The Police Box: The Police Box 6
Spoken word leads and the long-tail follows in The Police Box's most adventurous ten to date. Prejudices best left at the checkout.
Holy Land
Northern Xposure
The NXPSR crew make you understand why the future may well not, in fact, be orange.
Segregation (Profisee/Cloak x Dagger)
Profisee
Profisee's lyrics in this one call to mind that Streets song about that lad Terry and the peace loving student, but with much harder hitting lyrics, underpinned by Cloak x Dagger's banging yet emotive production.
Soul Rebel
Sileni
The black metal of hip hop? Experimental electronica with spoken word? What it'd feel like to die today? All these: hear this and weep.
Noises Like Ashes
The Foundling Wheel
The tone and occasionally spoken aspect of the performance of Noises like Ashes earns The Foundling Wheel a place amid the dark spoken-word tracks of March 09's Police Box compilation.
Wow it was Really Amazing
Ross Campbell
Experimental sampling that makes David Lynch's early work seem somewhat mainstream - the question of whether this is live or not may be part of the art... Lossless download highly recommended for a good speaker system.
Mallet Loop
Urban Farmhand
For all you musos out there, much of this is in 13. For non-musos, it still feels natural. Unusual instrumentation and a playful tone make this 'loop' sit happily alongside big 20th century names in jazz and world music.
Mullokian (B-Burg Remix)
FOUND
For all bass-biased listeners, B-Burg adds high phat content to one of FOUND's classics. Nice track art too...
Epicentre
Freemoore
This tune is almost euphorically re-assuring with a bass-synth that rivals, note for note, the warmth and melodic authority of In Rainbows' most comparable bassline... and then the sample kicks it into another league.
Where The Back Roads Look Divine
Yusuf Azak
Disarmingly and unassumingly great melodic structure on this tune, as well as a truly unique feel.

Just seen/listened to you (Freemore) at Voodoo Rooms, caught Rosy and the one about Repeating (love this, will spend the night asking my lover 'do you love me, do you, do you love me, do you...', if your hear a man has thrown himself from the fifth floor of Ramsay Garden.....), anyway, I digress, how the hell do I find your music to download/buy/whatever, this snippet wouldn't persuade a toad?
