"Slip Into Something More Comfortable" is a single released in July 2000 by the British electronic group Kinobe. It features sampling from the work of Engelbert Humperdinck, [1] primarily from the intro to Humperdinck's "From Here to Eternity" recorded in 1968.

Contents

It appeared on the album Soundphiles , released on 17 July 2000, [2] as track 6. The music was published by Zomba Music Publishers Ltd.

The Times described the record as 'fragrant with half-remembered allusions to paradisiacal Far Eastern locations in Sixties movies, undercut with an implied melancholic realisation that all this concocted splendour is impossible, a mere musical mirage'. [3] Kinobe would play The Big Chill (music festival) in 2001, at Lulworth Castle in south Dorset. [4]

Production

It was produced with Ben & Jason. It features harps and glissandi violins. [5]
