“The Shed Track and more”
This is such a great selection. I think it's been an amazing year so far, well done boomkat for continually presenting and previewing and teasing me with lovely tunes. On my radio show (http://bovineradio.wordpress.com) I post many links to boomkat as the ability to preview full tracks is extremely useful.

Good call on Pangaea, I would've been amazed had it not been included from the off !! Hopefully a release from Immerse on Part 2. It's defo not easy to compile

“Good discovery”
Not heard Shed before, but Estrange is amazing. Simple, drifting chords with a headnod accompaniment. Cracking.

The Stephan Matthieu track is a jewel
I'm old enough to remember the festive fifty. 28 tracks is not enough to celebrate 08.

Great, high quality, wide-ranging selections. Fab. Only two in the list I actually have (Fun Years & Stephan Matthieu) and both are in my personal faves of '08. At first glance I would have said that many of the others were too 'dancefloor' orientated for me but this list will make me broaden my horizons! Looking forward to Part 2..........

“Trust In Boomkat”
This is probably the only place where I'd spend my money on such a collection of individual picks without second guessing the choices. And I thought that I had my selection of Best of 2008 down packed... I guess after hundreds of albums I reviewed there are still a few I must absolutely pick up! Looking forward to the rest! Make my wallet bleed! Please!
