I was listening to a lot of stuff from Tim’s Twitter Listening Party and it shows: Chemical Brothers, Cornershop and Lanterns On The Lake are things I would not have heard otherwise, and would have missed out on. Some all times faves in here for good measure (Mortal Kombat, Sea Power in their former British identity, some wonky 80s remix action from Paul White and Kelly Marie nicking material intended for Elvis’ disco phase). Plus loads of new (well, new at the time) hip-hop, punk and rave stuff to glue it all together. Like Mac Sabbath, the McDonalds themed Black Sabbath tribute band, a great tribute to Louis Theroux and David Attenborough by Debbie Downers and Knife Party’s absolute EDM whopper.
Highlights: Lanterns On The Lake. To me it’s a powerful bit of stuff. Subtle and emotional guitar work and grand grand sentiment in the lyrics. Beautiful.
