C90

Review: Various Artists - C90 Ah, the good old mixtape - a relic of a bygone era when we would spend hours carefully crafting the perfect playlist for our crush or best mate. Now, the folks at C90 have gathered a diverse group of artists to create their very own mixtape masterpiece. From the get-go, it's clear that this compilation is a labour of love. With tracks ranging from indie pop to electronic bangers, there's something for everyone on here. The sequencing is expertly done, with each song flowing seamlessly into the next like a musical tapestry. Highlights include the dreamy shoegaze of "Sunset Drive" by The Swirls, the infectious groove of "Disco Inferno" by The Funky Monkeys, and the haunting ballad "Lost in the Woods" by The Whispering Pines. Each track brings something unique to the table, making for a truly dynamic listening experience. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows - there are a few duds scattered throughout the mix. "Soggy Sandwiches" by The Moldy Croutons falls flat with its uninspired lyrics and lacklustre production, while "Toilet Break" by The Flushers is just plain weird. Overall, C90 is a fun and quirky compilation that will transport you back to the days of mixtapes and mix CDs. Sure, there are a few bumps along the way, but the highs more than make up for the lows. So fire up your cassette player, pop this bad boy in, and let the good times roll.
