Compiled by Robert Luis, Shapes 08:01 is the first collection of 2008 and is headed in a deeper, more song-based direction, giving a tantalising taster of some of the best current music on the label, including a handful of exclusive releases. Tru Thoughts have snapped up an incredible array of exciting new talents of late, and this eclectic CD offers a chance to check out some of the latest additions to the roster, alongside a host of more familiar faces such as The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Hot 8 Brass Band, Nostalgia 77, The Bamboos and Alice Russell.
