There is no other band on this earth like Bossk. They are not just unique, they are unreplicable. Fiercely independent, they produce music because they want to as opposed to because they have to. This is not their day jobs and this is not their primary source of income. This has given them the freedom to be beholden purely to their creative urges and reject all the trappings of the corporate machine. This creative freedom has given them the ability to build astonishing sonic cathedrals that provide the soundtrack to the contemplation of life’s big questions.

This entry does ignore our usual rule of no compilations as this is just that, a compilation. It collects rare recordings that have not found their way onto streaming sites. In many ways I should have rejected it straight off. It however has wheedled its way in to the list because of two very specific reasons. Firstly, you are not going to find these songs anywhere else. It can ostensibly be described as a new album as for many of us these songs are new. Secondly and probably most importantly it is bloody brilliant, and it would be quite simply cutting my nose off to spite my face if I said I couldn’t feature it.
