a Metro review for It's The Taking Part That Counts

we have a review in the Metro:

There will doubtless be other musical tributes to the Olympics, be they blandly triumphalist orchestral anthems or bombastic power ballads, but none will be as charming as this two-CD collection, in which each of the 26 sports at the London Games are represented by a single track.

it's the taking part that counts

it's the taking part that counts is a 26 track compilation album of indie, folk, pop, and electronica, celebrating the 26 Olympic sports... includes exclusive tracks from Saint Etienne, White Town, Hannah Peel, Darren Hayman, Flotation Toy Warning, the Leaf Library, Hacia Dos Veranos, Hong Kong In The 60s, Hawaii Fried Dough, Linda Guilala, the Sunny Street, Alexander's Festival Hall, Sool, Band A Part, DJ Downfall, Monster Bobby, MassiveAnneFrank, Parenthesis..., Ellis Island Sound, the Libero, Fox, Town Bike, Jeff Mellin, One Fathom Down, the Vatican Cellars, and High Barnets (featuring the Butterflies Of Love)... in the build-up to the release you'll be able to hear each of the tracks on this blog...
