Can't really get on with it that much.

Try and get hold of their Essential Mix they did for Radio 1 back in the summer. Someone was telling me about it on Friday so I downloaded it over the weekend.

It's bonkers. Starts off with Hey Boy Hey Girl then goes into Run DMC vs Jason Nevins and then goes on to cram in 50-odd tracks in just two hours, covering loads of genres. It's got all the nu-rave stuff like NYPC and CSS but throws in bizarre olders tracks likle the Exploited, Gary Numan, Joy Division and the Clash.

It's a bit like wot Hooky's doing - mix of the old and new, punk and house - but taken to a more extreme level.

Worth a look. It's easy enough to find on t'interweb.

Just downloaded it from Here aye , cheers for the rec. listening now good start with Transmission sample and then into the chems

Fcul me they do come in handy these end of year fave 5 threads for catching up on anything good you've missed , aye .In the old days used to get the nme for the end of year catch up except you couldn't really sample anything without shelling out the readies!

a lot of mentions for LCD - sound of silver. i got a lad in work to download me that.

played it in the car twice. god it was terrible.
fuck knows where it is now.

This is fabulous--thanks for all the tips. The only new album I got in 2007 was In Rainbows--hard to keep up with interesting contemporary music, esp. here in the US where these bands never get any airplay (unless it's on internet radio or you have a cool college radio station in your area).

Yeah, I'm with you. I gave it a listen based on the rec's here and liked the synthy rhythmic stuff - can definitely see the PC&L comparison - but the vocals are fucking awful.

Should've stuck to instrumentals I probably would have liked it. As it was I couldn't stand it, called my girlfriend at the record store and told her not to pick it up. Saved by iTunes.
