Interactive Playlist: Summer Vibes!

You don't have to include this, but this song is the summer song for me. I went on a trip my young kids and wife to an all-inclusive resort in the Yucatan (really superb). I went to Mexico for places like Chichen Itza, swimming in ceynotes, the beaches and islands, but in the end it was the drinking cocktails and eating delicious food at the resort that was the highlight. While at the pool, I decided to put on Magma's Attahk with earbuds, partially because I got so tired off one person who was playing out loud that "I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night" song again and again. For some reason "Nono" really became my summer song with good vibratioons there. This is my ultimate happy song that I associate with summer and for that reason I feel that I would be remiss to not mention it. Magma - Nono (off the album Attahk from 1978 from Kobaïa via France) Glad to have you on board with us, Greg! Of course I will include your track. The main thing is we have fun here and the stories behind our choices, that's what makes the music so special.- Two years ago, I booked a cruise to the Caribbean, including Cuba, Jamaica, Yucatan and Mexico City but the trip was cancelled due to the pandemic. I hope I can catch up with that trip as soon as work allows me. ___________________________ TO ALL Guys, don't hesitate to bring your fave summer hits, I can include them in a separate category. And prog is also ok as long as you suggest also other genres. Let's just have fun!

That sounds like what would have been an excellent trip.

I had four tracks that came to mind very quickly, and while I had some concern with the Magma, I also do with another act's music that I want to nominate. I have been very into Boards of Canada for the last few years especially. I nominated Boards of Canada track, Dayvan Cowboy, off The Campfire Headphase (2005) in 2021, and in your last one, Mila, Interactive Poll: It Takes Two! from a few months, I nominated The Beach at Redpoint off Geogaddi (2002) and now I want to nominate a track off my favourite Boards of Canada album, which also has been, I think my number one summer song from what may be my number one summer album particularly over the last two years (the year before that it would have been something Serge Gainsbourg, and while Nono was the first to come to mind and always put a smile on face, Boards of Canada has got more play than Magma these last two years). This and Magma's Nono are I think my ultimate summer tracks. I did wonder, should I go for something that I also associate with summer that is not as important to me or vice versa? The heart won, yeah, that's right.

Boards of Canada - Aquarius (off music has the right to children 1998, and it's Scottish in case some would assume otherwise).
