Our discussion led to the idea of a compilation LP that would include all of our favourite lounge music and serve as a soundtrack for evenings just like the one we were currently enjoying. As Spencer and Mark slowly but surely willed this into existence, I was thrilled that Two-Piers had included \u003cem\u003eSidereal Day:3\u003c\/em\u003e from our \u003cem\u003eTravelogue Vol 1\u003c\/em\u003e collaboration. It makes me smile that it sits amongst some of the grooviest tracks that you can sip mai tais to. A dream come true.
