Nightmares on Wax - Les Nuits

[@LucienneLopez]

Honestly, I still get the same goosebumps as i did when I first heard it in 2000. It's my alarm music and will be the song I listen to for the rest of my life. It's never gotten old.

[@ElJaf17]

That's a lush idea - the alarm. I love this piece of music soooo much. I have a similar sentiment towards a song I've owned since 14yrs old and it's my alarm too hehe.

[@shanonhayes6834]

How do you make it your alarm music? Do you have to download it ? Apologises I know its probably a stupid question, me and technology don't really mix to well

[@DeFiSiYT]

Oh wow, I forgot that this came out in 2000! Great idea about having it as your alarm music. I had Honey by Tosca (one-half of Kruder and Dorfmeister) as my alarm for years. Another great song that will never get old!

[@Wundernuts]

Goosebumps 💯 yes! Hair on my arm and neck standing up laying in bed stroking the shoulder of my slumbering baby after an evening out (Les Nuits - the night - indeed; I used to think it was l'ennui 🤦). A trip-hop classic I had forgotten. The 3 min radio edit is wonderful, but the twice-as-long LP version takes it even further. Love love love this song (and your story of appreciating it!).

[@Willesden_Rab1_TV]

had this on CD - Hed Kandi: Serve Chilled 🌛 but must have been 2003-4 truly is a masterpiece + also impressed how well the video compliments the track - great work

[@adrienrassat1965]

The chord progression of these violins is simply unforgettable. What a masterpiece

[@MrGavj]

1998, a fellow students room. Bean bag, room full of happy people, smoking the J...this album was dropped in to his CD player and changed my life. So soulful, so "next level", so perfect for those times. It has stuck with me and I always keep coming back to it

[@ЕкатеринаХананова-т6ш]

I remember it in to the CD collection Cafe del Mar)

I found this music and felt so good when I was twenty. I’m over forty now and am still here. I guess that I would be listening to this in the rest of my life.

Nightmares on Wax just recently appeared on stage during an open air Jazz concert here in Nuremberg. I almost started to cry when they played Les Nuits together with a Big Band. It was an incredible listening experience.

Aww... this version is cutting short the best part of the song - that moment when the mellow bassline fades and only the strings remain, to put you into a mood of sweet, relaxed melancholy.

I separated from my partner at the time this cane out and I suffered as shit to break up with him and seeing him suffer but I just ciuld go on anymore. This song was actually on a Café del Mar album he gave me that precise moment. This song made me cry my soul out and for years I could even hear it. It reminds me of such a tine, our son was little and I felt like the worst person on earth. This takes me back to a very dark period of my life, I was weighing 48kg, so, so thin and always getting ill. For years he did not accept the end of our relationship and made my life miserable, to a point he actually hit me. Made my life so hard.
