Our Third Island mini-renaissance continues with some delightful Latin Lounge from our man Stan. 'Intimate Percussion' sees Stanley toss aside his conductor's baton and sit down at his trusty grand piano, accompanied by some vibes, the occasional guitar, and the aforementioned percussion.
What is intimate percussion? It consists primarily of a collection of cabasas, maracas, and guiros being scraped, shaken and twirled to create what noted music critic Shadrak Blintz calls "shoosh factor".
Despite the faded colour, this vinyl was in pristine condition, and resulted in a sparkling, high-quality rip. Must-have Stan...

I must have me some more Stan!
Hope all is well, thanks Mr. S.
I'm a sucker for anything with "Percussion" in the title. And I love the nice, well, intimate sound of this album. Thanks much.
Thanks for this nice easy-sounding Album!
Hi There LT.
Thanks for dropping in - I can see that martini glass is still full. It's good to be back in the blogosphere with some nice vinyl to share.
As lounge music lovers know life is like a spinning wheel - at the moment it's spinning in my direction.
I was a poor lost soul, but thanks to lounge music, now I can see - see the cocktail cabinet over there...
Think I'll pour myself another Tijuana Sling and spin me another platter.
Mr S.
merci
If someone had told me that happiness is a stream of millions of ones and zeroes, I would have wondered if they were crazy or... from The Future!
