The Future Sound Of London"Dead Cities"
(Astralwerks 6181)
The Future Sound Of London have become masters of bending the genres jumping effortlessly from rock to techno to ambient to fusion jazz to classical all in a heartbeat. With Dead Cities, they re-define the imaginary soundtrack with an epic in sound. A landscape falling apart...a world in decay. Not exactly the way to start the cocktail hour, but that's what the Future Lounge is all about. Break the traditions and sip a Zombie with the sound of the future lounge.

Single Cell Orchestra
(Asphodel 0962)
Single Cell Orchestra brings its sweeping string ambience to Vik's for a night of sweet mellow chilling. The beat lies gently under a wash of sweet strings harkening back to a crew of 101, but planted firmly in today. Perfect soundtrack for those nights you just want to sip a margarita and relax.
Towa Tei"Future Listening"
(Elektra 61761)
As one third of the ultra-hip Deeelite, Towa Tei created some of the best dance music for the time. Now solo, his first release brings those dancefloor sensibilities into the future lounge with Future Listening. A little something for everyone here...from bossa nova to dub to EZ to acid jazz and back again. Just listen to the bossa collage of "Technova" to know you have found hipster paradise. Say you want something more trad? "Batucada" will conjure the spirit of '60s Caipiranha drenched nights complete with vocals by Astrudıs daughter, Bebel Gilberto. Or perhaps the '70s soul of "Luv Connection" mixed with a '90s dancefloor funk. Future Listening will provide you a delicious overview of how the past, present and future of lounge can live, lounge and dance together.
