If there are any bored musicians out there looking for a cash cow - let me throw you this hairybone for nothing.
I was thinking about how the musical tastes of my generation have evolved and mellowed over the years. Alot of us saw out our teenage years chucking shapes at lasers to the latest four-on-the-floor delectations in breezy warehouses. While these days we like all sorts and even delve into some folkiness and singer-songwriter acoustic balladry. Some of us even enjoyed Nouvelle Vague's bossanova cover versions of new-wave and punk classics (until it became music for mobile phone ads).
And with the Klaxons covering Grace's 'Not Over Yet' (as mentioned below) what better way to jump on the zeitgeist and reference the old school than to release an album packed with acoustic covers of classic rave anthems (Fluke's 'Slid' immediately comes to mind as a candidate for cross-over).
Ok - so it's not entirely original and we are venturing dangerously close to 'Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain' territory...but it would sell.
