Comment:

yes, i know it's been done before, but a) not by me and b) not with these tracks, for the most part. i started scribbling the ideas for this down at work yesterday, then went home and burnt it - had to stop at nineteen because i didn't have a decent '20' and i'd used up all the disc space anyway. i'd got up to 27 but missed out 20 and 21, so suggestions for a volume two are welcome.

twenty-one by the lucksmiths. they also do a twenty-two. fun stuff, it's always nice to see someone try to do something that's already been done and do it justice.

lordy lordy. this is wicked, even without the incredible theme. though two states is such a horrible song... huge respect for gallo, cex, tortoise, bowie and spiritualized.
yeah tiger army do a cover of 20 flight rock too.

and there was me, waiting apprehensively for Paul Hardcastle's 19 to crop up as the finale and ruin all your hard work.
