The Gentle People were a Los Angeles-based band formed in 1995 by musicians variously from the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, performing under the names Dougie Dimensional, Laurie LeMans, Valentine Carnelian, and Honeymink.[1] Their sound explored lounge and easy listening aesthetics from the 1950s in the context of 1990s club culture.[1] They signed to Aphex Twin's independent Rephlex Records label in 1995 and released two albums: Soundtracks for Living (1997) and Faboo (1999).[1] They attracted an international following in the UK, Japan, and US, where they appeared on various lounge and exotica compilations.[1] Their work was also remixed by artists such as Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert, and DJ Wally.[1]
