The singular Los Angeles producer Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel, The Postal Service, Strictly Ballroom) delivers the "twinkly, gentle, and cozy." + Enya, happy accidents, and more.
Loved your essay, Sam. It's been years since I've listened to this album (or the Postal Service); going to need to dig both of those out. And Dntel's looks like a pretty stellar playlist, especially with Wechsel Garland, Swirlies, Kenny Larkin, and Swayzak in there.
Thanks so much for this! Love for the DNTEL and Postal Service early 00s masterpieces. I’m a big fan thanks to the mp3 distro channels that were one of the only chances to get to this music around here for kids who had not the money to buy the records. My partner says she has to dig out the Postal Service t-shirt!
I would read that part of the call/interview too, the ways music got to people back then is great part of the story. maybe i should dig the CDRs from the vaults and see wich warez groups actually released these albums :) and buy that records on vinyl, finally.

Those Enya remixes have been on repeat at my house for about a decade. I love them so damned much. And I love your piece as well! Thank you so much!
