 Track listing

HHYMN – ‘These Hands’ This track is taken from their debut album 'In The Depths' originally released last year on the Denizen Recordings. The album was a result of the band members retreating into "a wilderness world of zithers, mandolins, ukuleles, harmoniums, dulcimers, double basses, brass and brushes". A truly wonderful album, which 'This Is England' director, Shane Meadows described as his "favourite album of the year".

Napoleon – ‘Lament’ From the self-titled album, Napoleon (who some may know as Simon Mills, formerly of the duo Bent) delivers the album on the label Godlike & Electric. "Low-key disco beats get glam treatments, thought-provoking vocal samples are spread over unique house rhythms, and seemingly countless other vanguard arrangements turn the album into stereo modern art". Chris Fore, QRO Magazine.

We Show Up On Radar – ‘The Anchors in Your Heart’ Taken from the album released this September through Hello Thor Records. Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Andy Wright – the man inside We Show Up On Radar – has conjured up this 11 song popular melodrama with the help of producer Jason Boshoff (Basement Jaxx, Lisa Hannigan, Groove Armada). It is music that is full of contradictions – childlike and sweet, but a bit wrong, terribly sad, but hopelessly uplifting.

Angels in the Architecture – ‘A Real Thrill’ Taken from their self-title album released through FA Recordings, the musical eclecticism within this record; salutes a rich and harmonious tapestry of musical routes and influences, from Jazz, Acoustic Soul, Pop and Folk. Each song being recorded live by Colin Elliot at Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield, this album is not to be missed.

Test Machine – ‘Sleep All Day’ Taken from the album entitled 'Dereverberation' released through FA Recordings. Described as a "journey into a fusion of Sixties Art Rock, Seventies Garage and dark Naughties Ambiance, brooding scratchy soundscapes, with the sound of classic guitars and a Wurlitzer piano". The album aims to create visual imagery in the listener's mind whilst using simplicity to provide a platform from which the listener can dream.

Radium 88 – ‘Lady of Perpetual Motion’ Taken from the 'Escaping Tomorrow' album released on FA Recordings, which is described as thoughtful melodic Electronica with elements of Dub, Classical, Folk and Psychedelia. The sound could be loosely described as crystalline, angelic vocals soaring effortlessly above a Blade Runner soundtrack as re-envisioned by Massive Attack. Or equally, the sort of sound you might get if Bjork were to collaborate with Philip Glass or Orbital with Beirut.
