Beast of a compilation

[BlodwynPig]

DJ Rat-Ward seems to be a man after my own heart - a diverse and interesting taste in music that straddles the whole gamut of great but less explored genres (may be not so much nowadays as everyone and their cousin are exploring Afro Fuzz and Surf Garage).

However, I've only just recently downloaded some of his Transistor Heart mixes. First up - look at this beast - Chrome's TV as Eyes, Pink Fairies Do it, Chrisma, Brainticket/Joel Vandroogenbroeck, Wicked Witch (!), Braen's Machine...a 20 year old Blodwyn's wet dream. I'm sure some of you on here will also be salivating. His blogspot page for this series is HERE, with slightly different versions of some mixes too.
