Slow Acid (from Motion) no1YHRhFr5A They even went as far as giving this song a video in 2014 and it was a very different direction production wise, one of his best album tracks for me! Colours (from I Created Disco) l9Lu7PcINxE It got a digital and vinyl release in late 2007 and all the signs pointed towards an actual single push with promos being sent out and remixes commissioned, but it never materialised, which is a shame as I feel it would've finished the debut album campaign nicely. Here 2 China (from 18 Months) j1rVKU9MquI It's understandable we didn't get anymore singles from 18 Months considering its longevity and it giving Calvin 9 chart smashes, but Here 2 China is such a dirty bop I love how he and Dillon Francis worked together and brought Dizzee in too Maybe Let's Go or Thinking About You could've been scrapped in favour of this? This is the Industry (from I Created Disco) ueKvs2X7zbs This has a great guitar riff supporting its electronic production and would've been my choice as either single #4 or replacing Merrymaking altogether despite my love for it.
