Shapes 08:02’ is a bumper double CD – an amazing 27 tracks in total, with CD1 geared towards the listening experience and CD2 aimed squarely at DJs and clubbers.

‘Shapes 08:02’ covers an expansive selection of music from the brightest talent on the Tru Thoughts roster, and, as always, includes a handful of exclusive tracks and a host of killer remixes from the likes of Domu, Marc Mac (4Hero) and Lack Of Afro.

This collection kicks off with Lizzy Parks’ “Prayer” (a song which could have been written for a Bond movie with its lush orchestrated strings and big brass section, and is taken from her forthcoming album ‘Raise The Roof’) and ends with Redeyes delivering a stomping Afro influenced drum’n’bass remix of “Wouri River” by Me&You. A great variety of music connects the sonic journey between them: the future sounds of Hint, Milez Benjiman and remixers Domu and Bassnectar nestle alongside the authentic flavour of New Orleans from Hot 8 Brass Band; the sound of strictly live music from The Bamboos and TM Juke And The Jack Baker Trio alongside the soulful, unique voices of Kinny, Lizzy Parks, Kylie Auldist and Kathrin deBoer of Belleruche.

Kinny’s “2546 Nice!”, produced by Unforscene, provides a sneak preview of her forthcoming album, which isn’t out until 2009, and this compilation also gives a first ever CD release to three of the most sought-after tracks on the recent digital-only ‘Hot 8 Brass Band – Remixes’ album. On CD2 you’ll find a totally exclusive Quantic track entitled “Disco Caribe”, dancefloor bombs from The Bamboos and Bonobo’s club-centric alias, Barakas, and a storming, exclusive Bullion remix of Natural Self’s “The Rising”.
