If the sounds of Metronomy has passed you by this package is a perfect introduction. I reckon that even if you’ve missed out in the last 20 odd years there are tunes here that you recognise. There is nothing here not to enjoy, one gets to journey through the twists and turns of the musical life and times of musician and producer Joseph Mount. There is also a rather nifty BBC sessions collection alongside. So, give this Metronomy collection your ear and then head into the back catalogue. You’ve been missing out! Read the blurb…
Since their formation in 1999 by musician and producer Joseph Mount, Metronomy have carved out a legacy as one of the UK’s most influential electronic acts, releasing boundary-pushing music across a two-decade career. Bridging the gap between experimental electronic music and accessible pop, Metronomy continue to be a leading force in visual aesthetics, innovative production techniques, and energetic live shows.
Now, for the first time, the band compile standout tracks from their acclaimed seven studio albums and previously unreleased BBC live recordings from between 2009-2019, across BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2, in a special collection. Showcasing everything from the charm of early releases like ‘You Could Easily Have Me’ to the sophisticated pop of ‘The Look’, and the dance-floor magic of ‘Love Letters’, the release captures Metronomy’s magnetic energy and distinctive sound. Reflecting the breadth of Metronomy’s 20-year evolution, the album’s artwork is a visual testament to the band’s journey, crafted using elements of logos and designs from across their catalogue.
