THE GO! TEAM - Thunder, Lightning, Strike (20 Year Anniversary Edition) - CD [SEP 13]

CD - Packaged with a recreation of the original CD-R demo version of the album that stands up as a document of band leader Ian Parton’s unique method of working.

20 years of The Go! Team’s Thunder Lightning Strike, 20 years of lasers through tracing paper, orange tone oscillations, cable access hangover, music made through sunburnt circuits, a K-tel dream sequence, a haunted vision mixer, station wagon-core, straight to video, VHS in distress, something in the fog, fluff on the needle, chromakey constellations, a hovercraft on the fret board, maxing the minute maid, faxing a car alarm, a Morse code pep talk, etch-a-sketch jackknife, a daily Haley’s comet, light sound colour motion, a holiday from yourself… 

The LP is pressed on translucent red vinyl and both CD and LP are packaged with a recreation of the original CD-R demo version of the album that stands up as a document of band leader Ian Parton’s unique method of working. This final reissue is a celebration of a record that sounded out of time in 2004, dripping in future nostalgia, and which twenty years on still sounds as unique and uncategorisable as it did when it arrived.
