"Over the past decade, music historian and pop doyen Bob Stanley has curated a series of compilations for imaginary places. These compilations have tended to explore music of eras long past, allowing for a brilliant slice of life. Stanley has taken listeners to fictional cafes, pubs, nightclubs and delis, as well as Central Park and London's shopping districts. For his latest installment, Stanley broke with the formula and created a more modern collection. Tim Peaks: Songs From A Late-Night Diner finds Stanley joined by Tim Burgess to assist him. The musical setting is a bit more fluid, and the material a bit more generalized, offering an international mix of songs from the post-punk era to the present day.Tim Peaks is dark and gray; a little cold, a little melancholic".
