Classic Album Sundays Podcast: Nightmares On Wax ‘Smokers Delight’

Celebrate 25 years of Smokers Delight  with Colleen
‘Cosmo’ Murphy and special guest George Evelyn of Nightmares on
Wax. They will discuss his musical roots and the evolution of
Nightmares on Wax alongside playing some of the samples Evelyn
excavated from some of his most cherished LPs.


Nightmares on Wax’ sophomore LP was a defining moment of ’90s
trip hop and downtempo sound along with other heavy-hitters
including Massive Attack’s Blue Lines,
Portishead’s Dummy and Tricky’s Maxinquaye. The LP
fused together a cornucopia of sound: “It was all the things that
turned me on: reggae, soul, and through sampling and digging, hip
hop was the backbone,” Evelyn said of the samples
on Smoker’s Delight in Joe Muggs’ book Bass, Mids,
Tops.
