Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

20 ORIGINAL MOD CLASSICS

Received this cd as a pressie this morning & after my initial apprehension decided that it wasn't bad at all. The title (like 1000s of previous, similar compilations is a bit dodgy), & you'll either love or hate the "Sound Affects" pastiche cover. Some tracks are derivative & veterans of many previous comp's, though one or two really stand out & make this an interesting addition to the collection. All in all, well worth downloading & sticking onto a CD to play in the motor...
