Comment:

Even though I invariably spend 80% of it turning beetroot red, I love the summer, so the original idea here was to make a soundtrack to complement it. However, while the tracks were being put together, it somehow turned into a soundtrack for the weather - lots of sunshine, but the occasional thunderstorm too, just to clear the air. Many thanks to Thomas for the Gabor Szabo and g@b.labs for the Off The Sky! Title paraphrased from Mylo.

Looks like some hot fun for the summertime. Sunshine should really have its own soundtrack.
