THE GENTLE PEOPLE - Soundtracks For Living (Expanded Edition) - 3LP - White Vinyl [APR 24]

3LP - Limited Edition White Vinyl housed in a heavyweight 3-panel Gatefold Sleeve (2026 Reissue). 

"Soundtracks For Living," is the perfect complement for everyday living; whether you're shopping, entertaining in the home, or even driving in a grand prix...Described as the sound of paradise, their music offers a soothing antidote to the harshness of life. The Sound is a fusion of future of ambient psychedelia and future pop. The soundtrack for a new Gentle Generation!

Pressed on limited edition white vinyl, Soundtrack for Living (Expanded Edition) invites long-time fans and new listeners alike to step back into The Gentle People’s universe – a place of fondue parties, bubble chairs, star-lit elevators and endlessly rewinding sunsets, where “the pathway to the stars” is never quite out of reach. 

In an era that often reduces the 90s to big-room bangers and grunge guitars, Soundtracks for Living remains a quietly subversive reminder that the decade was also about imagination, camp, softness and utopian possibility. As later writers have noted, The Gentle People weren’t just a curiosity on a weird label; they became unlikely icons of a whole loungecore moment, gracing TV, compilations and magazine spreads, and proving that tenderness could be as futuristic as any drum machine. 

In conjunction with this release, WRWTFWW has also unearthed The Gentle People’s Peel Sessions, a 4-track EP from their 1997 BBC on-air performance, available on vinyl for the first time ever!
