano, a pounding house beat, and Mellotron strings over a funky bass and spine-tingling vocal stabs. Occasionally very original production touches (the subtly feeding-back piano), the little synth hooks under the beat, the skipping beats and the windchims all combine to dreamlike effect. Lonely, elated, uplifted... a walk alone on a starlit night.
