Good Morning to the Night

Elton John

A kaleidoscopic reimagining of 70s classics. Elton John's iconic vocals are woven into sun-drenched electronic tapestries of nu-disco and downtempo house.

This album is a masterclass in the art of the respectful reimagining. Rather than simply remixing Elton John's greatest hits, the Australian duo Pnau has deconstructed the master tapes from his 1970 to 1976 golden era, weaving together isolated vocal tracks and instrumental flourishes into entirely new compositions. The result is a sun-drenched, Balearic journey that feels like a hazy memory of a summer afternoon. It is music that exists in the space between the dance floor and the lounge, offering a rhythmic pulse that never feels aggressive.
