My my, I only ticked three on my first pass. I remember almost none of these, including the Missy's. ("Remember" being the wrong word for what's probably a lot of British pop and garage that I've never heard.) Am listening to Leslie Carter right now, who's got the endorsement of Metal Mike and of skyecaptain and it's... I don't know... recalls an era of cheap synthesized island beats and nasal vocals, and is not bad at all, the style has its integrity, and the track is insinuating its way into me, but doesn't really come through with personality and hooks, at least not yet.
