Frank Ocean – Lost
This song is awesome.
In my opinion, this is the best song off of Hôtel Costes 15. It’s in German. Pretty good lounge music.
I first came across Intergalactic Lovers while listening to the latest Hôtel Costes album (#15). On that compilation, Stéphane Pompougnac features the song Fade Away. Liking it quite a bit and piquing my interest, I got a hold of Intergalactic Lovers’ debut album, Greetings & Salutations, gave it a whirl, and found more gems like Queen of the Signs, Look at those Boys, and Delay.

Saori Yuki lent the voice and updated by Pink Martini, this is a great rendition of Ayumi Ishida’s Blue Light Yokohama.

Hilary Hahn and Valentina Lisitsa put on a fun performance. The main draw was Hilary’s playing of Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven. Nevertheless, I enjoyed listening to a selection from Hilary’s Encores project, my favorite of which was Christos Hatzis’ Coming To.
