Guidance Recordings returns with the second volume in this acclaimed series exploring the diverse spectrum of sounds emerging from the backroom bars, restaurants and lounges of our planet's urban centers. The sublime selections on Hi Fidelity Lounge Volume 2 are a reflection of the eclectic and open minded musical program that has transformed these venues into a vital and welcome alternative to the corporate club experience. Downbeat masters Thievery Corporation, Alex Gopher, I:cube, Beanfield and more serve up a tantalizing blend of trip hop, jazz, funk, soul, swing, dub, afro, latin and bossa beats custom made for chillin' at your local cocktail lounge or groovin on the dance floor.

DC's undisputed champions of the new lounge sound, Thievery Corporation work their magic on "Incident at Gate 7" a gorgeous mid tempo groover.

Acclaimed French producer I:cube keeps the ambient vibes flowing on "Adore" a sublime soundtrack licensed from the always excellent Versatile label. Breezy, cinematic string set the tone for this heavy sci fi bossa beat odyssey that sounds like it was custom made for the soundtrack to a never released Stanley Kubrik movie. The Gotan Project keep things moving on the neo French funk tip with "El Capitalismo Foraneo " an exquisite composition that blows in as smooth as a tropical breeze. Blissful dubbed out trip hop grooves collide with colorful Mediterranean drenched bandoneon solos compliments of master musician Astor Piazolla.
