The third album from the absolute ambient catalogue is an epic fusion of electronica and ambient chill from the Brighton based collective Pan Electric. After two pure ambient releases producer/writer Matt Coldrick has ventured more into melody and groove without losing the tapestries and colours that defines the absolute ambient sound.
Conscious Pilot features the exceptional Rhodes piano talents of Neil Cowley (Zero 7, Brand New Heavies,) giving an inspired improvisational narrative to the arrangements. Lush Beach Boys-esque vocals from Brighton's Dan Burke and performances from Julie Kench (Swingle Singers) create ethereal, ghostly, almost nostalgic passages, as though the radio in the background was tuned to 1967. The magic dust comes from Pedal steel master, BJ Cole whose session history with major artists is astonishing. His contribution adds a golden texture that helps define the unique style of the album.
Conscious Pilot has been gestating for three years; It has taken on its own shape and form in that time and its release marks a progressive moment in the evolution of the label...

Damn! Making me want even more music is unfair.

Have been listening to Pan Electric a lot the last days, also to the collaborations with Ishq and Alexander Daf.
I also stumbled upon this nice live version on youtube:

Thanks for bumping this. Pulled it off the shelf and have been enjoying it. "When You Are Loved" is always a favorite track for me. Such an uplifting positive feel!
