I've probably mentioned this before, but James Holden's album* 'The Animal Spirits' is SO BLOODY GOOD, and you ought to be listening to it right now, just like I am.

*It's actually by 'James Holden and the Animal Spirits' but that turned the sentence into a nightmarish combination of words.

This #ThrowbackThursday I think it is time to give Extrawelt's 'Soopertrack' a nostalgic whirl.

The vinyl is long gone, but the original + 'Zu Fuss' B-side + tool version mp3s are available for posterity via our @Bandcamp.com>> extrawelt.bandcamp.com/album/sooper...
