Time Travel Has Never Sounded This Good
When indie British producer Fran Ashcroft decided to collaborate with himself across five decades, he didn't just break the space-time continuum – he made it groove. "The Songs That Never Were" is what happens when your present self finds your past self's lost tapes and thinks "these could use a bit of sprucing up."
From the gloriously vintage "Cabdriver" (recorded when flares were still a fashion statement) to "Waiting For The Britpop Revival" (because timing is everything, even when you're time traveling), each track is a conversation between then and now. It's like someone took a record store's deepest dreams, sprinkled them with modern fairy dust, and pressed them to vinyl. (Note: this album only available on CD)
This isn't just an album; it's a paradox with a backbeat. Ashcroft has managed to create something that sounds both authentically vintage and freshly pressed – imagine if George Martin had access to Pro Tools, or if Joe Meek had an iPhone. The result is a collection that proves some songs don't age – they just wait for the right moment to exist.
For those brave enough to bend the laws of musical physics, "The Songs That Never Were" offers a passport to a place where the best of the past meets the technology of tomorrow. Just remember: where we're going, we don't need roads – just really good speakers.

"There is a uniqueness about this album; a trueness and soul you do not come across often much in these days of music to be played on phones."
