Future Jazzers, notorious experimentalists and outfield eccentrics stumble onto the dancefloor. In the 90s. In the UK. From an electronic music perspective, the period 1992 to 1996 in the UK that this compilation celebrates, was one of dizzying sonic diversification. It was also a particularly turbulent time in the UK, not only politically and economically, but also culturally too. Economic catastrophe in '92 was followed by widespread poverty, a cost of living crisis and countless political scandals. Meanwhile, John Major's Tory government pandered to it's political base via unpleasant, authoritarian legislation that seemingly sought to crush rave culture, alternative lifestyles, and traveller communities. The UK was not so much a 'Happy Land' - to quote the name of this compilation - as an angry and divided one. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Throughout, the music created by producers based across these Isles remained uniquely British, speeding up a process begun in the late 1980s through the emergence of street soul, bleep & bass and breakbeat hardcore - musical styles whose roots in multicultural inner-city communities made them distinctly different from the Black American sounds that had inspired their creators. It was here, rather than in the indie pubs of Camden, that real musical revolutions were taking place. This deep diving selection brings together some truly adventurous and original electronic music from this period, much of it very hard to find. Major label outings connect with white label oddities with ease. Perhaps it could even be argued that many of these unearthed gems fit more easily into DJ sets in 2023 than they ever did at the time. The off-kilter swing of Richard D James' obscure and highly sought after Strider B outing, 'Bradley's Robot' is joined by further rare cuts from Cabaret Voltaire and the Black Dog, and artists as diverse as Ultramarine, Herbert, Fretless AZM, and Radioactive Lamb, amongst others. This collection has been lovingly selected, compiled and mastered for maximum sonic playback. This very special release boasts sublime pastoral themed artwork, as well as informative and passionate liner notes by celebrated music scribe Matt Anniss ('Join The Future').

Great throw blanket with lots of fuzz
Color: Pink Ribbed, Size: Throw(50"x60"), Color: Pink Ribbed, Size: Throw(50"x60")
Very soft and cozy throw blanket, very pretty light pink color. It's big enough for one person like most throw blankets. Crazy coupon lady cued me into a discount so I got for a great price. My only complaint is that it leaves fuzzies everywhere- I highly recommend washing it before using- see pictures. Over all though a great throw blanket - soft and breathable fabric- worth the cost, but I've never seen a blanket throw so many fuzzies out of the package. Recommended, unless you're wearing a black suit.

Great price for such a warm, soft blanket.
Color: White Ribbed, Size: Queen(90"x90")
Super soft blanket that I lay across my bed but I have taken it on road trips to snuggle up with in the car and will use it when curling up to watch a good movie. Not very thick but is certainly warm. I ordered white and I absolutely love it. The texture adds nice contrast to my comforter.
