Various Artists 2007-05-08T00:10:00-05:00 2 12rec 1

Without doubt, one of our favourite releases of last year. I think the 12rec description is perfect : An adventurous mindset is about the only thing the bands on this record have in common. They draw their influences and ideas from a diverse array of areas that range from the serious to the absurd and from the pragmatic to the highly complex. From an outside point of view the various parts of this compilation may seem like a concise and tightly woven section of a tiny fraction of all the music on this planet, but diving into the contents offered herein, you'll find whole worlds opening to you. Essential stuff.
