01 - Stille Nacht - Silent Night

From the CD "Holiday Music" recorded December 2010.

13 No Place Like Home For The Holidays

la la la
The sand calls
The sand calls
Oh

Walking slow
Something pulls me through this land
Can't say what, can't say when
Mirage shimmers on the sand
la la la

Sand and moon, sand and moon
Take me there, take me soon
Sand and moon, sand and moon
Guide me gently in this dune
Oh oh oh

Dunes roll on like waves at night
Ancient voices lost from sight
Wind knows all the secret ways
Shows me stories, makes me stay
la la la

Sand and moon, sand and moon
Take me there, take me soon
Sand and moon, sand and moon
Guide me gently in this dune
Oh oh oh

What am I searching for
In this space so wide
What am I searching for
Under endless skies
la la la

Footsteps fade behind tonight
Only stars and shifting ground
Desert speaks in tongues unknown
Echoes lost, but I am found
Oh

Sand and moon, sand and moon
Take me there, take me soon
Sand and moon, sand and moon
Guide me gently in this dune
Oh oh oh

The sand calls
la la la
Take me there, take me there

Sand and Moon

London, England. Ben Ayres & Tjinder Singh's own label. Come & join us for an independent take on music, music, music. Home of The Sufis, Cornershop, Sudden Death of Stars, Gloria, Matsuki Ayumu & The Smoking Trees, & The Masaki Hanakata and more. 

"Ample Play, masters at unearthing the world’s weird sounds” NME Magazine 

"Ample Play is truly a label of love, bringing you new rock in the great explorer's tradition of Elektra, Island and Apple." David Fricke, Rolling Stone, USA


Both Tjinder & Benedict are avid record collectors, who met when they both studied at Preston Polytechnic.  Tjinder became the Union Social Executive whilst Ben went to London to work in a vinyl record pressing plant.  As Cornershop took off and developed, so did the amount of Turbans they had to wear, and Ample Play Records is the culmination of all that work and experience, backed by freedom & enjoyment, with 'Music 10 Commandments'.
