"As though that wasn’t enough there’s also the inclusion of three specially cobbled together ‘Dr Sardonicus’ compilations – one for each night of the event. And it's these that we turn our attentive eye and ears to. Featuring friends old and new – CD1 gathers together 20 tracks from a select specially invited roster – included among the grooves unreleased and alternate early versions of cuts by the likes of Soft Hearted Scientists, The Luck of Eden Hall, Us and Them and The Past Tense to name just a few. So where do we start – well unusually and impishly at the end for tucked away at the close sits a previously unreleased cut by Beau dating back to 1981 – a track that will flip wigs – seriously have you ever heard that Midgley man sounding so loose as he does on ‘MoonRock’ – kinda like the classic rolling blues sound trademarked by a young Sun Studios rephrased through a cosmic visor – Clinic and their ilk need to get onto this."Praise indeed! Enjoy, festival-goers!

Quick follow-up...
Elsewhere in the Sunday Experience review (this time of CD3) is a ref to "Simfonica’s frankly immense ‘Mother Russia’ which aside holding the honour of weighing in with the lengthiest cut here also sounds like some greeting visitation from beyond the veil".
I don't think he clocked Simfonica's also yours truly, under a very thick cloak of anonymity...
