The double album kicks off with a stone cold classic; ‘Analogue Bubblebath’, which was the debut release from the ever innovative electronic enigma Aphex Twin, who will be headlining The Big Top on Saturday at this year’s Bestival.  Indie dons du jour Black Kids’ breakthrough single ‘I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You’, Carl Craig’s cascading ‘At Les’, the title track from dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip’s stunning debut album ‘Angles’ and Acid House legends 808 State’s sublime ‘Pacific 202’ all follow as Mr da Bank crams in boundless quality cuts.  Appearances from Oxford’s Foals, enigmatic genius Gideon Conn, synth pop doyens Human League, one-man-riot anti-hero pop star Kid Carpet, soul-tronica trailblazer Jamie Lidell, raucous rock n rollers Kitty Daisy & Lewis and the blissful folk of Lucky Elephant lead on to the leftfield pop brilliance of Micachu who rounds off the first part of the A-Z in some style.

Danger Mouse produced ‘ones to watch’ The Shortwave Set open up the action for disc two on the letter ‘N’ with ‘Now Til 69’. The 8 Bit grooves of thecocknbullkid’s ‘On My Own’, the punky pop of Pete & The PiratesCome On Feet’ and Christopher D Ashley’s ‘sluttish warehouse electro’ on ‘Sugar Coated Lies’ keep the pressure on before Roots Manuva’s timeless ‘Witness (1 Hope)’ makes its presence felt. The unhinged bleep-pop of Slagsmalsklubben’s ‘Sponsored By Destiny’, Transglobal Underground’s majestic ‘Temple Head’, Underworld’s immortal ‘Cowgirl’ and Pendulum’s colossal ‘Visions’ bring things into the home straight that sees Little Dragon, Sunday Best new boys The Ghost and the throbbing Yacht providing a superlative closeout that leaves Zombie Zombie’s epic psychedelic wig-out ‘Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free’ to bring the A-Z of Bestival to an emphatic end, well and truly whetting the appetite for Bestival’s 5th birthday at Robin Hill Country Park this September.
