Re.kod’s Nature Got the Upper Hand opens with organic breakbeats, leading into Charles Bradley’s raw soul in Where Do We Go From Here. Ian Brown’s Laugh Now adds Brit-rock swagger before Soulwax transforms The Rolling Stones’ classic into a dance anthem. Groove Armada’s Are ‘Friends’ Electric? and Kasabian’s I.D. inject electro-pop and rock vigour.

U2’s Numb turns arena rock into a hypnotic mantra, then Blackwater Hardware’s In Vein dives into gritty electro. Tom of England’s Song of the Sex Monk teases with acid-laced funk, while Maelstrom’s Hunger plunges into brooding techno. The Maddkatt Courtship revives raw house on My Fellow Boppers, followed by Talaboman’s Brutal Chugga Chugga and Fischerspooner’s Natural Disaster in electrifying electroclash.

13th Floor Elevators’ Slip Inside This House ignites psychedelia; Silent Dust’s Half Night and The Vacant Lots’ 6Am weave post-punk shadows with minimal grooves. Prog drama arrives via Uriah Heep’s Lady In Black before The Cinematic Orchestra’s A Promise and Key Elements’ Orchestra Mode wrap the mix in cinematic warmth. I Am Kloot’s indie reflection and Thor 54’s cosmic disco yield to Galaxy 2 Galaxy’s jazz-inflected techno. M83’s haunting Beauties Can Die ushers in dreamlike electronica, and The Flaming Lips’ Race for the Prize remix closes this era-spanning voyage on a euphoric high.
