Unnatural Selection



Richard Ashcroft really summed it up when he sung that the drugs don't work they just make you worse and after a hefty overdose of aural antidepressants I now feel surrounded by a strange sensation of numbness. So, it's from this delirious state of comedown confusion that I bring you the Unnatural Selection - a truly random selection of tracks that have been rocking my boat for the past couple of months.
