A bit of both really ol' chap, but not too much of the latter. What caught my eye was the track listing. When did you ever see : BBC Radiophonic Workshop - Dave Angel - Japan - Mama Cass - Thin Lizzy - Siouxsie & The Banshees - Supergrass - Saint Etienne - Jesus & Mary Chain and Bernard Cribbins on the same complilation ? And, the plus point, it works, in fact its fucking brilliant (imo). I got sent the cd foc - as I used to dj and am still on lots of promo mailing lists, in fact I still do dj [1] every now and then, but its one of those cd's I'd have quite happily bought with my own wonga.
