Sisterlove, The
The Hypnotist
Quite possibly the quintessential chill-out track of the early 90s, SisterLove's 'The Hypnotist' appeared on Jose Padilla's iconic 'Cafe Del Mar' compilation CD back in 1994; and FdM is more than a little bit pleased with itself to be able to reissue the recording on 7" vinyl over 30 years later. OK, so this is pretty much off the scale for Fruits de Mer, but it sums up Ibiza/Café de Mar/90s ambience for me I've been trying to track down the originators/owners for years and when I finally caught up with one of them, the chance to put the track out was simply too good to miss. SisterLove was Clif Brigden (Age Of Chance, World Of Twist) and Jeremy Leahy (The Gentle People); they came up with this blissed-out, downtempo, ambient groove, released on the ON label in 1992, sampling hypnotist Barrie Konicov in one of his many self-help hypnosis programs. Sadly, Jeremy died in 2021 but Clif has worked with FdM to bring a remastered 'The Hypnotist' to a new audience and hopefully remind a slightly older one of some magical times.
