BACKGROUND
I've not actually tested these tracks in sequence other than in my head but they are all wonderful! I wanted to open with an instrumental piece and for this to be followed by something bouncy with vocals. Track 3's eerie, dream-like ambience would suit the lateness of the hour before the contrast of Composer of the Week rewoke the listener in terror. If I could curate Meltdown, this would be one of the concert line-ups.Large Number is ex-Add N to (X)'s Ann Shenton who has ditched her old band's sound, opting instead to graft Messiaen to the Radiophonic Workshop with glue made from a Pop sensibility.
