Friday Flac and other news
Ok have been thinking about this since Friday, in the future there will be no Friday flac post. I will in the future just post flac when I feel like it, it could now be any day of the week apart from Wednesday as that is the home made compilation day, currently posting Rob n Jnr's Reggae Mix. But once that ends on September 24th we will be posting something new, more news about this will appear on a post here on the site's first birthday on September 30th. I will continue posting The Routes albums in flac, over the next few weeks, so if you have been collecting these, you will have to keep your eyes on the site, for the next posts. So all future flac posts by me will be of single albums posted one at a time, there will be no more multi flac posts.
I have also re-considered not posting on a weekend, all of my post in the future will be whenever I have the time to make a post, be it 320 or flac or in a lower bit rate. Yeah you can program posts to be automatic but I like to post, just what the mood takes me on a certain day, don't like to plan the posts ahead.
I would like to thank the rest of the team for making Vibes work. And Jnr for letting us share his and Rob's Reggae mix here on Vibes. And all of you for visiting the site, but we would like a little more feed back from you all, so if possible try to add a comment when you take something and have a few seconds to spare, it doesn't take long at all.
Don't forget if you find an inactive link here on Vibes, just ask via the comments and we will be happy to re up the link.
You can request an album the same way as reporting an inactive link drop a comment in the box with Artist and album title, together with the year and what bit rate you would like it in. We will try to help you out, but another visitor to Vibes might beat us to it!! Or send us an email to the site address with is in the about us post on the right.

Nightmares on Wax - 1995 - Smokers Delight
Nightmares on Wax - 1995 - Smokers Delight @320
Smoker’s Delight is the second album from Nightmares On Wax. It was released back in 1995 on Warp Records. Nightmares On Wax’s first album was A Word of Science The 1st and Final Chapter and was released on 1991. On that album George Evelyn worked with Kevin Harper, who subsequently left the band prior to the recording Smoker’s Delight.
George Evelyn describes his sounds as a mixture of soul and hip hop. That is apparent when you listen to the Smokers Delight . Also apparent, is Evelyn’s musical influences, which he states are soul music. He grew up listening to, and being influenced by, Curtis Mayfield and Quincy Jones. Maybe that is why there is a soulfulness is his work, especially in Smoker’s Delight and Carboot Soul. Carboot Soul is the follow up to Smoker’s Delight’, and was released in 1999. Evelyn, to some people, is perceived as being responsible for founding the trip hop genre, if so, he deserves our thanks, as many people, like myself, love this genre of music.
When you listen to a Nightmares On Wax, you may find that you recognize some of the tracks. Over the years, many of Nightmares On Wax’s tracks have featured on compilation albums, such as Serve Chilled and Winter Chill on the Hed Kandi label, Cafe Del Mar Volumen Tres and The Chillout Room 2. All of these albums are worth buying as the feature some wonderful downtempo music.
Smoker’s Delight in my opinion, is one of the best downtempo albums ever. I know that is a big statement to make, but if you listen to it, then I am sure that you will find yourself agreeing with me. There are sixteen tracks on Smokers Delight, and from the first track Nights Introlude, to the final track Gambia Via Vagatorbeach, this album is pure quality. You will find within Smoker’s Delight, sixteen tracks that feature, and are full of, atmospheric and soulful sounds and slow, spacey, drumbeats. What you will also hear on this album are gorgeous lush strings and quality rhythms that would not look out of place on a 70’s Philadelphia soul album.
Smokers Delight truly is an album that you will listen to time and time again. Certainly I have had it on heavy rotation since its release back in 1995, and I never tire of hearing this album. In fact, every time I listen to Smokers Delight I hear something new. I am forever hearing subtle nuances that I have never heard before on this album. Should you decide to buy Smokers Delight, it will take you on an interesting and enjoyable aural journey, where you will visit places you have never visited before. Like its follow up Carboot Soul, this is classic downtempo or chill-out album. Smokers Delight will help you relax, unwind, and forget the stresses and worries, of modern day life. Surely if it can do that for you so easily, then it is well worth buying Smokers Delight. In fact, while you are buying Smokers Delight, why not just buy a copy of Carboot Soul as well, and then you will be the proud owner of two of the greatest albums within the downtempo or chill-out genre. Standout Tacks: Nights Introlude, Pipes Honour, Stars, Waiting For A Jeepbeat and When I’m Feeling Good. (DericksMusicBlog)

Well the covers for all three part are exactly the same, there are four tracks in each part, but I am going to upload all three parts in the one link. I looked on Discogs but they are not listed, well I couldn't see them any way. So have added screenshots so you can see the tracklist for each part.

Friday Flac
Ok another Friday and another Flac post, four more albums from The Routes to share today. The post next Friday (25th) will be four more albums from The Routes and the Friday after that (Aug 1st) will contain two albums and the EP's and Singles that I have by The Routes in Flac.
As last week there will not be link to listen to the albums first, before downloading them, but most are on the band's Bandcamp page, so if you require a preview of the album just visit that site.
I would also like to thank Concha for filling some gaps in my Flac collection of The Routes.
The Routes - Instrumentals (2012)
The Routes - Instrumentals II (2021)
The Routes - Dirty Needles and Pins (2017)
The Routes - In This Perfect Hell (2017)
As always the links will be posted in the comments once they have been upload, will take me 10 minutes at the most. Back next week with more Flac from this fine band.
Enjoy, Reb 😎 Links👇

Destination Lonely – Nervous Breakdown (2020) @320
Here is the last of my Destination Lonely shares, I have a copy of the 2025 album, Eat LSD, Pray to Satan, Love no One, but is too new to share here (am sure you all understand why), maybe in a couple of years. If anybody happens to have a copy of their 2012 mini album "Kiss Or Kicks", I would love a copy either in 320 or flac, but if it's lower bitrate then I am fine with that, thanks in advance!! You can either drop a link in the comments or email me a link using the site email address you can find it on the about post on the right.
