What was that I heard? Is that the Bringer of Jollity pulsating through my brain cavity? Holy fucking shit, it is... Screw sleeping, this music is better than 50 energy drinks combined. It was as if I had slept for half a day as I went bounding through the house to where the system had been set up, and to the surprise of my mates, started ‘re-enacting’ Jupiter. They had left me for dead, but with new found vigour I powered on, not only through the key Planet songs, but enough albums for the sun the rise. The power of music... Whodathunkit? Either way, not much else to say, Jupiter and Mars are the definite stand outs here.
