Tom Middleton’s recordings as Cosmos, Global Communication and The Jedi Knights (alongside Mark Pritchard) have consistently broken new ground in electronic music. So when Tom decides to research into the arcane art of the cover version, you have to expect the unexpected. As you would expect from a man who combines an encyclopaedic musical knowledge with a particularly wry sense of humour, the sublime and the ridiculous are both well represented. From Nina Simone's soulful take on the Beatle's "Here Comes The Sun" to the Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain's warped version of Ms Dynamite's signature tune, this double CD entertains and enlightens in equal measure. Across these 50 tracks are examples of musical genius, sheer bravado and pure folly. You be the judge of which is which.
