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').

Wanting a standard nice wallet. Get this
Color: Black, Color: Black
Your standard wallet. Nothing to complain about. Does what it’s supposed to and I have no complaints. The fit is amazing. Holds at least 17 20 dollar bills and over. Durability is also amazing to say the least. Doesn’t rip at all, with a lot of money in it. Its thickness ties in with how much money you can fit in it, so I won’t go into that category. Overall what you see is what you get. A standard, nice, durable wallet that sticks into your pants.

Great value for the style and material
Color: Brown
Purchased as a replacement for my son's previous wallet. He found this same wallet on Timberland's website at a much higher price. He received it and has used it ever since it was delivered. He was very pleased and still is with how soft the wallet is. He likes the style a lot as well.

Perfect wallet
Color: Black (Sportz)
This is a quality wallet that you would think cost more.. nice and thin and that’s why I bought it. My son needed a new wallet and prefers it to be light weight and not bulky. This is perfect. Nice capacity and all you will need. 5 stars.
