Tina Dico

Ignore the pathetically sad title of this excellent compilation. The music, selected by Messrs. Claude and Jean-Marc Challe of Buddha Bar fame, is quite simply gorgeous downtempo bliss. Imagine trying to seduce Barbarella-era Jane Fonda armed only with this mix and a pint of creme de menthe. She wouldn't stand a chance. Sleazy, sultry and rather grubby in that way only the French seem to be able to manage, for which we must grudgingly thank them. It's pointless singling out a particular track -- just start at the beginning, pour yourself a large one and enjoy.
