Lux - Northern Lights (2005)

Five years in the making Northern Lights is 11 laid-back Ibizian (or just plain relaxed) afternoons rolled into one album. The more on the ball amongst you may have noticed that all tracks on the album are named after different types of cannabis Take a look! Rumor has it that each track was written and recorded whilst sampling said herbs and reflects the moods of the writers at the time so is also a true smokers delight. Tying all this together the album also includes poignant sleeve notes from Howard Marks (aka Mr Nice the most celebrated purveyor of cannabis ever) and his musings on the effects the weed has on the way we listen to music.

Not just a concept album Northern Lights is a serious musical piece and takes in areas from downtempo, blissful, beatless tracks to laid-back house and lazy drum & bass.
