Inventively fusing art-rock and world music together, C Cat Trance offers up fascinating tracks such as "Dreams of Leaving," "Hawkline Monster," and "Clawhammer Stomp" on this collection of 1980s material. Following his departure from punk-funk outfit Medium Medium, singer Rees Lewis formed C Cat Trance. Noticeably different from Medium Medium in its instrumentation, the group still retained some of the density and intensity of Rees' former group, but went in a different direction. C Cat Trance relied heavily on world-music instrumentation, scales and time signatures to develop their sound. The results are dark and moody, with a little bit of pop sensibility thrown in for good measure. This Cherry Red collection samples songs from their first EP and the four subsequent full-lengths that followed. Also included are five tracks that were designated for another album, but due to the Red Flame imprint folding, they were never issued. For casual fans of Medium Medium and Lewis' canon, it's well worth the price in picking this up and getting C Cat Trance's finest moments on one disc, and for die-hard fans it's worth the price alone for the unreleased tracks that signal a bold new direction the group was to take. ~ Rob Theakston
