Ibibio Sound Machine – heard the name, but know nothing more… I will now investigate further. That’s what’s great about these ‘mixtapes’, finding new avenues to explore, so cheers for that.

You’re welcome! And thanks for yours, too.

Here’s the tracklist @moseleymoles & @lemonhope 1. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Pelvis – Barry Adamson (ft. Jarvis Cocker) 2. Desire – Graham Coxon, Paloma Faith & Bill Ryder-Jones 3. Push – […]

2. Ah, I do vaguely remember that Robbie Williams one they did. Interesting. 3. I only know them from The Race and the ‘chicka-chick-ahh’ one from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, so would never have guessed this in […]

@moseleymoles 1. Strike up the choir! No idea who or why, but it’s pleasant enough. Certainly an unexpected beginning… where’s this going to go? 2. …not where I was expecting it to go, that’s for sure! Now […]

Cheers @Lemonhope Agree with side 2, I was going to drop one of the soul tunes, but those two just do ‘desire’ the best! A1. All one song. Yes, it’s him, but not in the day job. Track comes from a […]

@lemonhope 1. I recognise the vocalist (or “MC” as da little’uns might say), but not heard this track before. Reminds me a bit of New Kingdom, with the slow reversed drums/sounds. I like psychedelic hip hop, so […]

Cheers @gary (Yes, Mr and Mrs Cucumber were big fans of ‘Da Do Ron Ron’ by the Crystals).

Hello @moseleymoles @lemonhope Is there a theme to the CD? There usually is but I can’t see one mentioned on the threads this time around.

Yes please.

Thanks Gents for your comments and thoughts, so here’s my tracklist.

In footballing terms I went very much ‘route-one’ with the theme in this mix.
I won’t spoil it though, see if you can work it out..?

1. […]

Track 6 is indeed fairly recent. I’ve always thought of AC/DC with this one, but get what you mean about proggy-pop. It’s a banger, as da kidz might say.

Track 10 seems to have worked for you both. I’m not up […]

Re: 2, I hadn’t made that Nu Shooz connection but, after a bit of investigation, it’s not sampled from there but goes further back to the 70’s and ‘Funkanova’ by Wood Brass & Steel (go to about 1min 45). Never […]

Ahh, The Moons… I know ‘of’ them because, as you probably know yourself, some of them make up Weller’s band these days, though I’ve never heard them before. I really like the melody of this track a lot, will […]

Nope, I’m resisting temptation to sneak a peek.

Track 1 seems to have struck a chord or two!

And having only just joined the dots with your name Mickey, I’ll be amazed it 11 doesn’t turn out to be Suede. Though it appears from @bamber ‘s comments that it’s […]

Here’s my review of @bamber ‘s disk.

1. Ah-ha! I recognise this one. Don’t know much about these lot except the bits I’ve heard on 6music, including this track. They’re a very 6music sort of band, if you kno […]

Here’s my review of @metal-mickey ‘s disk.

1. Sounds a little like This Is The Kit, but I think it’s a bit too polished for her. The strings sound familiar, but I can’t place this artist or track. I do love it […]

Messaged you both my address… let’s get burnin’.
