...slap the brick sidewalks. Hemlines go up. Seersucker and madras glow prematurely, like early gladiolus. We are 19, or 20, or 21. During the day, we sprawl on patches of grass to sunbathe and complain about how much work we have to do, our voices floating to each other, languid, in the warm air. At night, music and laughter from formals drift from house courtyards out over the river...
...murder-marred Altamont Speedway concert which many have dubbed the event that ended the Sixties. Highlights include a young, comparatively normal-looking Mick Jagger wearing a pi-emblazoned jumpsuit as he struts through “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and a dazzlingly languid “Love in Vain,” full of slo-mo and sensual red lighting.

...result is nothing like Coxon: discreet, primitive plucking, a change that's part of the charm of the album. Recorded in and around a converted barn near Marrakesh - Albarn did all his vocals outside - there is a languid warmth to this record; the tracks feel like they were laid down in the midday sun. "Inevitably it seeps into the sound of the vocals," says Albarn. "It is a very elemental record, it is informed by the weather and environment it was made in." But Think Tank is more than a grown-up-rocker-discovers-Afropop indulgence. The production involvement...
