  • They Say...

    Released to celebrate the 100th title in the Tummy Touch Records catalog, Sounds Good in the Nude is a two-disc continuous-mix set of midtempo house, nicely chilled dub, and all-around romantic instrumental dance music with a faintly lounge-y aftertaste. Disc one is mixed by Tom Findlay of Groove Armada, and this is the least adventurous and most utilitarian of the two sets. It focuses on groove-focused and sometimes just a bit generic dancefloor funk by the likes of Chantilly and Organic Audio, though Findlay focuses the lion's share of his time on tracks by Tim "Love" Lee and Tutto Matto. These, indeed, are among the first disc's highlights: Lee's "One Word" is especially fun, and Tutto Matto's "Don't Stop" is a retro-funk delight. Lee is the DJ responsible for the mix on disc two, which offers a dubbier and more adventurous program of mostly downtempo, sometimes Latin, frequently reggae-fied funk. Highlights here include the remix of Crackpot's "Tippy Toe" and the very sweet and low-down "On the Ceiling" by Dolphin Boy. Revolvo's overlong, blues-based "Glock" is the only fly in this rich ointment. Highly recommended.
