"You Don't Need Darkness To Do What You Think Is Right: New Geographic Music"

It had a Kevin Shields track I hadn't heard before ("Outro") and a Nagisa Ni Te track called "Me, on the Beach" which I thought might be a reference to "Mimi On The Beach" (having listened to it now, it doesn't seem to be), plus some Pastels, and it didn't seem to be a record label comp, so I was intrigued; it was going cheap, so I was sold (so to speak). It's a fairly quiet, dreamy set, hanging together well as a whole - that certain kind of indie that will never excite but possesses a quiet charm nonetheless.
