Too Slow To Disco NEO: The Sunset Manifesto CD

189 months ago, the team behind the excellent Too Slow To Disco compilations inaugurated a new offshoot series, Too Slow To Disco Neo, in order to showcase contemporary nu-disco sounds. The first edition focused on French music that fit in with their atmospheric, slow-motion aesthetic; this belated follow-up, on the other hand, is all about sun-kissed Balearic beats and summery nu-disco grooves. It's a simple idea, executed well, with the collection's multitude of highlights including the Latin-tinged sunset disco bliss of Yuksek's 'Do Beijo', the '80s soul-meets-future R&B shuffle of Moods, the super-slick synth-boogie of Prep's 'Love Breaks Down' and the blue-eyed soul haziness of Private Agenda's sugary 'Step'.
