St Germain - Sure Thing

I recently featured Esperanza Spalding and also had a post about Chillwave. Here is something with the elements of both by St. Germain off his 2000 album Tourist. Both chill and jazzy this track ends up sounding like the definition of cool. He uses samples from Miles Davis & John Lee Hooker from 'Harry's Philosophy', from The Hot Spot soundtrack as well as the beginning of the rad funk track by Windy C track 100% Pure Poison. The Tourist album reminds me of my days traveling in Europe every time I hear it. It got heavy rotation on my discman back around 2000. Remember discmans? They've already went the way of the 8 track player. Are Ipods going to be $5 a piece at thrift stores in 2016?
