Thanks mate - glad you like. FF are often overlooked but those boys laid the ground for the likes of J5 and others.

Wow! What a list of great albums and what a time to have been a teen. These were the sounds of my youth Simon. Thanks so much for sharing. Only one I didn’t know was the Freestyle Fellowship. Another great piece too. Hope you’re well! ✊🏻

Another fine price of writing Simon, I love reading these as there’s always something to learn, especially about the music I’m not really into. I knew all the releases by sight but had only ever ventured into the world of Burial. The first two album blew my mind, like FSOL living in Croydon.
