They say good things come in small packages, or at least some of the time, and at just eight tracks long Andy Bell's spectacular The View From Halfway Down is certainly proof. Ride guitarist and GLOK producer, here the musical maestro gives us the big picture, calling on a range of styles to create a jangly, hallucinatory indie that's as familiar as Madchester and fresh enough to make you think none of that era ever happened.

Or at least that's certainly the case with super-charged psyche opener 'Love Comes In Waves'. The next track, 'Indica', doesn't exactly contest our theory, either, easing the vibe with a loose, open breakbeat and hypnotic groove. By now you're hooked, so we probably don't even need to mention the likes of delicate lo-fi acoustic number, 'Cherry Cola', or the warm layers of synth on closer 'Heat Haze On Weyland Road'.
