Most electronica leaves me cold but this collection of sound sculptures and dance grooves by Bristol's Spookboy is unique. Blending psychedelia, funk and jazz the tracks on this collection are well constructed and multi-layered - like film soundtracks for espionage movies yet to be made. Each song has its own pace and ambience but the overall mood of this compilation is energetic and fresh. Opening track Mont Blanc is on the Myspace linked above and is as cool as the mountain it takes its name from. King of the Hill is a sleazy r'n'b groove, and Penny Sanchez is a slice of Jazzadelica that gets your toes tapping and your mind wandering.
