It’s a funny old album this one, it’s got a sort of quirky pop feel, rather than a dance one which you might expect with all this cut and paste sampling stuff. I like the pop approach but a strong rhythmic drive might have helped to tie it all together and focus it.

It is a whole hodgepodge of stuff but it never gets messy, to be fair, it just runs through seamlessly and easily from start to end.

Is a ‘mash-up’ some kind of legal loophole? I didn’t think nicking bits like this was still legal, not that I’m going to report him or anything, but I did spot a bit of John Hassell, Jon Anderson and his sister Laurie, among others. There’s some nice touches, it’s perhaps a bit of a sleight thing overall, not least because of its brevity, but good fun.

More of a mini-mix than an album as such, when you follow traditional album conventions. Some nice moments and fairly fun but nothing groundbreaking here. A couple of electro samples thrown in which I've frustratingly so far failed to identify.
