Soundtracks For Living (Expanded Edition)

Description

Limited Edition White Vinyl, Heavyweight 3-Panel Gatefold Sleeve, Sticker. Non-
Returnable.

WRWTFWW Records is proud to present THE GENTLE PEOPLE – Soundtracks for
Living (Expanded Edihon), the ulhmate Lounge/Chill Out classic from 1997, reborn!
Available as a limited edihon white vinyl 3LP in heavyweight 3-panel gatefold sleeve.
When The Gentle People first glided into the mid-90s on clouds of strings, sugar and
sine waves, they sounded like visitors from another, more glamorous planet. Signed
to Richard D. James and Grant Wilson-Claridge’s cult label Rephlex, this mulhnahonal
“E-Z-Core” lounge unit took the aesthehcs of 50s/60s easy listening and exohca and
gently smuggled them into 1990s club culture.
Soundtracks for Living was their defining statement: an album that “takes the lounge
scene and runs away with it enhrely… blissful and heavenly,” as one contemporary
review put it. Imagine KLF’s Chill Out or Space growing up on French 60/70s pop,

bossa nova, soundtracks, vocal harmony groups, library music and easy listening then
slipping out for a late-night date with dub, ambient techno and bubble-bath pop.
That’s Soundtracks for Living: a record that can score cocktail hour, 4am taxi rides,
and daydreams in headphones with the same effortless grace.
