Four Tet

Kieran Hebden's contribution to our renowned series of compilations redefines the word ''eclectic''. From sun-kissed 60s psychedelia (Manfred Mann, would you believe?) to cosmic jazz, to skull-crunchin' hip-hop (Gravediggaz) and Terry Riley's tape-loop cut-ups, seriously entertaining and even educational take on the chillout comp - as well as a peek at the myriad influences that are at work in Hebden's own music as Four Tet. Highlights include Icarus' digital jazz deconstructions, the indescribable beauties of Linda Perlhac's Parallelograms and Koushik's woozy funk workouts. All in all, a rare treat composed of, er, rare treats. Thoroughly recommended. Also includes an exclusive cover version of the Jimi Hendrix ''Castles Made Of Sand'' Originally released in 2004 this mix has gone on to be a classic in our 13 year history, it was never released on vinyl at the time, so due to public demand we have carefully mastered each track ad carefully cut at half speed for optimum sonic reproduction.
