30. Control Me - Sub6 - Sub6 - Saved (ep)
A pleasant bit of trance to kick off the evening.
29. Good To Know - I Create - Complete Medley
I love the mixture of low key guitar and screaming. Always a pleasure.
28. Spring Republic - Firebrand Boy - Songs for Cake
The first chiptune entry. Hooray!
27. New Direction - Gorilla Biscuits - Revelation Records Crash Course
Any song that starts with a fanfare can't be all bad.
26. Cuddly Toy - Beverley Knight - Soul UK
After breaking from The Pips to pursue a solo career, Beverley has knocked up some covers of famous soul tracks. Here's one of Roachford's 'Cuddly Toy'.
25. Twisted Again - Dag Nasty - Revelation Records Crash Course
Perennial Peel show favourites, Dag Nasty are a group that I've never got into. But this track is fair enough.
24. Camel Bucks - Comadre - Comadre / Trainwreck split 12"
This bloke has got a quality voice. Beautiful.
23. Stupid Game - Melanie C - The Sea
This album is way better than the blip that was 'This Time'. Definitely back on form.
22. Leaves Before Autumn - Julianna Raye - Dominoes
Prepare yourself for some premium rumba action. It doesn't sound too dissimilar to the Mr Rossi theme tune, which can't be a bad thing.
21. Freedom Of Someone's Conscience - Challenger - Against The Fate
A bit of an epic affair to end the evening.
