* Double Vinyl includes free 2cd set within it's shrinkwrapped packaging
* The second ‘Shapes’ compilation of 2010 - Tru Thoughts A&R Robert Luis treats you to a whopping 30 tracks from artists across the
label’s roster.
* The two disc collection includes more previously unreleased and exclusive cuts than ever, plus many that have only previously been
available on limited vinyl.
* Among the exclusive tracks are Quantic’s remix of Saravah Soul; Smerin’s Anti Social Club doing a great reggae version of Dr Who;
and Stonephace (feat Adrian Utley from Portishead) reworking a Micky Finn rave classic into a psychedelic jazz monster. Maddslinky
(aka Zed Bias) also makes a couple of appearances including the highly rated British future soul track “Further Away” (which was voted
in the Top 5 tunes of 2009 in Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide awards even though it’s not out yet).
* There's a reggae influenced groove from Quantic’s Flowering Inferno, Prince Fatty, Alice Russell and Lanu all getting on the Jamaican
influenced tip. More soulful/sung vocal territory includes an upfront track from Nostalgia 77’s upcoming album (due in 2011) and the
cinematic sound of the amazing Hidden Orchestra, whose debut album, ‘Night Walks’ has just been released to high acclaim and was
September’s Album of the Month on BBC Radio 1 Introducing in Scotland.
* CD Two has plenty of treats with Randomer’s remix of The Bamboos (as played to great reactions by tastemakers including the
legend Danny Krivit); At Jazz remixing Maddslinky; a couple of exclusives from Flevans and some hard beats from Benjamin One (out
of Bristol).
* Also out on double vinyl (which includes the double CD) featuring an exclusive vinyl only track from Benjamin One.
* The cover artwork features the photo, “Embedded”, by USA based artist Mark Jenkins. It’s no photoshop job, but a picture of a
sculpture he made stuffed with balls of sellotape, leaning into that wall!
