World Series: Barceona, Hed Kandi

First off, let us just say we love that this double CD comes with a cute city guide to Barcelona’s hotspots – nice touch. The compilation is mixed by Hed Kandi’s headline DJs – Greg Myers and Sam Cannon – and is a collection of music that epitomises the hedonistic, fun-loving Mediterranean city that is Barcelona. On the double CD set you’ll find pure party tunes from the likes of David Penn, Jamie Jones and Waifs And Strays. We rate disc one over disc two, simply because it includes the ultimate fiesta track, Patrick Hagenaar’s L.O.V.E.

Velociraptor!, Kasabian

Leicester’s first boys of indie-rock have hit the charts again, and fans worried that the fourth release was going to disappoint needn’t worry. Songs like title track Velociraptor! and Days Are Forgotten are a nod to the glory days of their first two offerings, but the highlight of the album for us is recent single, Goodbye Kiss, the wistful track borders on a ballad, but don’t worry, drums still drive the song. While lead singer Tom’s claim that the album would "change people’s lives" might not quite be true, it’s an album we recommend wholeheartedly.
