LAZY SUNDAY – EMI

This 40 track compilation opens with the catchy Forever Young to get you started on your Sunday morning chores. The next few tracks seem fairly ordinary before Damien Rice bellows out the chorus ‘can’t take my eyes off you’ and Dido lifts the pace with White Flag. The tempo then slows again – time to time to take the washing out maybe. Then Peta Morris’s Sunshine Eyes and Bob Evans’ Can’t Take My Eyes Off You enthuses you for more energetic activities. There’s a lot of mellowing-out tracks courtesy of Sarah McLachlan and the husky Emiliano Torrini and many others for the morning coffee break. The beginning tracks of the second disc seem to be more cerebral, with Cold Play’s Don’t Panic, Missy Higgin’s Nightminds, Natalie Merchant’s Build a Levee and Beth Orton’s Conceived. Just the sort of accompaniment for clearing up before falling asleep in the sun, as I did while listening to the second half of this disk ‘ making for a very Lazy Sunday.
