Cast No Shadow is setting the deep night temperature on the dial.

Cast No Shadow by Oasis off (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) is coming through with a candlelit drift, a neon patience / low-lit drift lean, and a touch of low-lit drift. Midnight Blue (2012 Remaster) is already changing how the current record reads.

Lineup note
Cast No Shadow into Midnight Blue (2012 Remaster)

Cast No Shadow by Oasis off (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) belongs here because Midnight Blue (2012 Remaster) by Kenny Burrell and Take Me to the River (Live at Berklee Performing Arts Centre, Boston) by Talking Heads provide a smooth transition from Miles Davis while keeping the emotional pressure steady.. Midnight Blue (2012 Remaster) is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.
