about

A diverse compilation of tracks from the Lo/Loaf back catalogue spanning nearly 15 years of sonic exploration.

Commencing with the exotic island sounds of Monsters At Work the album continues with Stereolab offshoot Europa 51 and their lush filmic vibes, then into the deep library ambience of Paul Piot and Paul Guiot with a favourite from Barry 7’s Connectors compilation. Taking a left turn towards the dancefloor, San Fran cosmic dude Hatchback mixes Kraut vibes with sun kissed arpeggios before Bernard Fevre aka Black Devil Disco Club drops the classic soft sci-fi electronics of ‘Dali’.

Back to the floor for the killer analog disco of Kerrier District/Black Mustang’s ‘Mad As Hell’ and the epic electro intensity of Cursor Miner’s incredible ‘Sport Of Kings.

Whoever thought Fischerspooner would turn up on Lo? Not us but here they are sounding amazing with the standout track from their album.

More strange pop from Lo’s all time fave band The Chap and getting stranger still we have French mavericks Gable who inject a major slice of darkness into proceedings with ‘I Don’t Know Why’ before Red Snapper rescue our ears with the great ‘Brickred’.

Vowels rip it up in their unique style before the legendary Jean Jacques Perrey (in cahoots with Luke Vibert) gets trippy. Fourtet and Rothko keep it on a heavy eclectic tip, followed by Vincent Oliver’s ‘outsider’ classic ‘Drunk Fun In London’. Next up the inscrutable, inimitable Susumu Yokota with the bizarre but beguiling ‘Purple Rose Minuet’. Into the home straight with a major dose of domestic pop from Seeland, Omo and Dark Captain, Light Captain before we disappear into the mystic distance with Milky Globe in association with the wonderful James Holden.

Another epic journey comes to a close.
