I have been looking for a set with depth but a brief surface charge, and at the end of a long set of rare soul and dark politics and Beatle covers, these Billie Holiday classics opened up such a world for me. Using some ghostly covers buried in echo, I found my dream ballroom. And it's just long enough.

192k, a half hour, too real to be a dream, too dreamy to be real
I have been looking for a set with depth but a brief surface charge, and at the end of a long set of rare soul and dark politics and Beatle covers, these Billie Holiday classics opened up such a world for me. Using some ghostly covers buried in echo, I found my dream ballroom. And it's just long enough.
