The Police Box: The Police Box 2
Bursting with exclusives and welcoming back some of our favourites, another ten of plenty.
Wreck on the Highway Boy
Y'all Is Fantasy Island
Hell for leather rock 'n' roll. No better way to open a compilation really.
Pernickitty Jack
The Aliens
Classic? Hell yeah! Mad as barrel of trout? That too! Effortless brilliance on this pre-release Ten Tracks exclusive.
Or Optimism
Popolo
Have you heard of math-pop? Technical, layered grooves, but even more fun than a wrestle with your mad auntie. Optimism - you have now.
Magnolia Lane
Satellite Dub
Aggro and peace shaken up in a kind of musical argument; keeps the synapses guessing and the feet jumping. Good job that man.
Turnstile (JAQ remix)
FOUND
There are remixes and the are full-reimaginings: here FOUND's haunting vocal is taken and run with a mile by the Quartet's loping groove. Like getting lost in the woods, and loving it.
Built-In Redundancy (Mandy's remix)
Super Adventure Club
No need to try-try-try when making brilliant off-kilter pop comes this easy. So sit back and enjoy. If you get a twitch in your elbow as a result, it's healthy, so dinny worry.
Easy Jet
Foxgang
Combining wickedly satirical lyrics with an irresistible party vibe, this'll take you back to mid-July with only a tinge of sangria-soaked regret.
Music Hall
Punch & The Apostles
If you crossed Sparks, Jacques Brel and Al Bowlly, you'd probably go mad faster than you could say 'Frankenstein disco'. But it'd be a whole load of fun, and sound a bit like this.
The First Monkey in Space
William Douglas
Why be metaphorical when you can just write a true-as song about the first monkey in space? Just tell it straight and sing it clear and you're on to a winner.
Wicker Basket
Rob St John
Dammit this is good. It's lo-fi and folky, very British and reminiscent of a number of greats... but it sounds like he could be in your living room, telling it to you like a friend. And in a sense, of course, he is.

Love the image for Easyjet! Hello to everyone at Ten Tracks and all you merry Scottish music makers.
So, as a subscriber I can download all ten in one package? Guys, that's not making me want to be a subscriber. That's making me want to find a site that's not from 1996. So stop punishing me for throwing (albeit tiny amounts of) money at you, and embarrassing yourselves, please? Cheers, ta
Hi Johannes,
Thanks for signing up to Ten Tracks, and for your feedback.
The main incentives for becoming a subscriber are that you get two months free out of twelve, and that getting your music is easier because the tracks are available automatically each month. The 'download all' option is just another perk, while we work out a way to make this function more widely available.
We're working on different options, and will be making 'download all' much more readily available soon. I should point out that, in terms of buying a personally chosen selection, and downloading all these at once, we know of no other sites that give this option without additional software - so it's not like we're caught in 1996 on that score. Thanks for bearing with us though; we want to make the site as user-friendly as possible and are looking into a range of different options.
We clocked your request for gift subscriptions too. It's another thing we're working on, so thanks for the encouragement!
Dear Ten Tracks. Is Ten Tracks the cheapest retailer of lossless quality downloads in the world?
