The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike! (20Th Anniversary Edition)

Released: 13/09/24

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.
