2CD
Following the incredible acclaim at UK/Irish press and radio of the two Telefís albums in 2022 - a hAon and a Dó - and the tragic death of Cathal Coughlan in May, Jacknife Lee has collected all of the band’s remixes and alternate versions to create a commemorative companion piece called 'Special Report'.
A 22-track set across 2 CDs, 'Special Report' features a brand new Jacknife Lee intro and outro plus two previously unreleased mixes by Howie B. (Strawboy Supernova) and Jacknife Lee (The Age Of Cling)
Features the Summer’s big streaming hits "Falun Gong Dancer" with Jah Wobble and "Space Is Us", remixed by the mighty Basement Jaxx. Features remixes by luminary figures in electronic pop including Thomas Leer, Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode / Mute Records) and Emperor Machine (Andy Meecham a.k.a. Bizarre Inc.)
Though many of these mixes have previously been available on digital streaming platforms, none has ever been released on CD - until now!
