Seal - Best Remixes 1991 - 2005

Some cracking tunes on here but if you love Massive Attack then check out the Nelee Hooper 12” remix of Future Love Paradise. What a find!

Not my usual thing but in the need of man flu induced chilling. Heard their version of Shorter’s Infant Eyes on a Portland jazz radio station. Butcher Brown Letters from the Atlantic - sweet jazzy randb grooves.
